Marnie and Karl recently got married in Miami, Fl… attended a wedding that I shot (remember Megan and Jon?) and contacted me about an after session with Marnie’s horses…

So, I headed out to Marnie’s parents farm, Goose Green Farm… which was absolutely gorgeous, and we took some photos… Marnie looked fabulous!

Gorgeous gal…. gorgeous light….

The newlyweds…. Would LOVE to see their wedding pics!!! Aren’t they cute?!

LOVE!!!

Marnie changed out of her dress and we did some lifestyle shots around the property…Had a blast and they were troopers!

Thanks Marnie and Karl for a great session!

Meet Faith and Rob! I met them a few years back at Heather and Eric’s wedding. Faith was a bridesmaid in the wedding and I was so excited when she contacted me to shoot her wedding next May! It is always so much fun to work with people that I have previously met.

We shot their engagement session in Old Ellicott City… a place that they love to spend time, and we had a blast! They were super into having a theme…. and they looked so cute!

LOVE the birdcage veil.

They spend many days enjoying the weather… reading, enjoying each other’s company…The sweetest light of the day!

Got a little carried away… and picked a few from the yummy sunlight here… It is my absolute favorite light to play in….

Thanks Faith and Rob for a great session! Can’t wait until the wedding!!!

If you have been following the blog for awhile, you might remember Megan and Kevin from their wedding at the Cloisters Castle in Lutherville. You can view their wedding blog post here.

They got married last October… and it RAINED! So, we headed back to the Cloisters for some more photos…. to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor scenery!!! Such a gorgeous place… and a gorgeous couple!

Since getting married… they bought a new house… got a dog… and are just enjoying each other! It was so good to see them again. I will say that I thought Kevin was super shy… turns out he is not shy at all… Must have been the wedding day jitters…

I LOVE this light!

Thanks Kevin and Megan!!!!

There is a family that has taken care of my husband for the past 5 years… and I am so grateful for them. When my husband Josh moved to Maryland, he met Randall at work… and they became great friends. Every Wednesday night Randall’s wife, Stephanie, hosts “movie night,” and my husband heads over to their house to spend time with Randall, and a few of their buddies….

Stephanie is the other (often better) wife that I am referring to. Not only does Josh head over there for some much needed man time, Stephanie makes dinner for the boys every week! So, generally speaking I am off duty on Wednesday evenings…..and quite honestly, I am terrible in the kitchen to begin with. Wednesday is the day that I have always known my husband would be fed well… no thanks to me. For his sake I wish every day was Wednesday… He did not marry a domestic goddess, and I am the very first to admit that!

Stephanie and Randall, thank you for being so wonderful to Josh all of these years and taking care of him…. and being so kind and generous in every way. We appreciate you more than you know!

I did a family session with this family about a week ago… and we headed over to the local park… Randall and Stephanie have 3 boys… Caleb (the oldest), Ian (the middle guy), and Lucas (the teeny guy)…

They are gorgeous children!!!

Super sweet kiddos…. but Stephanie and Randall’s hands sure are full with 3 boys!

Stephanie and Lucas…

This might be one of my favorites of the day…. Here is Ian!

And the whole family…

This little guy is BRAVE!!! He was 100% fearless, and would have climbed anything if he were just tall enough…

Caleb….

The future football star… Maybe he will play for the Steelers?!

Thanks Randall and Stephanie! We love you guys!

I met Alex and Therol about 2 years ago. A great client of mine who has referred so much business (Thank you Judy) recommended they contact me for some photographs… and I am so glad that they did! We did a session at Centennial Park… You can view their session here. They were super cute and so much fun to photograph… so I was THRILLED with Therol contacted me about photographs with their new addition, Ethan!

He is just a little charmer! He will be turning 1 shortly…and he did such a great job, especially considering the heat that day that we shot.

Ethan and daddy!

I have to say that this is my favorite photo of the session. It is so much fun to spend time with new parents… I think I love it because I am about to head into that journey myself and I am excited, but also frightened… The photo below of Therol and Ethan honestly makes me tear up. I look at it and it makes me feel selfish for the parts of our pregnancy journey that I wanted to turn back… I just look at that image and see the  P.U.R.E.   J.O.Y.  that Therol has on her face because she loves being a mom so much. I adore it, and it is a reminder that the new chapter of our life will be scary, yes, but also the most amazing journey that Josh and I will ever take. Thank you Therol for showing me how amazing parenthood is by your simple interaction with Ethan.

He is getting ready to walk…. needs a little help right now, but I am sure that he will be cruising around in no time!

The Happy Family…

Love, love his eyes!!!!

The sign clearly said, “No Wading,” but it was hot…. and it looked fun….

Thank you Alex, Therol, and Ethan! I had such a great time with you guys. It is such a blessing to watch my clients lives grow and change. It is such a privilege to document!
