Smile | Baltimore Maryland Newborn Photographer

This 6lb beautiful baby girl was a pleasure to photograph. She gave me a mix of awake and sweet sleepiness. Such a beautiful family and such good friends of mine! I have been anxiously awaiting her arrival and I'm glad I took the trip to Baltimore to meet her.

 I love her little smile!

"How to Eataly"

New York City is one of my favorite cities. Ok, I'm not going to lie, it is my favorite city. Since I used to live there I try to go up as much as I can to visit with friends, try new restaurants, and shop. This trip I was very much looking forward to checking out the brand new, largest artisanal Italian food and wine marketplace in the world by Mario Batali, Eataly. What a wonderful place! Despite the crowds, it was a fun experience exploring the variety of markets, cafes, and restaurants each representing the best of Italian food. We managed to get a seat at one of the counters to try a quick sampling. I highly recommend putting Eataly on your to do list if you are planning a visit to New York... and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the food and wine!

Onesies Maryland

I had a fun time being part of the Maryland Winter Onesies program earlier this month.  Robyn does such a great job organizing this group by planning fun and educational activities for moms and their babies. Here are just a few of the cute kids I got to hang out with during our mini-photo sessions. It was great meeting everyone!
