I’ve been photographing these boys for years now and I am always happy to see them and their mom   We had an exceptionally steamy evening in Annapolis- but then again, haven’t most evenings been hot and steamy in Annapolis this summer?  Of course, being boys, they were relatively indifferent to the conditions and happy to be out exploring.  Here are a few to share from their session:

It’s been a long time since I have seen this family!  4 years ago, their oldest was a rolly polly infant and now he’s a baseball-playing, joking, laughing, sprinkler-jumping, happy four AND A HALF year old *who is really closer to 5, but I’m just going by what he told me and who am I to correct a 4.5 year old   Since that time, they have added to their happy family and I was so happy to meet their youngest with his adorable smile and precious curls.

I will be out of the office and returning Monday, July 12.  I wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July holiday!  I know I am looking forward to the time with my family and hope you enjoy yours as well.

But because no blog post is complete without pictures and because this session was months ago and deserves to be shared, here’s a little sweetheart to help you start your weekend off right

If you have followed my blog, you’ll probably recognize big brother with his big smile!  But guess what, little brother has a pretty infectious smile himself

I wanted to share a new product upgrade I just started offering this year- the image cover album.  Instead of a fabric cover, which were already available in so many colors and patterns to make choosing difficult, now there’s another option.  Your album can be customized to be even more  one-of-a-kind by adding a photo from your session right into the cover.  Printed on silk and then laminated in a protective coating, these are absolutely gorgeous!

And because I have not shared from this newborn twins’ session from a couple months back, here are a few of my favorites of these adorable babies:

Here’s a family I have known since photographing their firstborn almost two years ago. It is always a pleasure to watch great families as they add new members.  And of course, I love being able to meet their newest little ones!

Big brother willingly helped me out while I was testing my settings:

He is not quite two years older than his little brother so we had to stay real close so the baby didn’t get *too much* love.

There was some waiting involved in getting the little guy convinced to sleep for us- but once he did, he was out.

It was wonderful seeing your family again and sharing your newest joy!

Here’s a very special girl- you see she has been watching my boys since she was 13 or 14 and is now 18 and getting ready to graduate from high school!  I thought saving this post was fitting considering tomorrow is her special graduation day.  I was pleased to get to photograph her in her ball gown for her senior prom.  She’s beautiful- both inside and out!

My oldest who adores her (as does my youngest, but he was busy rolling down the hill giggling)

I wish you all the best with college in the fall.  I can’t wait to see where life takes you!

These minis filled so fast, I never even got to mention they were happening on the blog.  Here are a few favorites to share!

Here’s a little fella I met recently.  Of course, on the day I arrived, he had decided that there was nothing he’d rather do than eat.  Mom smelled way too good and was far too tempting so we did spend a lot of time chatting and catching up while he happily filled his belly.  But, in between, thankfully he did allow us the privilege of capturing a several great shots of him in his first weeks of life.  I always love getting to watch the families I photograph expand their families.   Congratulations on your little man!
