Mike+Kristen+Cole | Holiday and Birthday Photography :: Belair, Maryland

I was so happy to hear from Kristen again when she contacted me to photograph her family for the holidays. Her son may look familiar to those who have seen my past work. He is the boy with the really blue eyes…I was also surprised to hear that it would be a birthday shoot also because Cole’s birthday is on Christmas eve.

This was a particularly fun shoot for me cause we were bribing Cole with fruit snacks… 4 packs later…he couldn’t stop jumping on the bed…(note to self, limit fruit snack bribes to 2 packs)

I asked Kristen to think of  outdoor spaces she would like to have photographs taken. She took me to a place call Jerusalem Mills in Kingsville, Maryland. Talk about prime location… I counted 3 other photographers not including myself trying to find a place to shoot… There is a possibility that I’m in the background in someone’s Christmas card this year…

Kristen and Mike, I had such a great time with you guys! I hope you guys enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them. Happy Holidays!

Nicole + Lily | Family Photography Abingdon, Maryland

In the last year I have met a lot of babies, but Lily was one of the most easy going babies that I have  had the privilege to photograph. Even after 3 outfit changes, she didn’t mind getting positioned or having a camera clicking away in front of her. I met Nicole and Lily through her sister Kristen. They were disappointed with portraits that were done at a department store so I offered my services to redo them. When I found out Nicole was a nurse, I knew I would get along with her very well, since my wife and many of my close friends are also nurses. I had a wonderful time photographing both of you. Enjoy!

Kristen + Cole | Family Photography Abingdon, Maryland

I’ve known Kristen for many years but unfortunately we lost contact for some time. I was happy to reconnect with her on Facebook and to discover that she had a beautiful family. As I had recently started turning my love of photography into a career, many people did not know that I was a photographer. One day I was perusing the most recent updates when I found Kristen and her sister Nicole, a new mother, had taken portraits at a local department store and Kristen commented on how disappointed she was of her portraits. Seeing an opportunity to photograph a photogenic family I leaped into action offering my services to redo the portraits for them. These are some of the moments I captured. Enjoy the photos Kristen, it was a pleasure to finally meet and photograph your beautiful family.
