Jack's First Birthday


This little cutie had a first birthday full of poney rides, moon bounces, a clown & western themed everything!

Even though most of the activities were for the older kids he seemed to have a great time.


As you can tell, he really enjoyed digging into that cake.



Sarah, thank you for inviting us to photograph such a fun day!

Ryan & Claire

Last Saturday we spent the morning shooting an engagement session for Ryan & Claire. During the early part of the morning we started out at Morgans Run & a local pond. The weather was perfect and we couldn't ask for better lighting.

In almost every photo we took you can truly see the love that this couple has for each other and it made for some wonderful shots. They were completely comfortable trying any crazy idea we came up with along the way.







To finish off the session, with Ryan in his Dress Blues & Claire in her matching dress, we headed to Old Town Sykesville. At one point we were shooting on the railroad tracks, amongst a restaurant full of on lookers, when around the corner we hear a train whistle. I'm sure it was pretty amusing to them as it did take a second for us all to realize that we were still on the tracks and close to being run over.

When Ryan returns from his overseas tour they plan to get married.


To Ryan and Claire, we would like to thank you for being such great models. We had a great time with you and hope to work with you again soon! Claire, you are truly going to make a beautiful bride.

Laura & Michael

We spent an evening last week shooting two cousins in another High School Senior photo session. A local place near the water called Downs Park seemed to be a great place to start. Now this was a cool place for portrait photography, except it was a little too buggy to spend much time there that evening. We stayed long enough to get a few portraits done before deciding to move on. We’ll be putting that location on our list of places to shoot when the weather is cooler.

Next we stopped at a high school track where we got some great shots of Laura in her track uniform. Go Cougars! To wrap up the evening, we took the session inside. Using a black backdrop, we got few graduation cap and gown portraits of both.




This was a fun shoot for Krista and I, and hopefully for Laura and Michael too. You guys were great! If either of you want to do another session sometime, just let us know.
