S Family Reunion

I had the pleasure of photographing the S Family.  They all gathered together in Annapolis to reunite and celebrate their mother's 80th Birthday.  They were all so sweet and are such a tight knit family.  It was so wonderful to see such joy! Here are a few photos from their session.

Brian + Hillary's Mini-Wedding

I normally do only a few weddings a year and they are almost always small or just the bride and groom.  I like to call these types of weddings "mini weddings." I love photographing mini weddings, especially when it's just the bride and groom.  It makes for much more intimate and candid wedding photos.  Brian is in the military and was originally supposed to be stationed on the East Coast. Hillary found a great job in Maryland.  They got engaged, but unfortunately Brian's plans changed and he is now stationed in Europe.  Brian and Hillary decided that they wanted to elope while he was on leave so that she can join him in Europe.  They were such a sweet couple and so much fun to photograph.  I could tell that they are so in love and the best of friends.  We had a great time walking around downtown Annapolis.  I can't wait for the next mini wedding!

 There were lots of random Adirondack chairs throughout downtown.

 A beautiful day at City Dock.

 One of the reasons I love photographing in downtown is that there are so many unique spots for romantic portraits, like this back alley on a side street.

  Beautiful Hillary!

Prom 2012

Prom season is always a blast and this year was no different.  I was lucky enough to photograph two couples from Archbishop Spalding High School.  I love working with high school students.  They always have so much energy and are such naturals in front of the camera.  Here are a few images from that session.

Taylor's Family

Back in April I did a Naval Academy graduation photo shoot with Taylor.  In May his family came to Annapolis for the graduation.  While they were here they wanted to do a mini-session with Taylor.  His parents, brother, sister, girlfriend, grandparents, and uncle all came out for a fun filled photos session. They were all so friendly and were having a great time teasing Taylor.  You can tell that they are all so proud of him.  Before they all came out to Annapolis I was able to speak to his grandmother on the phone.  She and her husband are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year and wanted a few photos together.  I had the pleasure of photographing the two of them.  They are so adorable and you can tell that they are still in love with each other.  Here are a few photographs from their session.

The happy couple!
