Location Portfolio

Outdoor location shoots are scheduled from May to October. Combination studio/backyard shoots are always an option as long as the weather is nice. This option can be just what is needed for an energetic 2 year old or to add variety to your shoot. I regularly schedule shoots at the lake. Occasionally I will schedule shoots at the beach in Ocean City, MD. I will also meet you at your home or favorite location. There is no charge within 20 miles of the studio. A $3.00 charge per mile is added for every mile over 20 miles according to mapquest.

These images were shot in downtown Frederick near the canal and Baker Park

So these two shots are not really Baby Face material, but they were taken in downtown Frederick and I love them.

The next series of images were shot right in my back yard. This is a great option if you are looking for some studio shots as well as outdoor.

I started shooting at the Monocacy Battlefield in the Summer of 2010. Every time I go I find another great spot to shoot in. The next few images were taken there.

I love the beach! I like to get there a few times each summer. I stay with friends and either shoot in Rehoboth Beach, Fenwick Island, and occasionally DeweyBeach. I always shoot around 6:30 in the evening. I am willing to do a 7:00 am session as well but I never get any takers on that one (with the exception of my sister) It’s tough to get in for a beach shoot and the wind and weather can be a deal breaker. When everything is going my way, we get some fantastic results.

You are free to choose your own location as well. I love going to new places! If you want me to do a session in your home, I am happy to accommodate you. Please pick a time of day when the rooms you want to shoot in are filled with natural light. Dark homes will require a flash and I prefer the softer natural light unless we are in my studio.

below is a great example of a home filled with natural light. Mom was reading to her daughter in front of a window

the next few images were captured on location in Lake Linganore. I know a secret spot.

Family Portfolio

The people in your family are the people you are most comfortable with. Your family portrait should reflect that. You know and love everything about each other. As the kids grow up, the relationship changes. Your son goes from wanting to marry mommy to not wanting her to kiss him in front of his friends. Your daughter, who always thought daddy was so funny, is now embarrassed by him. Delight in the natural progression of it all. It comes full circle. My Dad is hilarious once again. Plan to sit in for a few shots with your children and allow me to capture the dynamics, interaction and bond that your family shares. The best pictures are not necessarily those in which everyone is looking at the camera and smiling, but those that capture the personality and spirit of the subjects and their relationship to each other.

Teen (Sr. Pictures) Portfolio

Celebrate everything your child has achieved and the beautiful person they have become with one last photo session before they graduate. Allow me to capture that winning personality they have developed that has gotten them where they are and will take them so much farther. Schedule a shoot with a group of friends who will be going away to different colleges soon. Confirmation, modeling portfolio, prom or a sweet sixteen birthday, whatever the occasion, your teenagers will be comfortable with my laid back approach to the shoot. Together your teen and I will find their best angles by checking the images as we go. Teens tend to appreciate my direction and ideas. I have even been known to lend things from my own wardrobe for the shoot.

Big Kid Portfolio

Big kids are cool! They are smart and fun and strong. Sometimes big kids don’t like to be photographed. I know the feeling. Sometimes when they try to smile it looks fake. Me too! The only way around this is serious fun. I have a few corny jokes…but they are never as good as when the kids tell me a joke. Kid’s jokes are hilarious! So if you don’t know any, look some up online before you come. If making me laugh doesn’t get them smiling I have a few other ideas, but since it doesn’t require homework I’ll keep them a surprise

Feel free to bring big kid stuff with you. Sports equipment or uniforms, musical instruments, well- behaved pets, the baseball cap that he wears all the time, you know, stuff like that.

Toddler Portfolio

Toddlers are very energetic and funny little people. Just like everybody else they like to know what’s going on. I encourage you to talk to your toddler about what will be happening on the day of the shoot. Be sure to tell your toddler that you will be going to Ms. Amy’s house to take pictures, and that it will be fun. If you plan to do a clothing change, let them know about that too. Even if they are not able to communicate thoughts effectively yet, they do understand them. Toddler shoots are full of praise and singing and praise and giggles and praise and dancing and more praise. This age group thrives on your positive attention. As your toddler grows so does his personality. I thoroughly enjoy discovering all the traits that make your toddler an individual, as I instigate reactions and capture the spirit of your toddler. Feel free to bring a favorite book, blanket, or toy.

Most toddlers are at their best in the morning after a good night’s sleep and with a full belly. Please plan on scheduling your toddler’s shoot during their best time of day
