First photo session of 2012 coming at you…

More to come from this adorable family!

Germantown Family Photos. Holidays Are Here!

2011-11-08T10:51:00.001-05:00

So excited I got to spend an afternoon with one of my all time favorite families!

And, I’m not saying that because this is our third photo session together; I’m saying that because they are so stinkin’ awesome and a whole lotta fun!

Plus, I love getting to see my little clients grow up so much!

Thanks for the great sunny day, H. Family, more coming soon!

Frederick, Maryland Senior Photos. Linganore High School Senior.

2011-11-02T14:10:00.001-04:00

I love taking senior portraits!

So much fun and so easy too (no one crying, or running away from the camera)!

And, it’s always so exciting to see them all um, excited! About life and what’s to come!

Here’s one more thing to add to the list of things to be excited about: PHOTOS!

Frederick Family PHotos. Winter Photo Session.

2011-11-01T21:54:00.001-04:00

The only good thing about snow in October is that id didn’t ruin my photo sessions!

Thanks for being all smiley despite the cold temps and wet ground S. Family!

Frederick Family Photography. Snow Day Photos.

2011-11-01T11:27:00.001-04:00

Can you even believe it snowed in October?!

Yeah, me neither!

And, imagine how our fall photos could have turned out!

Fortunately this family was up for some winter-ish fun and we had a great time baking in the post-early-snow sunshine last weekend!

Great sports!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak, O. Family. More coming soon…

Alexandria Virginia, Family Portraits. Dudes & Swords & Sisters & Stuff.

2011-10-24T19:52:00.002-04:00

I’m an all Dude Mom.

No girls in this house aside from the dog and I’ve decided that her desire to get into mischief with my kids means she doesn’t even count,

So, when I get to take photos of families that have a little sister with two big brothers to call her own I just love it!

Seeing their interaction with one another; how they are embroiled in a sword fight with each other one moment, and then turn to her with a gentler touch and a softer voice the next.

It’s just so, so cool.

Great way to spend an afternoon with my camera of course!

Thanks for letting me into your family for an hour; the pleasure was all mine!

Montgomery County Maryland Family Photographer. Brothers Having Fun.

2011-10-24T16:50:00.002-04:00

As mom to three sons I am always excited to photograph other little dudes. Rather it’s because it makes me feel like I’m not the only one living a wild and crazy Dude Mom Life, or if it’s just because it’s where I feel the most comfortable, I’ll probably never really figure out.

Either way, I know how to make a Dude smile and I’m happy to have been sorta kinda successful with these brothers.

Toddlers are a tough crowd (something about my jokes not being particularly age appropriate), but darn if they aren’t cute!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek C. Family, more coming soon!

Frederick, Maryland Family Photographer. Family on the Creek.

2011-10-24T16:28:00.002-04:00

One early fall morning + one easy to smile little boy = a really happy photographer with pictures to prove it!

Loved spending the morning with this interesting little dude. We talked excavators and birds of fowl.

My kind of morning!

More photos to come soon!

Odenton, Maryland Family Photographer. 2 Fun Guys!

2011-10-24T15:15:00.002-04:00

All smiles! That’s how I would describe this lovely family!

I had so much fun spending an afternoon with them last weekend! And, man were they easy to photograph!

Best part? I didn’t even have to tell mom and dad to hold hands; they just did it. Because they wanted too!

Gotta love it!

Hope you enjoy you sneak peak!

More coming soon!

Alexandria Family Photograhy. A Couple of Cool Kids!

2011-10-24T15:02:00.001-04:00

I loved this family from the moment I met them!

Something about the skull shirts, and the energy infused boys I guess!

Thanks for making our chilly morning full of warm fun!

Alexandria, Virginia Family Photographer. One Happy Baby.

2011-10-24T14:23:00.001-04:00

This is my new pal…

He’s a super cool dude. He’d like you to meet his mom and dad…

They are soooo much fun!

No wonder he’s full of smiles!

More smiley photos coming soon!

Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, Maryland Photographer. Fall in the Gardens.

2011-10-22T22:29:00.002-04:00

This has turned into quite the busy October!

I am blogging my 10th session of the month right now and while it is slightly overwhelming, it’s still 100% fun!

I’m so happy to have had this photo session open up at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton last weekend.

Not every day a beautiful location falls into your lap and you just so happen to have a gorgeous and fun family ready and waiting to snap it up!

Um, lucky?!

Totally.

Hope you enjoy your pics J. Family; so many more coming soon!

Maryland Family Photographer. Dancing Machine Baby.

