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 apologize for the long hiatus. I promise I had good reason!

We recently found out that our little family is going to grow again! That’s right, I’m excited to announce that I am pregnant with our second child! We are completely thrilled by the news and can’t wait to meet our newest little one sometime around January 31, 2010.

So because of this I have taken a little time off. I had forgotten how exhausting the first trimester can be. But, I’m back in the saddle and am resuming portrait sessions this weekend, so you can expect this blog to start hopping again.

If you are thinking holiday photos (and you should be, it’s coming up faster than you think!), my cut off for Christmas delivery is Nov 21. If you want to get custom holiday cards made (I have some super cute designs this year) you might want to get started on that a bit earlier. I will be announcing holiday mini sessions shortly, so stay tuned.

There will be some other exciting news to be announced soon, too! New digital packages are in the works for 2010, and a few other surprises are on their way.

I will be taking sessions up through December 12. After this, I will be closing for the holidays and this will transition directly into my maternity leave. I will keep you posted on how long I expect to be out (it all depends on when the little one decides to make its arrival!) I will make some exceptions for maternity and newborn clients as they are extremely time sensitive.

I am currently completely booked for August; September and October are filling up quickly….so if you are thinking about getting some beautiful portraits made, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
