It’s a wrap! Maryland Portrait Photographer

I’m sitting here…thinking about this year and how it’s so quickly nearing the end. Every year about this time, many of us reflect on all that’s happened and how each moment, each day, each person has affected our lives, changed us, maybe disappointed us, or even inspired us… The year I happily said my vows to my husband and the years my sons came into this world were by far the most extraordinary and beautiful years of my life. This past year has been a remarkable one in it’s own right. Throwing caution to the wind is not unusual for me. I like to take risks. I love a good challenge. This year, however, has presented me with some of the most powerful challenges I’ve ever faced. And it’s been fantastic! I have experienced a sort of awakening, tackling each objection, and always being left with a feeling of complete exhilaration. I am truly living my dream! I have been blessed with more love, joy, and smiling faces than I ever imagined. In this post are some of my favorite photos, in random order, from the year’s sessions that I haven’t yet shared. I hope you enjoy a little peek into all that I’ve work hard on this year!

To all of my amazing friends outside and inside the photographer community, and to my phenomenal family, thank you, for your support, encouragement, and love. Words just can’t express how incredible you all are and how grateful I am for you.

Last but not least, although 2009 is coming to an end, it is still, as always, just the beginning. It’s a big world out there with so much yet for all of us to learn…Every day holds such promise and possibility! We all have dreams, wishes, hopes…what is yours? And what is keeping you from actively pursuing your dream? I want to tell you — Take that risk! Challenge yourself!

Now is the time and you can do it. It’s still just the beginning…

The baptism of beautiful baby “G” — Maryland Family Photographer

Had I known how wonderful this family was, I never would have been so nervous to shoot my first-ever baptism at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Waldorf. I mean, I had a pretty good idea that his family would be nice because my good friend Genelle is this beautiful baby’s Godmother, but I wasn’t prepared for the genuine kindness that is just natural to this family. You really can see it in their eyes and their smiles… Before the ceremony we did some beautiful, traditional family shots, and during the service (I was required to remain in my seat) I captured the quiet but jubilant faces all around me. We even had a chance to get a few shots after the service! Editing their photos has been a pleasure — I get to see those amazing eyes and radiant smiles all over again! And that baby…oh, so sweet! This little girl is a doll… And clearly loved! Family came together from near and far to be here for her important day. It’s a significant and meaningful time in her life and her remarkable family knew it called for celebration! Thank you, Genelle, for believing in me and trusting me to document this special day for your Goddaughter, and thank you to the family for showing me such awesome grace. I hope you enjoy your photos!
