Sarah & Duane's Wedding

Sarah and Duane have the kind of love that just melts your heart. I was so excited for their Sunday afternoon wedding last weekend where they married at the Mansion House at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Sarah and Duane were both calm as they arranged the finishing touches around their ceremony site. Sarah's sisters and mom helped her into her breathtaking lace gown as Duane's brother and best man and friend attempted to pin on his boutonniere!

These two had the happiest day they were smiling and hugging all throughout the day. I can't be more excited about the images we got together, because they built in a perfect amount of time to create gorgeous images of the two of them together all around the old section of the zoo.
Sarah and Duane - I can't wait to share the rest of your images with you. Good luck choosing your wall portraits - I have so many favorites I could never decide which ones I love the most!
Congratulations!!!  

Gayle & Ron's Wedding

Gayle & Ron are one of those couples - the minute you meet them, you know they have something special. Their wedding day was special - their cute glances and whispers to each other during the ceremony, the cake smashing during their reception, their twirls and bows during their first dance - all made for such an amazing day with an even more amazing couple.

I walked into the hotel room to one of the calmest brides. Gayle had everything organized and laid out for photos and packed for her big day - her personalized hot pink heels, her monogrammed tote bag, her grandmother's heirloom ring. She was the epitome of a blushing bride - she couldn't stop smiling all day!

My good friend, Alex, headed to Ron's house to capture him and his guys getting ready and capture the chaos - a house full of guys trying to figure out how to attach cuff links and tie patent leather shoes!

Their bridal party had personality and spunk that kept me on my toes all day. They were all so much fun and great sports to pose for photos around the country club and run for water to keep the bride and groom hydrated!

Gayle and Ron - thanks for starting out my wedding season with a day that I'll never forget! 

Congratulations lovebirds!!!

The Perfect Christmas Gift - Baby Callie!

Last weekend, Matt and I spent some time visiting with friend who just had the best Christmas present - a beautiful , healthy, baby girl named Callie!
Callie was so precious-especially when we put her in the Christmas stocking! And I love the images with her big blue flower headband - I think it really brings out the blue in her eyes.
I learned a lot with photographing a newborn - Even though she was not a fan of changing outfits so many times, she liked to be swaddled in the blanket and she quieted down again after just a few minutes of being in and out of different dresses for us to get some adorable images!
I hope to get the opportunity to take some more images of Callie as she grows up - she was just too much fun!
