So Handsome | Harford County Family Photographer

How cute is this little guy!!  I just love his facial expressions, he was a little quiet when the "A" family arrived but it didn't take long for his little personality to show.

Thanks for a fun morning guys! - Anne

Blake Turns Two | Harford County Children's Photographer

I was really excited when parents Molly and Tim were game for taking this next set of pictures out of town.  I love shooting in Phoenix, don't get me wrong, but I love changing it up and having something unexpected in the background.  These next location definitely qualified as "different".  We came upon a collector of all things antique.  At first it all looked like junk, but then his careful arrangement of delicately balanced antique lanterns, groupings of old wash bins and glass jugs, and placement of vintage stoves and ovens started to take shape.  All placed perfectly on a rustic styled backdrop of his old shed in the woods.  Sounds crazy, right?  But it just worked, especially with this little man's outfit, and made those big blue eyes pop!

Blake you have grown up before my eyes, and I hope two is a wonderful year for you.  You've got an amazing family surrounding you and a great start on life! - Anne

Nine Months and Growing | Harford County Children's Photographer

I met Mandi and Chris early in the morning last week for our shoot, and when they took their son Landon out of the car I was instantly captivated at what a distinguished little gentleman he was.  He was just adorable, and his personality was made to match!  He pretty much let us put him anywhere and was SO easy going.  I had a great time trying out some new props that my neighbor let me borrow.  Thanks again, De!  I love how this session turned out.  Here is Landon practicing walking with daddy.  

Here's just the most adorable little face!  So handsome.

I love this one shot into the sun in this little old wagon.  The haze gives it such a timeless feel.  I can see this one hanging on a wall.

This might be my favorite photo from our session.  Mandi does such a good job making him smile and laugh, and he couldn't help but go in for a little Landon-style kiss.

Love this last one shot into the sun.

Mandi and Chris you do such an amazing job with Landon.  Nine months is a golden age that goes by so fast. I hope you enjoy these memories! - Anne

Momma to Be | Harford County Maternity Photographer

This little momma is going to stun you so watch out :)  I met Samantha and her husband last week in Maryland for maternity photos.  The sun was just an hour from dipping beyond the trees and we were able to do a bunch of great setups plus capture those golden hazy moments.  Here are some pictures from our session.  We lucked out and got just enough shade to use this amazing door.

I was actually packing up to go and turned around to talk to Samantha before this next shot.  I saw her standing there and had to take everything back out to get this picture and I'm SO glad I did.  She's glowing and just so beautiful.

They humored me with this walk in the field and I love the way this turned out.

Thanks for a great evening guys, can't wait to meet the little one! - Anne

Urban Love | Phoenix Photographer

I just wanted to share a few pics from a recent session I did with this gorgeous mama and her family.  I love these shots we did with just mom and dad... they are sizzlin'!

Love it!  And of course their adorable children...

Love this family!

Thanks for a fun morning guys! - Anne

C Family | Phoenix Family Photographer

I am pretty behind on my blogging lately, but only because I have been spending so much wonderful time behind the lens with all of you.  I am going to try and continue to stay committed to the blog though, so here we go!

I met up with Aubrey, Eric, and their son Ethan the other day for family photos.  They are dear friends of my family and so I was happy and excited to get to take their photos.  I love this one of Eric and Aubrey.  They have been together since high school and this photo just recalls young love to me.

Here is their son, Ethan.  I know it looks like he is giving me this great smile and that I must have some great tricks up my sleeve, but he's really just cracking up at his parents who are making him laugh so hard.  I loved all the pictures from this little setup - thank goodness for parents who know how to make their kiddos crack up! 

Here are Aubrey and Ethan.  Such a good mommy!

Taking the most fun type of walk their is...

All together now...

Another one of Ethan.  He just has a face that was meant to smile - so adorable!

And one last one of this great family all together.

Thanks for a fun morning, guys! - Anne

I recently was lucky enough to be introduced to Uyen Tran, owner of Little Hatchlings.  She makes some of the most intricate, delicate, and all around amazing hair bands, flowered clips, and headbands out there.  From newborns to little girls and even bridal, Uyen has an amazing eye for pairing colors and textures and can even create custom pieces.

In short, I'm in love with these gems and since I love sharing a good product I'm letting you in on the secret!  If you don't have a little girl you can treat your sister, niece, or yourself!  Here are some of the photos I took for Little Hatchlings with the help of two of my very favorite girls around.

Landon | Harford County Newborn Photographer

Meet Landon!  I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy when he was only 11 days old.  He was so good during our session, a sleepy little guy but we did manage to catch him with his eyes open for a moment or two.  He was just a dream, and here are some images from our session...

A family member gave this blanket to parents Alyssa and Paul, it was handmade just for Landon.  I think he likes it! :)

Alyssa and Paul, thank you so much for letting me share and capture such a special moment in time for you.  They really are only this little for a short time.
