Photograph of the Day 16/365 Junior Prom | Middletown MD Senior Portraits

I hope these two had fun over at junior prom last night in Middletown MD!  I got to take a few photographs (in the thankfully light rain) before they headed off.  

Spring Ducklings! Frederick Maryland Photography

The weather is always so confusing here in Frederick, Maryland during the spring, one moment we have a few inches of snow on the ground, the next moment the temperature is in the 70's.  Maryland gives me great variety for photography, but leaves my head spinning sometimes.  My farm is located at the base of the Catoctin mountains, so at certain times I can see snow on the mountains whilst I'm outside in my fields in shorts and a t-shirt.  Each year we get baby chicks and ducklings, we keep them at my Frederick MD farm to mature so we can get eggs, and of course I photograph them with my children, who simply adore the baby animals.   

Top 10 Images from a Senior Portrait Session | Frederick MD Senior Portrait Photographer

I took these beautiful senior portraits of Julia in the fall.  I love photographing senior portraits, it's one reason that I chose to specialist in senior portrait photography and fine art child photography, if you do what you love, it's never a chore.  We started taking these photographs in the forests located around Frederick MD, and worked our way back to my farm.   That's one thing that I love about Frederick county MD is the variety offered in landscape, and we don't have to go far for a different backdrop.    Julia rocked her senior portraits, and these are my top ten favorite images from this photography session. 

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!      

Top 10 Fall Photographs { Frederick MD Child Photographer }

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.
