Downtown Frederick MD | Maryland Photographer

Late last summer, I took my daughter's photographs in downtown Frederick Maryland. There is so much to see and do down there, the downtown area is really thriving and listed as one of the top ten downtown areas in the country. We settled on outside the Weinberg as the location and took a few portraits of my daughter and our new puppy. We then walked over to Brewer's Alley, just across the road on Market Street and grabbed something to eat afterwards. I love that they have seating for dogs on the terrace.

Snowy Day in March { Washington DC Photographer }

For the past week, Washington DC has had a teaser of spring. That was all it was, as this morning the DC metropolitan area was blanketed by a cover of white snow. Somehow, I managed to get my daughter up in time to photograph her portrait on my farm in Frederick, Maryland. Nine times out of ten my photographs are bombed by an animal of some description and this time was no exception. All the unexpected snow here in Maryland led my cat to run over to us from his house and lean up against my daughter in her portrait. She loves her cats, so leant over to fuss him and I managed to get the perfect portrait of my child and her cat together!

I get asked a lot what my favourite photographs are. I have to say that I have a hard time choosing, as I do photograph them a lot - with so many beautiful locations around Frederick, MD it's hard not to pick my camera up and grab a few photographs wherever we go. I will say that my favourite photographs change with the season and right now the greens are gone and my fall photographs are my favourites.
