Two year olds are possibly the most difficult but fun age to shoot. They are constantly on the go, have strong opinions about all things and can’t really be reasoned with. This make shooting them a job that requires lots of energy and patience but it also means that when you get “the” shot, their personality really shines through! This little guy was no different. We were all over the place with this little one but in the end, we got some great shots.
It was great to meet this couple yesterday! I have to say, I am so impressed with Ms. L here. She was so committed to getting these pictures done that even though she broke her foot and hadn’t had it set yet, she still kept her appointment! The poor thing couldn’t put any weight on it and was trekking through Old Ellicott City like a champ without any complaints. I think I’d be home on the couch with some serious pain killers…but I’m a wuss when it comes to pain so no surprise there. :P
Ms. L is a history major so they fittingly chose Old Ellicott City to do their engagement photos. It’s a great historic location founded in 1772. It has the B&O railroad museum, lots of old buildings and bridges and great little nooks to take pictures in. The trick to Old Ellicott is to go during the week when it isn’t crowded with people and cars. Mr. C is a former Marine and is in school for Criminal Justice.
Good luck on your upcoming graduation and marriage! It was so great to work with you!
Disclaimer: The train tracks used for these images are not live tracks. They are a small section of reclaimed tracks that are now part of the B&O museum.
It was great working with this family this past weekend! We shot inside and outdoors by the little stream in their backyard. It was fun going over the “river” and through the “woods” to get some of these shots! Enjoy!
One thing I love about being a photographer is watching a family grow. This family has been with me from the beginning. I shot their first daughters newborn pictures and all her milestones, and then her little sisters newborn pictures and now her six month along with the family shots. These little girls always make me laugh, their personalities are so polar opposite. Big sis was serious and observant and later a crazy brave climber getting into everything. Little sis so far is giggly and social and content playing in her little space. (We’ll see if that continues) I can’t wait to see ow they interact as they grow!
This was the perfect little birthday mini. This little guys birthday party was taking place at Clark Elioak Farm in the afternoon. Mom called and scheduled a mini session (30-45 minutes of shooting) to take place right before the party at the farm. It was perfect. Little N was in a great mood, it was a great location and Mom and Dad scheduled it perfectly so that right after we finished up, they had time to set up and spend the rest of the day celebrating their beautiful boys first birthday. Mom and Dad, thanks for letting me come out to help you celebrate!
I had so much fun working with and getting to know Miss. C. She is such a natural beauty inside and out. With barely a wisp of make-up and a down to earth personality to match, she is clearly comfortable in her own skin, a trait many don’t develop till later in life. And this girl was a trooper! With all the rain we have had the bugs were out in full force! We were constantly clearly cobwebs, brushing ants aside and running from mosquitos, and this girl can run! (cross country champ) :) Thankfully Mom came to the rescue with some bug spray and we continued right along. Thank you Miss. C for letting me share a bit of your senior experience with you. I had a blast and am so excited to see where your life takes you.
This little one was so fantastic to work with. She flew threw her session, barely waking except for a quick feed. I have so many favorites from this session I had trouble picking which ones to share! I’ll have to post more later! Thanks for having me out Mom and Dad! Your little girl is beautiful!
