Baby Carson | Maryland Newborn Photographer

Baby Carson snuck up on everyone out of the blue and caught his First Responder parents (and this photographer) by surprise!  Luckily, we were able to squeeze him in during a random afternoon.  What is it they say about second kids being so much easier?  Baby Carson never made a peep, never moved, and cooperated with every adjustment, movement, and sound Big Sister made during the shoot.

To say that this little guy has a ton of love coming his way would be an understatement!  I even have to make sure Mrs. Zach Egolf Photography doesn't steal him when she goes to visit!

I'm looking forward to watching the family continue to grow, and to watch Baby Carson grow up to be the young man his parents hope he'll become

Baby Ryder's First Birthday/Christmas | Western Maryland Baby Photographer

This shoot seemed like it might be cursed into never happening.  Whether it be family business that cancelled the shoot, nasty 24-hour bugs, or icy-blue lips, I was definitely worried that we weren't going to get time in for Ryder's first Birthday and Christmas.  Thankfully, Ryder decided to tough out the sickness and was quite the little trooper on an early Saturday morning.  This shoot had just about everything in my bag of tricks:

1. Brand new seamless backdrop
2. Fireplace scenery
3. Balloons
4. Happy, Not sick babies!
5. Much, much more!

As always, Ryder was an absolute joy to photograph, and really reminds me why it is I do these kinds of things.  More photos following this write up.  While you're checking those out, why not like my page on Facebook and, if you're REALLY bored, follow me on twitter for more updates!

I don't need to tell you who this precious little Christmas Elf is, do I?  Seriously, how could you forget this little princess that started out adorable and just never stopped being so darn cute?  We had a lot of fun shooting for this year's Christmas card, and I hope that little Addy's parents are pleased with these photos because baby photos just don't get any cuter!

I'm not going to delay the rest of this preview.  On with the photos.

Baby Addyson | Pasadena, Maryland Baby Photographer

Fall means a few things: Football, changing leaves, cooler temperatures and pumpkins.  In just a few short months, baby Addyson​ has grown from a tiny baby that barely moves, to a smiling, laughing adorable little girl.  Her parents are very lucky to have such a fun and cute baby, and I had an absolute blast shooting this session for 6-month old Addy.  Not only did she smile for the camera and have a good time, she also cooperated when we decided to shove her in a pumpkin for the adorable photo at the top.

Thanks again, to her parents, for giving me the chance to capture these precious moments!​

Baby Jackson | Arbutus, MD Newborn Baby Photography

Cute doesn't begin to describe little Jackson, who I had the privilege of capturing earlier this month.  Despite a small hitch where we learned that babies do not like being placed into football helmets (or maybe just Ravens helmets?) the shoot was a lot of fun and it was a real joy being a part of this new family.  Jackson is going to be quite the handful for Mom and Dad and I wish them the best of luck!  Want to see some more?  Keep scrolling!

Baby Makenna | West Friendship, MD Newborn Photographer

Boy did we ever have a lively one at this shoot!  Never before have I seen a baby as young (and as my wife would say "So little!") as Makenna be so active and wide-awake.  Makenna knew where the camera was at all times and made sure to never take her eye off of it!  This precious little gal was a lot of fun to photograph, and I'm really happy with the way the shoot turned out.  I was a bit worried about the weather, because Makenna's mom had wanted to get a few shots outside, and it had been raining all day.  We lucked out, however, and were able to grab a little bit of sunlight to snag a few shots outside.  Click on "Click to read more..." for a small preview of the shoot!
