New Born Photography in Maryland

 

I recently got the best opportunity EVER to photograph this adorable baby boy of our close friends nicknamed JET! Newborn photography is definitely a new favorite. I remember bringing home Sanai and now she is so big, I can’t help but wanna see the new babies now because they change so fast!

For baby Jet’s session, I used a baby bed, a basket, and a large bean bag. I used gray and white as my theme colors. The hardest part was waiting for him to fall asleep because babies call the shots. In between naps I played with sets and lighting and made a lot of adjustments. The pictures turned out adorable and I was able to create a cute book out of them.

What truly made this session special is that this baby is the newest member of our close friend group. I am so happy I get to be here for his welcome into the world and look forward to watching him grow! New life is special and I am so happy to be a part of the celebration of Baby Jet!

 

Finding the Joy

Welcome to my blog. I talk about choosing joy, to me, that means believing God is good and there is hope in the face of difficulty. I also talk about my goals and challenges. I believe in perseverance, grit, dreaming big, and choosing to challenge yourself to be better than yesterday.

If you haven’t been to a couple of Luau you need to go! Celebrating the future Mr. & Mrs. Hollingshead with this unique twist on a bridal shower! Here are some reasons why I love the idea and pics to prove it!

 

 

First I love that at a couple Luau both families are invited, kids and all! Everyone gets to have fun together like a pre-party to the wedding. I know on my wedding day I didn’t get to really hang out with family. A Luau allows you to spend quality time before the wedding. There’s less pressure, everyone can relax and talk with the couple without worrying about their first dance or bouquet toss!

 

 

The other reason I think a couple Luau is great is that you get more excited about the wedding day! Sometimes planning can be stressful, having a get-together just to laugh eat snow cones and dance to music is just fun! Did I mention everyone came dressed on theme! So cute! 

 


 

Finally, I loved the Luau because Patrick and Hope got to celebrate together! 

It was so great to see everyone come together, rain, and all for a good time celebrating Hope and Patrick! Check out more pics below and let me know if you have a couple Luau!
