The blog has been quiet, I apologize. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a great start to the new year.

I have officially started my maternity leave. I will be back and booking sessions at the end of March/beginning of April, which means I will be opening my calender to reserve session times at the end of February. Our little one is set to arrive any day now and we are thrilled!

And because I can’t post without a photo, here is a shot of my excited 2 year old during the big storm last month. (This was taken before it got so high that she couldn’t walk in it! We ended up with around 2 feet of snow when all was said and done)

I spent a great Sunday morning hanging out with this beautiful little girl in downtown Baltimore. Isn’t she just gorgeous? We started out at a sculpture garden and finished up eating ice cream and chasing pigeons in Fell’s Point.

Thanks so much for spending the morning with me (and for the delicious Chocolate Malt, my ultimate weakness!)

I had the pleasure of working with two very handsome boys yesterday!

Little brother was very curious about the world around him, and big brother was full of spirit. Everyone braved the heat to play in the grass and flowers for the morning.

I couldn’t have asked for better weather for the Dress Up Dreams mini sessions. Not too hot, not to cold, blue skies and sunshine.

Here are 2 each from my 2 favorite girls!

This little princess was SO serious and shy! I absolutely love her curls.

…but we eventually coaxed some smiles out of her!

another beautiful curly-haired baby

She was all smiles pretty much the whole time, especially whenever her Daddy was talking.

Thank you so much for coming out to see me! I had a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to edit the rest of the images.

Look at how adorable she is! I just love her bright smile.

Ok, so it’s not Mother’s Day yet, but this past weekend I celebrated it early with some AWESOME moms who came to take part in the Mother’s Day mini sessions!

I’m just sharing two… I learned my lesson from sharing my favorites from Janie and Jack… let’s not overload!

This little cutie looks JUST like her mom! I did her Christmas photos when she was a tiny thing… I can’t believe how much she’s grown!

The last time I saw this handsome guy, he did not feel like smiling at me. Not today– he was full of smiles!

I just LOVE it when people are up for something non-traditional.

Ok, I am making myself stop here. If I let myself continue, I’ll be here all night!

This mom was positively glowing! She’s got #2 on the way and I must say that I wish I looked this good when I was that pregnant. I can’t wait to meet their little guy when he makes his arrival.

A sweet moment with the Big Sister.

I love little toes… I swear they are my weakness.

What do you do on a beautiful day? Run outside and play!

I can’t help myself… I can’t go out without my camera. Kaylee was REALLY enjoying playing with her Daddy today.

At long last, here are the last images from the Janie and Jack sessions at the Towsontown Mall. I can’t say enough times what a wonderful experience it was. I met so many wonderful families, and had the pleasure of photographing so many cute babies! I really wish I could share everyone’s image with you, but as you can see, this has taken me 5 blog postings to get this far!

I still have a few more to share… probably this post and one other. You’d think I was sharing everyone, but that would take probably another week of posting if I posted every day!

Many of these images I loved so much that they can now be seen on my website. Such beautiful children!

I know, I know, enough with the talking. On to the images!
