December Calendar is up (Maryland Portraits)

The new schedule for December is up! You can find it here. I’ve re-designed my calendar to make it more user-friendly, and have included weekdays as well. Please note that evening studio sessions are available on a limited basis, so please contact me if that is your preference.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

New life (Newborn photographer)

I was thrilled to meet 6 day old baby D after doing a family/maternity session with his Mommy, Daddy and Big Brother in October. This is just the sweetest family and I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with them. Since I hardly ever go on location jobs, this was a rare treat for me as well. Thanks for welcoming me into you home to share this special time in your lives!

A Special Child (Special Needs Photography)

As the mother of a handicapped child, I spend a lot of time thinking about children with special needs and all the challenges we, as parents, must face. My son recently came home with yet another bad school picture, which I immediately sliced up and mailed back to the photographer. Don’t ask me why I keep paying for these photos I know I will just return…I guess I keep hoping one day I’ll get a good one. No disrespect to the local school photographers, but rarely have I been pleased with a school photo of my son. It takes patience and understanding to take photos of children with special needs. The “get ‘em in quickly and out the door” approach just doesn’t work with a child who has 20/2500 vision and a cochlear implant. Sorry.

Out of my own frustrations with school portraits and my understanding of these amazing children, I will be partnering with Special Kids Photography of America to sponsor a Special Kids Photography Month and encourage anyone with a special child to come by. More details to follow in the coming weeks. Both the property and my studio are handicap accessible so I should be able to accommodate everyone.