2011-10-17T12:36:00.001-04:00

One of my shoots this weekend was of the most adorable, curly-haired princess ever!

Even better than her sweet face and her bouncy hair?! The fact that she had some serious moves!

Thanks for working the room for me this weekend, Baby K. It was my pleasure to be invited to your dance party!

Alexandria, Virginia. Family Portraits. A Leaping Good Day!

2011-10-17T10:27:00.001-04:00

The weather this past weekend was amazing!

A photographer’s dream even!

So, no wonder this little guy was jumping for joy!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak H. Family! More to come soon…

Falls Church, Virginia Family Photographer. Brother & Sister!

2011-10-17T09:43:00.001-04:00

I am one part of a brother-sister team so getting a chance to photograph these two was such a blast.

And they were full of energy and smiles for our morning shoot!

And grandma’s yard was the absolutely most perfect place to do it too!

Enjoy your sneak peak M Family! More to come soon…

Frederick Maryland Family Photographer. Baker Park Boys.

2011-10-13T07:19:00.002-04:00

Another set of brothers!

I’m loving this opportunity to capture so many fun loving brothers this fall!

These two were so fun; full of energy and laughter.

So easy to capture beautiful images of!

More to come!

Enjoy…

As a Dude Mom to three handsome balls of energy, I relish my opportunities to photograph little girls.

But, when it comes right down to it, I feel most comfortable hanging with the guys and seeing their personalities explode in front of my camera.

You know, in that special way that only boys know how to do.

Thanks for spending a morning with me, guys! I had a blast.

More shots to come soon!

Baltimore Outdoor Photographer. Piney Run Park.

2011-10-11T10:48:00.002-04:00

I can’t even get over how beautiful last weekend was!

As a Maryland photographer, there are few things I hope for more than a rain free fall weekend!

We certainly got that!

And, luckily I also had a pretty cool family to share it with!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak! More coming soon!

Frederick, Maryland family Photography.

2011-10-10T11:49:00.002-04:00

One big happy family + One amazingly beautiful early fall day = some pretty awesome photos if I do say so myself!

Best part?

That I get to call one of these wonderful people a friend!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak (a)musing foodie family! More to come soon!

Wheaton, maryland Family Photography.

2011-10-10T11:15:00.001-04:00

Two things come to mind when I think of Saturday’s family shoot: fun and gorgeous!

Being surrounded by happy families is one of the best parts of doing this business and I loved spending a gloriously sunny afternoon with the T Family this post October weekend!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak…

Rockville, Maryland Family Portraits. One Big Family.

2011-10-03T10:27:00.001-04:00

I love generational family photo sessions.

It’s just neat to see how a family begins…

And then grows…

And grows…

Until it’s just all the way filled with love…

Thanks for letting me be a part of your big, happy family for the day!

More images to come soon!

2011-09-19T21:36:00.002-04:00

With all of the rain we have been having a ton of shoots have been getting rescheduled. Or rained on.

Not fun for this photographer who loves taking her clients, especially those of the younger set, outside on little walks to capture their happy.

Fortunately, this day did not get ruined by rain!

Enjoy your sneak peek, E. Family! Thanks for spending the day with me!

MONTGOMERY COUNT MARYLAND PHOTOGRAPHY. ANIIVERSARY PHOTOS.

2011-09-17T22:34:00.002-04:00

I’m just gonna go ahead and be honest here and say that a really important chunk of what I do is based on luck.

Yeah, there’s some skill involved, and having good equipment and knowledge of lighting and such plays a part as well.

But sometimes it really just comes down to luck.

How lucky are you gonna be with the weather? How lucky are you gonna be with the location? How lucky are you going to be to have to completely gorgeous and down right adorable clients and their itty bitty puppy to photograph?

I got lucky like that this weekend…

Lucky that this day that started out wet and gross ended up bright and beautiful.

And lucky that these two gorgeous people busted out their smiles for me.

And, lucky that this puppy was only a tiny bit like some of my two year old clients as she mostly decided to hold still and smile at the camera. You know, mostly.

Thanks for making magic with me this weekend, guys; I love getting lucky!

Baltimore Maryland Natural Light Photography. One Great Location, Two Beautiful Families!

2011-09-06T20:15:00.003-04:00

This past weekend I stumbled upon a photographer’s dream place.

A spectacular, water-oriented location that has beautiful trees and rolling, grassy hills, and everything to make a beautiful back drop for some lovely family photos.

So, here they are!

FAMILY 1…

FAMILY 2…

Great way to spend a holiday weekend if you ask me!

Maryland Wedding Photography. Vintage Church Wedding!

