pinch me! eeeek!

These girls are unbelievably beautiful and very, no strike that, extraordinarily cooperative for the ages of 2 and 3.

Sunday was filled with several shoots. On this particular one I discovered my new favorite location ;) and fell head over heals for these two little pixies. Miss C and Miss L thank you. I can't wait to get through the rest of these images to see what magic unfolds.

Twins!

Playing catch up right now on edits, but just had to post a few images from a session I did with twin newborn girls. These two little ladies just made me melt. They are both so adorable and so unique from one another in looks an personality. I can't wait to get through the rest of the images, but these stood out from the bunch.

Enjoy the preview mom and dad. I'll have your gallery up in a few days.

Adore

I adore these three little ones for more than one reason, but the one that is most obvious to me as I edit through these images is without a doubt, like no other children I have photographed, these three beautiful kids make me think outside of my creative box.

Conformity is not their thing when we work together, and I love that about them. It's incredible how they all look so much alike, but how different their personalities are. Their happy, beautiful, well behaved and spirited little people who I am so grateful to know. Thank you J, K and M for welcoming me into your Saturday morning, for taking me on another little adventure. Can't wait to play again soon.

Enjoy the preview.

Little Lady :: Annapolis baby photographer

This sweet little baby was such a joy for me to photograph at her 1-year session. She has many adorable expressions and enjoys holding her interest on leaves, flowers and grass. Big brother H even let me take a few pictures of him though I think he enjoyed laughing at me more than smiling for me :) Both sweet little ones with a wonderful mama. They reminded me of just how blessed I am to be doing what I do.

Thank you guys! Enjoy the preview.

Fondly, Liz

A Morning in Annapolis :: Annapolis Children's Photographer

Two friends of mine let me photograph them. We walked the streets of historic Annapolis together, finding clues, coming upon secret gardens and even waking a resident pup or two. Miss A & Mr. J, as always my dear friends, it was my pleasure to photograph you both. They get bigger and smarter every year, but those sweet smiles never change.

Enjoy the preview.

Much love, Liz

Little Miss || Annapolis Children's Photographer

This sweet little Miss ... what can I say? She's just brilliant. Miss P and her parents were in for a quick weekend trip to Annapolis. I was able to catch her darling little smile and a few more expressions that my camera fell in love with. Miss P was resilient through the session as we began with a little tumble and a bump on the head. She rose to the occasion and look at all these beautiful images she gave me.

Thank you Mom and Dad for giving me the opportunity to photograph your little miss.

Putting the word out

In the past few weeks, I have been caught up in a bit of a personal career crisis.... My life as a photographer is ideal. I am right where so many professionals dream of being with a strong client base, a flexible schedule and income.

All of which is the product of lots of hard work, many nights up well past midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m, and up to rise early with my babes. Or getting four hours of work done during the baby's two hour nap. And even sitting down for 15 minutes during snack time, a moment when my little ones stop bouncing, buzzing, moving, to knock out a couple edits, blog a clients preview or put together a print order.

I love what I do!

So why change? I guess it has something to do with career progression, the dream, the goal. At the end of the day, besides wanting my children to grow into healthy, well-balanced, kind human beings, I still dream HUGE. I guess that's the hopeless artist in me shining though. Life is far too short to not be fired up about what I do on a daily basis.

What I'm saying is that even though I am totally in love and incredibly passionate about what I do right now, there's still so much more I want to achieve. So in order to keep up with my own demands, I am working on a few changes. First and foremost is my blog. I have two blogs right now and as many of you have noticed, the blog has taken a back seat, not as many posts, less photos, less writing when I do post. Juggling two blogs is more work than necessary, so I'll be combining my work and personal blogs and revamping the look and content a bit.

The other major thing I am focusing my energy on is commercial photography work. I have been working with a very talented artist, jewelry designer Laura Moore. Hope to share some of her work with you today. Laura has opened my eyes to how amazing it is to work with other small business owners. Seriously awesome stuff.

So as my readers, I'm reaching out to you, putting the word out, to see if you know of any small business owners, artists, musicians etc, who may be interested in my services. I am looking to photograph just about anything or anyone!

As for my my beloved clients, YES! I am still in business and getting busier with fall around the corner. So, I will be posting a few promotions within the next day or so for returning faces and for fresh, new faces. Keep your eyes out for that.

Will post a little more later. For now, snack time is over...

Sweet baby C

Look at that love... this little boy and his parents were such a dream to work with. Baby C kept it cool and his mom and dad were so relaxed. He felt right at home in a basket, even a football helmet, but just melted to butter when in his mama's arms. So very precious.

Thank you for inviting me into your home. I can't wait to share the rest of the images with you guys.

It's been a while

Like... ahem, six months!? I've been busy, with work and my little ones. Enjoying many adventures each day. The time has come though to start blogging again. I thought a good start would be where I left off. Baby O... he's six months now!

When I arrived at baby O's house, he took one look at me and grinned, as if to say, "I know what you're here for lady and I plan to make your heart melt all over again." And boy did he ever. Just look at these, the first three pictures in the lineup for edits, one two, three. Before editing any more I decided it was necessary to post a preview for mom and dad. Mom's out of town this week for work and I hope this will bring a little piece of love from home to her.

Thank you mom and dad for inviting me back into your home for yet another spectacular session. I knew he was beautiful when we first met, now he has charm and that smile and those eyes, my oh my those eyes... I can't wait until O turns 1!

Thank you baby O

What a glorious day it turned out to be. Baby O is not only so, incredibly handsome, baby O knows just how to pose, how to fold and melt right into my lens. He made my day, my week and my breath is just taken away as I edit these images. Cheers to his beautiful mom and dad. What and exceptional job you both have done.
