Where do I start?!?! I know Beth because she used to live here in Maryland…and then she left us all for Boston. But, shortly after she moved to Boston, she met the love of her life and I couldn’t be happier for her. Beth has loved Boston FOREVER and it was really a matter of time….

I was excited when Beth and Brandon hired me to shoot their wedding! What an awesome day to document for someone dear in my life. And, I will say one of the best things about it was seeing how Absolutely perfect Boston is for Beth. She is soooo happy there with Brandon, and they have made such wonderful friends. I was just amazed at the support system that she has up there. She has made some really amazing friends… and if any of you ladies are reading this (you know who you are), I just want to say thank you for taking such good care of Beth and loving her so well. You guys are such a perfect fit for her, and all of her friends here in Maryland couldn’t be happier for her (even though we miss her).  :)

So, a few photos of the day followed by a slideshow of the day which you can also view by clicking here.

From the ladies that Beth lived with…

Beth holding her mom’s wedding dress. Beth’s mom passed away while she was in college, and so Beth used pieces of her mom’s dress to make her veil. She had some really sweet ways to make her mom a piece of her day… and used her handkerchief, and also had a photo of her on a locket on her bouquet. I know it was really hard to not have her mom there…. but Beth has been so strong, and I know her mom would have thought Beth looked absolutely beautiful.

See why First Glance is so awesome?!?!? Love it! This is Brandon… and you can tell he just adores her!

The groomsmen praying for Brandon….

If my husband and I were to get married again, he would surely be wearing a scally cap and converse sneakers…

The beautiful bride!

Love little details like this that make weddings unique. So cute!

For anyone trying to figure out what they can do for a fun exit…. Beth and Brandon had folks toss lavender when they left. Makes for super cute photos… smells amazing… and isn’t something that you really have to clean up…. so it might be a thought if you are looking for a fun exit, but your venue has some stipulations on what you can and can not do…

Congrats Beth and Brandon! Thanks for choosing me to document your day…. and I hope that your Alaskan Cruise was AMAZING!

So last week I met Katie and Randy for a little after wedding fun… I actually don’t like calling it a Trash the Dress Session… because that is not really the case… at least for my philosophy in shooting after the wedding….and I would say that 99% of my clients who have one feel the same way…

So, with that said, if you have any input on what I could call the session… leave me a comment and let me know what you think it should be called!

So Katie and Randy… they were married in the fall and waited until the spring weather decided to come for their session. If you want to view the images from their wedding you can click here, and just scroll down the page. They got married at the Newton White Mansion…. awesome venue!

Katie totally cracks me up! I love that every email she sends makes me laugh out loud… I wish we lived closer together…  :)  She is such a sweet person who is full of life and energy, and I 100% see why Randy is head over heels in love with her!  I should share some of the behind the scenes photos from our session… there are some pretty funny ones. She is definitely a ham!

Doesn’t she look stunning?!?

We went to Brookside Gardens for their session… and had the most incredible light to shoot in. I just love the early evening light!

Love the colors in this tree!!!

Thanks Katie and Randy (and mom)! It was great to see you guys again!! Thanks for being such awesome clients!

Meet Toni and Mike! They are engaged and are getting married this June 12th! Can’t believe that will be coming so soon!

Toni and Mike actually met at a wedding! they hung out a few times after the wedding and have since been inseparable. So now it is time for their wedding and they couldn’t be more excited.

They were super cute… and a bit nervous for their session, but I thought that they did awesome! And, I can’t wait until the wedding.  They brought their most adorable and well behaved dog,  Maggie.  I think Josh and I may need Toni and Mike to train our dog….

We spent some time at a farm up near Westminster/Finksburg at Cold Saturday Farm/Liberty Resevoir. The property was beautiful and we really had the most perfect day.

It is definitely fun to spend time with clients and learn more about them…… and I think it is AWESOME that Mike mentors kids in Baltimore City. What an amazing job… Seriously life changing for those kids… and I am really hoping to get some photos with Toni and her horses!! They are getting married on her parents property, and they have horses… Toni has been riding since “before she was born…”   A bride and horses… that could make for some AMAZING photos!

Love to play with the light at this time of day…

Aren’t they cute!?!

And a soon-to-be family photo!  :)

Thanks Toni and Mike!!! Just less than one month….

Yup, it’s true! Baby Sarah is already 3 months old!!! It has been so much fun to document her journey!!!

You can check out the maternity session here, the birth here (yes, the actual birth), or the newborn session here.  :)

So Beth and Ted are LOVING this stage… Sarah is smiling and cooing… and she isn’t as fussy… they are starting to get some sleep at night…. Life is Good. Baby girl has just about doubled in size!! So crazy how fast they grow!

Sarah is just the cutest!!! Love the diaper cover that Beth found for her session. 

I think this face is funny….. Silly little Sarah…

And she is getting big and strong!!! She can lift her head!!!

Are we done yet? I am getting very tired…..

But Mommy makes me happy!

I love the colors in this photo…. maybe because they remind me of Neopolitan Ice Cream?  Yum!  Look at baby girls gorgeous eyes! You should see how long her lashes are… she gets those from her daddy…

Thanks Baby Sarah! Can’t wait to see you again in a few months!!!
