Blue Crab Yo-Yo Photography

Atlanta, Georgia.  Two brothers:  Colin & Christopher (aka Patrick) take a few seconds out of their busy schedule of basketball shooting, Angry Bird playing, and Lego building to look at the camera.  How can you not love their boyish charm? – don’t ever loose it!

I haven’t seen Katie since last year but her spunky zest for life is still there – thank goodness.  With the wit of a 20-year-old and a love for squirrels, Katie, her mom Amy and myself roamed around Eastport, Maryland for her photo shoot.  She was very observant and curious about all things water, boating, ducks and a recently aerated lawn.  Some of my favorite photos of the session are her wearing a hat dedicated to her grandmother, and the sunbursts from behind while running through the grass.

We’re back this year with the ever-so-lovely Reynolds Family.  Photo shoot was in Historic Downtown Annapolis, Maryland on a beautiful sunny day.  I loved to see how everyone has grown over the past year (you too Carrie & Matt!)  Although there were many color photos taken the black & white images really captured some special moments.

She’s beautiful, she’s strong, she’s smart, she’s nutty, she’s… my mom!  Photo shoot in Annapolis, Maryland with the best mom in the world.  Since my mom has always been one of my biggest supporters I finally felt it was time to honor her with a photography session.  I grew up in a household with our walls adorned with family pictures.  I hope, as we all get older, these images will become a part of the collection too.  Love you mom!

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!

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.

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, and Erin.  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!

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!
