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!

If you have a baby under one year old, check out www.onesiesdc.com for more information. A great way for you and your kids to make friends.

For Daddy | Bethesday Maryland Baby Photographer | Sneak Peak

I met Nicole during last Fall's Onesies program where I met Baby G when he was around 3 months old. It was so fun to get together again to document the next stage of his life and to see how much he has grown! These images are extra special because his Daddy is overseas right now in Afghanistan.  I'm sure he is very excited to see his gorgeous little boy in these photos, so without further adieu here is your sneak peak!

Nicole - I had a great time with you guys and I wish your husband a safe return very soon!

Simply Adorable | Bethesda Maryland Baby Photographer

Simply adorable.  That is all I can really say about baby E. who came to visit me for some baby portraits.  4.5 months old and an absolute delight.  Seriously, I loved editing these pictures because I kept smiling back at his gummy happy grin. We had a fun time singing silly songs and laughing together. L family it was awesome to finally meet you! 

I already posted this one as a sneak peak on facebook but in case you missed it there, here it is again! 

January is flying by. It's been a super busy month and I have lots of blog posts coming up so stay tuned... 

Wide Awake | Bethesda Maryland Newborn Photographer

Baby D stayed wide awake and content for pretty much our entire session. Such a stubborn little guy for a two week old! I think he wanted to be a part of the action. And, I'm so glad he did because I love the shots we got with his amazing eye contact. I can't wait to see him grow over the next year!

A and M - It was great to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Giving Back : Bethesda Maryland Photographer

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in an event that benefitted the Lourie Center and allowed me to give back to the community. The Holiday Giving Concert event at Kidville in Bethesda included a Little Maestros concert, pizza and photos with Santa. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was a successful event organized by Onesiesdc.com. Even better, the Lourie center families all received awesome holiday gifts graciously donated by the families of Onesies and Kidville.

The Lourie Center is an early head start program that provides comprehensive, year-round, child and family services to low-income families. Families are linked to community resources such as food, clothing, housing, child care, employment, English classes, health care and mental counseling. 

  

Here are a few of the pictures that I took. Everyone loved meeting Santa!

To be Two : Bethesda, MD Child Photographer

A and his parents came to the studio for some holiday portraits last weekend. Two year olds are so cute! He had such personality it was so much fun to capture his many faces on camera. Since they haven't selected the images for their holiday cards yet and I don't want to spoil the surprise, I'm only going to share two! :)

Just a reminder that one of the products I offer is custom cards. If you are interested in birth announcements, birthday party invitations, save the dates, or holiday cards using images from your session just send me an email for more information.
