Kristie + Jon :: Southern Maryland Engagement Photographer

It always makes me so nervous photographing another photographer, but it’s also such a compliment. I’ve known Kristie for a while now and I was thrilled when she asked if I could photograph her engagement. It was a gorgeous day by the river in southern Maryland! Kristie and Jon we so fun to photograph.

I had the opportunity to photograph this squishy little bear. At just 7 days old, he was an absolute dream to photograph! My favorite part? The little bear hat..swoon! More photos to come…this is only part 1!

virginia family photographer | A Family

I’m really behind on posting some past sessions! I had the pleasure of photographing this cute little family and it was so much fun! My favorite is shooting outdoors for family portraits. I love the natural setting and they made it so easy.

Oh goodness…THOSE CURLS! And what a handsome guy!

Sadie | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

Well this is something you don’t see very often. Normally I’m shooting in natural light and outdoors preferably. Winter time gets cold and no one wants to hang out in the cold taking photos, so I gathered what I needed for a little studio set up indoors. So here’s my attempt at baby photography indoors in a studio setting. I think I surprised myself. This is 8 month old Sadie. Oh man, she’s ADORABLE.

Virginia family photographer | Big Brother and Baby Sister

Julie — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:36:48 +0000

It’s always about this time from Oct-Dec it gets a little nuts around here. Because of the holidays everyone is looking for family photos to hand out Christmas cards. So there’s going to be some awesome families and little ones on the blog soon. It was a cloudy day in Northern Virginia but we still seemed to get some great images even with the days being shorter. I just wanted to share a couple of Big Brother with Baby Sister…more to come!

Virginia family and children’s photographer | Melissa, Sass, and Sprout

Julie — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:12:41 +0000

Cute nicknames, eh? Love it. It was about fall time and Melissa was in need to get some family photos of her and the girls. It was a beautiful day at Occoquan Park in Woodbridge, VA so we ventured out to photograph her little family. I’m not gonna lie, Sass and Sprout showed me what it was like to work hard, but I was very pleased at what I captured for Melissa and am proud that I was able to freeze this moment in time for her. You girls are beautiful!!

Thank you Melissa for letting my share your images.

Virginia Photographer | Rhema

Julie — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 04:15:06 +0000

Sometimes I get an itch and I gotta get out and photograph something. Rhema loves to model and I got together with makeup artist and photographer Kayla Midkiff. We took a drive out to southern Maryland and had our own portrait modeling session there. The weather was awesome, Rhema looked fantastic and we had a blast. Rhema also brought along her friend who I will be posting about later. But first I wanted to share my favorites from Rhema’s portrait session.

If you’re looking to do a portrait session Makeup is available!

Lindsie and Braddock

Julie — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 03:06:27 +0000

It was one of the coldest days we’ve had in Virginia, but I was determined to get Lindsie and Braddock out for a mini photo session. We took a drive to Occoquan Park and braved the cold weather. Needless to say Braddock was more concerned with what was going on around him rather than paying attention to the crazy lady with the camera. However, that wasn’t anything a couple treats and a squeaky toy couldn’t fix. My favorite thing the most about this mini session is the solid bond between them.

Expecting Baby Henry | southern maryland maternity photographer

Julie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:31:12 +0000

You might remember Christina from last year on the blog. Well this year, she and her family are expecting! So we got together at a local farm for a fall maternity session. We met at Bowles Farm in southern Maryland and opted for a pumpkin patch maternity session. We had such a great time and I really love the corn and pumpkin theme.

Stephanie | Maryland Portrait Photographer

Julie — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:04:12 +0000

It was calling for rain and clouds again and after many reschedules, Stephanie and I decided to bite the bullet and just meet up to do some portraits. Stephanie is an aspiring model so we got together to do some outdoor portraits for her portfolio. As I was driving along to meet up with her I passed by this location that I pass all the time when I’m on my way to southern maryland to visit family and BAM! this is where I wanted to photograph her! How did I not see this place? A quick change of plans and we captured some great images here! I love it when their up for exploring and getting a little dirty!
