Zoë & Dom

Client Spotlight

Zoë had a special idea in mind for her second anniversary. She wanted to plan a special session in a Sunflower field. I was excited because I had not done a field session before! Usually, I work in parks with trees and hills. Sunflower season is typically in the summer so I was bummed out at first because a lot of farms were closing. I was so excited to find Magnolia Meadows Farms in Thurmont, Maryland. I headed out and was hyped at first because it had been a stormy week but this day was sunny and beautiful. It was the most refreshing drive for me. I was drinking in the mountains, the leaves, and the countryside.

 

Zoë and Dom were such a sweet couple they were willing to walk through the wet grass and bugs to make some great photos! We got the field to ourselves for two hours. This session was beautiful, vibrant and colorful, and worth the drive! I loved the humor that these two had. They were laid back and adventurous walking through the sunflowers, and wildflowers and climbing on tractors. We finished our session in the sunset with some poses against a wood fence. If you have a dream for a session please don’t feel limited by location or what you think is possible! Let me know so I can collaborate to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Zoë and Dom you were amazing and I hope you love your images!

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!