2011-09-05T07:44:00.001-04:00

2011-08-29T16:33:00.002-04:00

Another beautiful smile to share today!

This one from a young woman preparing to make her mark on the world…

Such a positive energy and a great personality!

I’d buy insurance from you Ms S.

Good luck in your pursuit and keep smiling!

Nothern Virginia Family Photography. The N. Family

2011-08-29T07:43:00.002-04:00

I love photographing babies.

But, even more, I love photographing families filled with babies!

Add in a couple of grandparents and you have my kind of day!

Even with the threat of a hurricane barreling our way this weekend, you couldn’t keep the joy outta these faces.

Thanks for letting me capture your special moments N. Family!

Sometimes photo shoots are hard.

They aren’t all pretty umbrella’s and flowing tutu skirts.

Sometimes kids just don’t want to have their photos taken.

At all.

And, that is when you just have to get creative.

And be happy for the patience of an easy going mom who has the positive energy of um, something super positive!

Thanks for bearing with me, W. Family!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Rockville, Maryland Photography. Rock Creek Family Photos.

2011-07-18T08:39:00.001-04:00

You guys know how I feel about little boys.

Can’t get enough of the guys.

They’re just so much fun…

Sorta like hanging out with fun families…

More to come soon!

2011-07-11T22:04:00.002-04:00

I so totally LOVE being a photographer!

It gives you a window into a family that let’s you in on so many of the specialness of them.

I have known this mama for a while now.

But I knew her as a blogger, and a professional, and a friend, but not so much as a mother and a wife.

Getting to know her and how she and her family interact and relate was an awesome way to spend and afternoon.

And heck if every single one of them isn’t just so dang gorgeous!

And fun! Let’s not forget the fun…

Hope you didn’t mind my dripping sweat all over ya!

I had a blast and more to come soon!

Frederick baby photographer. tutus and moutaineers!

2011-07-10T11:52:00.002-04:00

I am fortunate to know some seriously adorable baby girls.

There constant smiles and comfort in pink brings me joy that my sneering, jeering, flying-jump-kicking, camo-wearing Dudes simply can not.

But, my life as a Dude Mom certainly allows me to appreciate a chick who is as cute and comfy in a tutu…

As she is in a raccoon hat…

Thanks Baby L. and family for making my day girly!

More smiles coming soon…

Virginia Newborn Photographer. Baby E.

2011-07-03T11:21:00.002-04:00

There really are few things in this world more special than welcoming a new life.

And, being a part of the special moments that surround expanding your family by adding a fresh baby bundle to it is one of the biggest perks of being a photographer.

At least I think so.

So, thank you to this family and all of the others before you and those yet to come who have welcomed me and my loudly clicking camera into their sacred nurseries.

The pleasure is all mine!

Enjoy your sneak peak; more to come soon!

MARYLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY. FAMILY PHOTO FUN.

2011-06-29T08:01:00.002-04:00

Every now and then you get the opportunity to photograph a family that you think was made for you to photograph.

A family that helps create the perfect photo captures.

Natural, fun, and TOTALLY cool…

That’s how I would describe this family and their shoot.

I felt like I was just hanging out with some really great looking people in color coordinated outfits who were having a spectacular time together…

So easy to make magic…

Hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did!

More of your session coming soon!

MARYLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRPAHY. 3 SWEET GIRLS!

2011-06-29T07:46:00.003-04:00

As a mom of three I have to say I truly enjoy working with the dynamics of three children.

There’s just something about how they relate to each other that makes them interesting and fun and full of excitement.

Oh, and super hard to capture a perfect photo of!

Luckily, my idea of a perfect photo is the one that perfectly captures each child in their own way while also showing their connection.

I think these are doing the trick…

Perfect balance between posed and natural!

And, even though we had to go through a whole mess of these to get there…

It was worth it in the end!

Three adorable girls…

One happy family!

Hope your big day is as special as this photo shoot was!

Thanks for letting me enjoy the party with you!

2011-06-27T07:56:00.002-04:00

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousands times; I LOVE shooting babies.

With my camera of course!

They are just filled with so much joy and they spread that around the room with something so basic as a smile.

And, it’s always so exciting to be sharing those first smiles with new moms and dads.

You can see, and even feel, how much in love they are with their baby.

And that’s awesome, ya know.

Kinda like this kid…

Thanks for letting me spend the day with Baby C. She was quite the little charmer!

Northern Virginia Family Photography. H Family.

2011-06-07T06:14:00.004-04:00

There are a few places I have discovered lately that make for a perfect family photo capturing location.

This is one of them.

It has all of the elements you need to make for a great day with the camera.

