maternity portraits in the snow | severna park, md photographer

One of the biggest benefits to choosing a photographer with a studio is having the flexibility to shoot indoors when the weather is extreme.  On this 14 degree day, we were excited to capture some photos with a blanket of freshly fallen snow but being outside for more than a few minutes was miserable! So, we met at the studio where mom-tp-be choose 2 gowns from our maternity wardrobe and captured a gorgeous set of images inside before we went to a nearby location to create images in the snow.  Maternity Portraits in Snow Maryland Maternity Photographer with studio Maternity Portraits in Snow Maryland Maternity Photographer with studio Maternity Portraits in Snow Maryland Maternity Photographer with studio Maternity Portraits in Snow Maryland Maternity Photographer with studio

studio newborn photography | pasadena, md

Sometimes while I’m editing images, I can’t help but to enjoy the emotion you notice when all the color is gone.  Black and white images always have such an impact on me – especially in moments where parents are holding their sweet new baby skin-to-skin.  I love the contrast between these loving, nurturing embraces and the shadow and tattoos.

When parents come into our Pasadena, MD studio, they often plan on being in a few images while the focus is on baby’s first portraits but when I imagine the images that will be most cherished, these tender moments come to mind. mom with newborn skin-to-skin dad with newborn skin-to-skin dad with tattoos holding newborn skin-to-skin mom with newborn skin-to-skin dad with tattoos holding newborn skin-to-skin dad with tattoos holding newborn skin-to-skin

3 year milestone session | Pasadena, MD Photographer

I believe in capturing milestones because when you turn 3, you stand a little taller than ever before – but shorter than you’ll ever be again. The shape of your neck is no longer hidden by a chubby baby chin – but your cheeks are still full and round. Your eyes light up when you talk about your favorite type of airplane and your tongue still gets in the way of perfectly pronounced words. Your pincher fingers are finding all sorts of things and testing how they fly when you throw them or storing them in your pockets for another day. You still tug your ears when you’re feeling tired – or shy. You are curious and fearless enough to be out of mama’s reach – but not quite ready to let her out of your sight. Just a little bit of your time and a few shutter clicks will be your ticket back to the time between baby and childhood.
