Riley McNurlan

November 22, 2009

8-month old, Riley McNurlan, entertained me for the afternoon with his curiosity and bright blue eyes in Queenstown, Maryland.  His family , including pets, all got in on the session and were excellent at keeping Riley focused and camera ready.  With big beautiful windows, and natural sunlight entering the house the photographs reflect the families style and fresh approach to life.  I was very impressed with Riley’s room, where his dad painted a Dr. Seuss theme from ceiling to floor.  Best of luck to the little charmer and family!

Taylor Family

October 26, 2009

The Taylor Family: Lauren, John, Leah, and Claire Anne and I met at Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, Maryland for a perfect fall day shoot.  Huge trees around burst with yellows, reds, and oranges giving us beautiful natural backgrounds to work with.  The girls, in between playing around, patiently awaited to be photographed and were full of laughter.  Parents Lauren & John were beyond prepared for the session making for great color-coordinated images.  Highlight of the day: when John took each of the girls and rolled down the hill with them!  Lovely to meet you all.

My World

In a Sugar Shack near Brattleboro, Vermont, a syrup maker wears his “Welcome to My World” uniform.  After showing us around, we got to taste a delicious sample. Did you know it takes 30-50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup?

Reynolds Family

Reynolds Family Photo Session near Hemingway’s on the Eastern Shore in Maryland.  The shoot was very laid back, casual, and full of laughter. Pictured we have the children: Abby, Rylee, Erin, and parents: Carrie and Matt.  Carrie & Matt make a sweet yet strong couple and all three children had beautiful, individual personalities that kept me on my toes from start to finish. Thank you all for a great morning and Congratulations Carrie and Matt on your upcoming 10 year anniversary!

Cute-as-can-be, 5 year-old, Katie Lewis on a photo shoot in Annapolis, Maryland.  The weather was fantastic and we shot during the afternoon when several events and festivals were happening making for a very upbeat day.  Katie, along with her mother, Amy Lewis, made everything so easy and carefree with their laid back attitudes and good moods.  For doing such an excellent job, Katie not only got to roll down the hill, but got ice cream on main street too!

Kammerer Sisters

Sisters, Jacklyn and Julie Kammerer, here together on a photo shoot in Annapolis Maryland.  These two were fantastic troopers-the hot summer heat tried to get the best of us, but we pressed on.  The session was effortless because of their great style mixed with the funky side streets of Annapolis. Thanks for keeping such great attitudes and making me laugh the whole time ladies!

Jake Helms

Jake Helms showcasing his passion for skateboarding in Ocean City, Maryland.  Unfortunately, the Volcom skate park we both knew growing up is now abandoned and run down, forcing us to move onto other ares of the coastal strip for the shoot.  Jake turned a lot of heads from onlookers with his exceptional talent making for a great afternoon of fun in the sun.
