Joey has a little brother now. A mini-stages session with the Hortiz Family.

 

Jackson is the newest edition to the Hortiz family.  Joey, his older brother, is thrilled.  He even wants to share his favorite blanket with him...for now.  I met Jennifer & Joe when I photographed their then newborn Joey and we did the mini-stages, as well.  I was so glad when they called us again to document little Jackson.  Here are a few images from our first of three sessions.

 

 

tough competition!

Charlotte is all grown up. A Family Portrait Session in Baltimore.

Patricia & Andrew first brought Charlotte to our studio in 2006. We had such a great time during that session.  I've been lucky enough to watch Charlotte grow.  This most recent session was very special.  She's not a toddler anymore.  She's turning into a real little girl and it shows in her eyes and all those cute little nuances that one sees during growth.  We spent time at Baltimore's Federal Hill Park and the very cool Maryland Science Center.

Thank you for your trust in me to document this very special time in your life.

Connor's New Baby Brother. A Life Stages session at the Studio.

I've had the pure pleasure of documenting Connor for the past couple of years.  And you know how I feel about the opportunity to watch these kids grow up and mature.  It's so amazing and such a sacred time in a parent's life.  Now, Connor has a new baby brother.  Dillon is 6 weeks old and quite the skwirmer, but absolutely adorable.  I'm so excited to watch this little guy grow up, too.  Thanks so much Michele and Bob. And congratulations to this newest member of your family.

Luke, Lauren, Anna & their Parents. A Family Session at their home.

Energy.  Lots of energy.  This is the best way to describe this family.  The kids are fabulous, creative, and very lively.  The parents have endless patience and much love to spread around.  I documented the session at their beautiful home.  Here are a few images to savor.

The Odell Girls. A Mini-Session at the Studio.

Okay.  You couldn't get much cuter than with two shoeless, sweet girls dressed like little Alice in Wonderland characters.  Loved it.
