You may use my monofin inside your tails.
Will Mermaid Carissa be there for our session?
Yes! Mermaid Carissa is wonderful with kids and will be there to interact, tell stories and be a part of your photos. If your child is shy around new people and would prefer a session on their own, you may book a session without Mermaid Carissa – the price is the same.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! We love dogs. The beach is open to the community so please only bring animals who are happy to meet other kids and dogs and be sure to keep them on a lead.

duck pond mini sessions | anne arundel county photographer with studio
I’m just absolutely in love with this painted scene. The wooden dock, boulders, cattails and fishing pole feel like they live along the waters of the Chesapeake. This set is perfect for babies and children from birth through preschool – we had our cat model the set as it makes a great choice for small-medium pets too!

FAQ
Who is this for? Mother’s Day is coming up and this is a great opportunity for a gift to the mom in your life to have updated portraits with or of their children and grandchildren – but you don’t have to be a mother or be celebrating Mother’s Day to join us. If you love this colorful, floral set – you’re invited.
We think it’s the perfect fit for parents with babies in their arms and big kids who can walk carefully through the hanging flowers but you should know toddlers (generally 12months-3 years) might not have fun on a set where they are asked to be careful. Look out for another event that will best match that stage.
What stage of pregnancy is best for portraits? I suggest scheduling between 22-34 weeks but whenever you’re ready is the perfect time.
What’s in the studio wardrobe? Gowns and dresses to fit children from 2T-14 and adults from 0-4X. We also have a selection of baby clothing in neutral colors/styles from newborn -18mo. See photos on the website or schedule a free appointment to make your selection after booking a session.
