Sadie is one! {Sherwood Gardens in Baltimore, MD}

This little girl is one! I can't believe it was a year ago that we were doing her newborn session. And now Shannon and John are expecting baby number two! We went to Sherwood Gardens and were so thankful the rain held off. The bushes were still blooming and there was a bed of beautiful yellow tulips that were open.

Spring is finally here! One of my favorite places to do family sessions is Sherwood Gardens in Baltimore. In April and May the tulips are in full bloom and make a gorgeous backdrop. I had a blast taking pictures of the Ellingsworth family, especially the two sisters!

JOEL IS ONE! {Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, MD}

The Ramsey family celebrated Joel's 1st birthday a few weeks ago! Time flies, I can't believe he is already one. We went to Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis for the family session. It was rainy when we first got to the park so we were thankful for the gazebo. Joel was a trooper and bared with the chilly weather for the pictures.

THE LANE FAMILY {Newport News, VA}

One thing I will be doing differently this year is making more time for intentional friendships. Last year was all about hustle, get it done, always working, and it wasn't healthy. I am learning in this off-season how to rest and enjoy the little things.

Baby Peyton was born less than 24 hours after we did Lisa's maternity session!! It was a joy to meet this sweet girl and see her three older brothers interact with her. They each wanted a turn holding her and getting a picture kissing her.

The Golembiesky family is one of the annual family shoots I look forward to every year. I love watching these sweet kids grow up! This year Micah gave me requests of where he wanted to do his individual pictures.

Baby Skyler is the cutest!! Alyssa & Justin were both in Rachel & Shaun's bridal party last year. I love doing shoots for people I have worked with before! They found out they were pregnant a few weeks after Rachel & Shaun's wedding and now they have Skyler.

ERDMAN MATERNITY {Oregon Ridge in Hunt Valley, MD}

I have never done a maternity shoot where the mom gives birth to the baby the day after the shoot!! I couldn't believe it when I saw that baby girl Peyton was born! We were so glad we were able to get the shoot in before she entered the world.
