A Newborn Session with David Michael DeVito Jr.

Yay.  I'm so glad to be blogging again. It's been a little while. The little elves in our studio have been very busy placing orders for the Holidays. Can you beiieve it's Christmas so soon?

Meet David jr.!  Big, huge, lovely eyes like his beautiful mother, Kara.  Look how fabulous she looked during our pregancy session.

I went on location for their newborn session, which i love to do and highly recommend.  I love the aura of a home with a new life in it. There is definitely a warm-fuzzy feeling that surrounds you.  Is there such thing as calm chaos?  Because, that's what it feels like.  All is right in the world with new baby and, oh, gosh, no I don't have time to do mundane chores and I'm still trying to figure out how to unfold the stroller to put in the car and buckle baby in.  It's amazing, because in 2 months time, you'll be doing everything with one hand.

Thank you so much David & Kara for allowing me to document something so precious.  xoxoxoxoxo

I love the little smirk on his face.  Must be having a happy little dream.

I love toes!!!!

Just waking up to photographer.  Hello little person.

I love how little David is connecting with daddy.

Quiet moment with mom.

I LOVE this family photo with Max (the dog), who was making certain to protect baby from person with camera.

The two Davids.

Dreamy...

Meet Max...I mean Ethan. A Newborn Session.

Max!

So, I made this image I was so excited about when Linda was pregnant.  They knew they were having a boy and named him Max.  They were pretty sure because they bought the letters for his room.  I wanted to use them in an image and it turned out great!  I was imagining it hanging on the wall in his little room. 

A few weeks later I hear from a dear friend and client of mine that they changed his name to Ethan after he was born.  And so my fabulous Max picture is just a memory. 

Here's Ethan.  Beautiful and sweet.

Sarah & Keith. A Post Wedding Session at Patapsco State Park.

Sarah & Keith had an amazing wedding.  Not because they swanked it out, but because every step of the way they made certain it was a little piece of them to share with family & friends.  And it worked.   For our post-wedding session they chose to go near the place where Keith first proposed to Sarah.  Patapsco State Park is a favorite hiking place for them.  So, we went there to document their session.  The day was beautiful.  Warm Fall weather, which is a little odd.  But, I'm not complaining.  Clearly, these two are very much in love.  Thanks Keith & Sarah!

Evan. Almost Walking!

Evan & his family are doing one of our Life Stages sessions.  This was Stage 5 of the 6 session package.  So, I've seen this little person grow since he was in the belly.  The change is amazing. This was Evan as a newborn. For this session Cassidy & I met at Cromwell Valley Park, a favorite place of mine, to let Evan see a few new sights and sounds and to see what happens.  He thoroughly enjoyed the leaves, the grass, the shadows, doing his little crab crawl and mommy!

Here are a few of my favorites.

I want that leaf!

Evan's crab crawl is so cute.  So innovative.

A little shadow chasing.

He's so close to walking!

Yummy light.

I just love his little tongue.  So cute.

Camryn & Liam's Portrait Session at their House.

Norman & Tracey have beautiful children and I'm so grateful to have photographed them again for the third time.  The first time we did a session we had just moved into our current studio and it was frigid cold out and there was no heat.  We had so much fun!  This time around I went to them to document their family life at their gorgeous home.  It was a perfect day and the kids had a blast. By the end of the session they had turned into a princess & spiderman.  Darn, I wish I had had my costume.

I LOVE this image of Camryn.

A little quiet moment with Norman & Tracey.

Spiderman rocks.

Those eyes.  Watch out mom & dad.

I love this moment between Norman & Camryn.  She runs out to the corner everyday to see her daddy off to work.

A sweet moment between Liam & mom.

Connor & Dillon. A Fall Portrait Session at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

I love this family and I love documenting Dillon & Connor.  Everytime I see them, it's like meeting them for the first time.  They change so much in such a short period of time.  It's a amazing. 

We held the session on a soggy morning at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which has beautiful grounds and the building is stunning.

Thanks Michele and Bob!
