Happy Mother's Day

It's all about this woman. The mother. In the the throws of doing what she does best. Loving and smiling. I have only known Jill for about a year when we started capturing images of her new baby girl, but have had quite a few sittings with her beautiful family since then. I have to say, I have NEVER seen her in a bad mood, loose her temper, or display anything but smiling patience - even in the face of challenging situations. I collect people in my head. I collect people who I admire and who have characteristics I choose to emulate. I have collected Jill. So happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I wish you joy, patience, and peace. But above all, I wish you the love in the moments. All the moments.

They Found Each Other

Melissa and Al. They found each other. They fell in love. And they had an amazingly personal wedding down to every little detail. And through it all, they were happy, relaxed, and present to experience all the love and laughter surrounding them on their special day. From their thoughtful bride and groom gifts, to the bucket of flipflops for each guest, to their amazing band choice (Onyx in the HOUSE), every detail added to the fun, beauty, emotion, and joy as they celebrated their union. We wish you the best!

Smiles on the Bay

This beautiful family invited us out to their waterfront home to capture some warm, autumn fun. The children were invited to play for candid shots of them enjoying fishing, sand, and the family pet. Each child also got some special time with Mom and Dad for a beautiful collection to last a lifetime.

Wedding in a Wooded Retreat

This amazing couple is full of love. You can see it in their smilies, their decisions, and their spirit. They have so much love for each other, their earth, their families, and for their fellow humans in need. We enjoyed capturing such a special day for them.

A Record of a Lifetime

This beautiful family joined us at Jonas Green Park right across from the USNA for a photoshoot to commemorate their Nana's 75th birthday. From across town, and even across the country, these family members gathered to honor a woman who is at the center of today's love and celebration.

Long Time Lovin'

Krissy and Tommy have been together for a very long time and it shows in their love, ease, and laughter. As they approach their wedding date, we got a chance to shoot their engagement sitting at a community beach where they spent many hours together during their years in love. We enjoyed making their love into our art, and look forward to their special day.

Lovin' in Naptown

This couple came prepared with a Save-the-Date sign, wine glasses, a change of clothing, and a great attitude. We captured a variety of settings around the waterfront and historic Annapolis. Then wrapped up the shoot with some images on the beautiful grounds of the USNA. With some dance moves, lots of laughter, and a piggy back ride, we all had fun capturing the love of these two.
