Right before this year’s first mid-Atlantic cold snap I met the Gavaris Family and had super fun photoshoot with the whole gang. The one word that comes to mind when I think of them – energy! They took me all over their home and never failed to stop smiling. Their little girls are gorgeous… can’t wait to see them grow up!

Liam’s got my heart on a string. Brave and curious, he was torn between wondering who the heck I was to ignoring me completely to explore the farm. His mom helped me entertain him in front of the camera for hours and even grandma jumped in to dote on her sweet little boy.
Moody and expressive, Liam is a child photographer’s dream. And as coincidence would have it, he was born right around the time I met my significant other, so I’ve dubbed him an anniversary baby whether he likes it or not. Can’t wait to take my next trip out to western Maryland to watch him grow up!


Sweet little Kira welcomed me with an inquisitive smile when I visited her and her family on a quiet, early Saturday morning.
When it comes to kindness, her mother is queen, and you can tell – even at only 4 months – that Kira’s going to be a lot like her. She spent a bit of our shoot eating her Christening dress and the the rest giving me perplexed looks and mischievous, infectious grins at her momma. When she laughs, watch it… you will too! Before we wore her out to the point of passing out on the couch we made some superb baby portraits for her family to coo over for years to come.
