The Smith-McGill Families; Kid Edition!

If you take a look at my last blog post you will see that I just couldn't do one blog entry about our fun time with The Smith-McGill Families!  So here are just a few of my favorite photos of the kids!


Love this photo of the kids together.  And really there was no posing needed on my part.  They just naturally hugged each other for this shot.  Too cute!


And speaking of naturals, will you look at this great smile and dimples too!  


These kids are just too cool for me.  Is it really possible that I lucked out and got 4 kids who are all super comfortable in front of my camera and super cute?!  A photographers dream come true!


The lovely Miss Annie!  Still has her sweet smile and fun personality!


Boy have I enjoyed watching this family grow over the years.  Especially little Sammie who was just barely sitting up the first time I took his photo!


Thanks for being such super models kids!  Can't wait to chase you around the park next year!

The Smith-McGill Families; Franklin Park Conservatory

You might recognize some of these little faces!  I have been photographing the Smith Family now for 3 years!  If you look on my website you might even see some photos of little Sammie as a baby!  Naturally I was so excited when Kamara contacted me and told me we were going to add some new faces to the family portrait session this year!  So we got to shoot Grandma and Grandpa, Cousins, Aunts and of course The Smith Family!  And despite our chilly November morning at The Franklin Park Conservatory this kids (and parents!) all had amazing smiles and tons of fun....and of course we had a great time too chasing them around!  Below are some of my favorite family photos.  Stay tuned for our next blog entry with a spotlight on my favorite shots of the kids!


The adorable Smith family!  Everyone smiling and happy and looking at the camera!  Who could ask for anything more?!


The whole group together for one photo!  This will be a great picture to look back on when all the kids are grown up and they can see what a fun family they have.


And we had to get a picture of Grandma and Grandpa.  Without them these great families wouldn't even have happened!


I love this photo!  The conservatory in the background and all the vivid colors just really is a great backdrop for these awesome smiles!


And it is tradition now that we get a great shot of Kam and Brad together!  After all parents can't always be behind the camera, they need some photo time too!


Thanks so much guys!  We can't wait to see you again next year!

Kristin & Dave; October 22, 2011

There are just some days that are a photographers dream.  Perfect weather, perfect lighting and a beautiful setting all make for some of the best ingredients for a wedding day.  Kristin and Dave had all of these great elements at their wedding and we were lucky enough to get to photograph their special day.  The Elkridge Inn in Elkridge Maryland was an amazing backdrop this fun wedding!  There were so many lovely details and Kristin and Dave created a beautiful day for both their friends and family.  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from their day!


 I love this photo of Kristin!  Her smile is just so warm and inviting and this is really just a perfect candid photo that captures her personality!


Such a beautiful bride!


This photo of Dave and Kristin just really captures the joy they have for each other!


 This is my favorite photo of Dave.  He was just so relaxed and that always makes for the best photos.


This is such a sweet moment between the happy couple.  I love the look on Kristin face and can only imagine the smile that Dave is giving back to her!


Congratulations Kristin & Dave!  Many happy years to come!
