Welcome to my blog!

Hi. My name is Amy Masser. I am the mother of two really great kids. I opened Baby Face Photography in 1997 when they were one and three. What was I thinking? Actually I know exactly what I was thinking. I couldn't find a reasonably priced creative photographer in the area that specialized in children. So I started taking my own creative pictures. When my friends saw the pictures they asked me to take some shots of their children. Pretty soon strangers were calling for pictures. I took a few classes to learn the basics of studio photography and Baby Face Photography was born. I have filled my studio with child sized props and wardrobe. Many of which are original pieces I designed and created myself. BFP caters to young families. I understand that sometimes it takes a lot of patience to get the perfect shot and I have that covered.

I think what sets me apart from other photographers is my personality. You can see it in my children as well. We are a perfect mixture of goofball and rockstar. My sister says I relate so well to children because I refuse to grow up myself. Couple that with my ability to appreciate the moment at hand and you end up with some really great images. Just because the shoot isn't going as planned, doesn't mean I am not taking pictures. Sometimes a great pout can be the perfect shot. I love to read people and engage them. I try to open them up and bring them out. I do this even when I am not behind the lens. I love to get a reaction. I entertain myself by giving the perfect compliment to a complete stranger and watching their body language change. I am always looking for the most beautiful angle or expression on every face I see. Children are by far my favorite subjects. I think it's their honesty that is so beautiful to me. A close second would be a parent holding their child. That is the picture of true love.

I absolutely love my job. Thank you to all the parents who continue to bring their beautiful families to me. Watching your little ones grow has been a constant joy. I also want to thank you for continuing to send your friends and family for pictures allowing me to continue to do what I love. See you soon.

Prom Pictures and New Counter Tops

I am a firm believer in Karma. I have lived next store to this beautiful girl for 13 years. Our families are very good friends and always there for each other. I have taken hundreds of pictures of their family. I have seen all of the Proms, First Communions, Confirmations, family reunions, Christmas’s, you name it. I wouldn’t dream of taking a penny. They do so much for me and mine. It’s just what friends do. Well guess what my friends are doing! They just started a new company that refinishes counter tops and makes them look like granite. I don’t have granite in my kitchen because the estimate was $7000.00. The estimate to refinish my counter tops was $1000.00. My price? Free! So First I will show you beautiful Prom photos. Then I will show you the transformation my Kitchen went through today. Here is the link to their site. http://www.easternshorepermaglaze.com

So Beautiful!

Ok. This is what my kitchen looked like at 9:30 this morning.

And this is what it looked like at 11:00. He taped off and covered everything except the counter tops.

At about 11:15 he started spraying the base coat. He let that dry then did the flecked granite coat. Those two coats dried quickly and were not too fumey smelling. By around 1:30 he started the glossy clear coat. This is what really makes it look like granite.

By 3:30 he had the tape off and the counters were dry to touch. He said I could put my things back on them tomorrow morning! I can’t believe how great this looks. Feel free to have a look when you come to the studio.
