Sweet 16!! | Eastern Shore Maryland Teen Photographer

This girl means the world to me and I was thrilled to be able to capture her at Sweet 16!!

Miss “L” is super smart, super fun and has a heart as big as the sun. She’s an amazing girl and I had a blast spending the evening with her. In fact, she’s one of those girls who has such a natural beauty that it makes my job just so easy.

P.S. Because I can’t narrow these down, and because she’s just the cutest…I’ve decided to break this down into two posts. More to come soon….

Enjoy “L”…you are stunning!

Just for me … | Salisbury Maryland Senior Photographer

Do you ever get an idea in your head and you can’t let go of it until you act upon it? Well, this is how this shoot came to past. I called the most beautiful girl I know and said, “Hey…I’m thinking Carnivals, Bracelets and Popcorn!” Most people would have thougth I was crazy, but she’s known me long enough to know that my ideas are usually a good time.

So here you have it….just for me…and just for fun.

2011 SENIOR!! | Salisbury Maryland Senior Photographer

About two days before this session, the proud momma of this beautiful high school senior called to see if I would like to meet up and talk photography. Well we met up, talked for three hours and were able to capture some amazing images of Miss “H”.

This high school senior is simply beautiful!! She was so paitent with her mother and I as we set up the shots and asked her to pose this way and that.

She’s a country girl through and through. She loved this location and couldn’t have been happier walking through the corn fields and posing by the tractors.

I really had a blast with you two!! Thanks so much for such a fun evening! Here are some of my favorites!!

A Day At The Beach| Eastern Shore Maryland Family Photographer

We couldn’t have asked for a better morning than this. It was beautiful!!

When Mom contacted me to schedule this session, she wanted to incorporate both family shots as well as little “E’s” three year old portraits. Little “E” couldn’t have been any better. She did exactaly what I asked and had fun exploring at the same time. I don’t ever remember hearing little “S” cry at all. He is so laid back and easy going. In fact he kept this serious look all day. I’m sure he was wondering why this crazy lady kept sticking her camera in his face.

We spent all morning exploring the shore and we even ended up getting a little wet. Well….some of us more than the others.

C & J – you have a beautiful family! Thanks so much for allowing me to have a play day with you!