Provided you have a gorg family to hang with.

There is a train…

There is a park…

And. There. Is. ICE CREAM!

Thanks for spending the day with me H Family!

Enjoy the shots! More coming soon!

Virginia Maternity Photography. Meadowlark Gardens photo shoot.

2011-05-25T10:42:00.002-04:00

I LOVE baby bellies!

And the owners of such are just so glowy and happy and bursting with excitement.

Throw in a beautiful locations and a beautiful, sun-shiny day and you have the makings of something pretty spectacular!

Thanks to both of you for letting me in on the fun!

2011-05-05T14:40:00.006-04:00

I LOVE making memories with newborn babies.

They don’t complain, they smell delicious, and their parents are just so, SO very in love with them.

It’s so special to be a part of that.

Congratulations on your new little memory maker, J. Family.

Enjoy your images.

Many more to come!

2011-05-01T22:59:00.002-04:00

As a mom to boys, I appreciate the effort when they show up for a photo shoot clean, composed, and on their best behavior.

Exactly the way the M. Family showed up for or shoot at the Clifton, VA train station in the quaint town center.

It was a miraculously beautiful afternoon.

People were everywhere, but we were able to take a few moments and capture these train loving brothers on the tracks.

So much fun!

Hope Mom enjoys looking at this sneak peak because there are MANY more coming!

Thanks for spending the afternoon with me!

Maryland Senior Portraits!

2011-04-26T14:53:00.002-04:00

Want to know one great way to spend a sunny morning?

Taking senior portraits of course!

I was lucky enough to be able to capture this special time for a local family and am so excited to share!

More to come soon B. Family, hope you enjoy…

Maryland Princess Portraits.

2011-04-12T22:57:00.003-04:00

I’m pretty sure I was supposed to have a daughter.

I just love princess too much to not to!

Strangely enough, instead of having someone to dress in frilliness and cover with glitter I’ve got a house full to bursting with Dudes.

I guess that’s why I’ve launched this new element at Then Again Photography: Princess Portraits.

A glitterful, glamorous, twirly day for little girls to experience the magic of being a princess.

Bring your own wand or borrow one of mine.

You can ask a whole group of princesses to join you at your portrait party, or savor it all yourself.

You can even bring a prince along if you want, so long as he’s armed to slay the dragon!

Either way there will be a tiara (every little princess gets one to keep) and many magic moments captured.

See what our first little princess did on her special day…

Almost too much fun for one little princess to handle!

Maryland Princess Portraits. Then Again Photography.

2011-04-01T09:27:00.005-04:00

Excitement is in the air here at Then Again Photography!

Frederick, Maryland Boudoir Photographer.

2011-03-03T11:27:00.002-05:00

I love doing boudoir shoots.

There is something so fulfilling about creating something that makes a woman feel beautiful and confident and special.

Because we all know how amazing it is to feel that way.

And, being a part of something created in love and trust and commitment is just so special.

That’s what these photos are all about, you know. I mean you have to be pretty in love and committed to someone you love to have a perfect stranger come in to your home and take pictures of your gnarly bits just to make them happy!

So thank you, Ms. S. For sharing these moments with me.

Hope you love them!

Maryland Special Event Photography. The B. Family.

2011-02-25T11:13:00.001-05:00

Prior to my being invited into the home of the B. Family, I’d never been to a Mundan before.

I didn’t even realize that the tradition some Indian families celebrate, in which they shave their child’s head, was such an exciting and lavish affair.

I learned all about it, while witnessing a beautiful family celebration, thanks to the B. Family.

I hope you enjoy your photos as much as I enjoyed the opportunity to capture them (and the Motichoor; so good!).

Here is a small taste of the day!

More to come soon…

Bethesda, Maryland Family Photography.

2011-01-24T17:15:00.002-05:00

I love being able to capture special moments with young families!

I had a wonderful time doing that with the M. Family in Bethesda this past weekend.

Such a fun time!

Family time…

Daddy time…

Mommy time…

Play time…

And, my favorite of all, girl time!

Thanks for such a girly, sweet morning! More to come soon!

Newborn Photography. Alexandria, Virginia.

2011-01-10T19:09:00.003-05:00

There’s something special and good and sweet and perfect about the smell of newborn babies.

I remember it from when I had my own and I love the opportunity to relive those happy parts about having a new human in your life when I photograph a newly expanded family.

I also love that, after three hours of me adjusting and posing and down right harassing the desperately-trying-to-sleep bundle, I get to leave the family and come home to remember it all in silent, not overstimulated photographs!

Thank you so much, G. Family, for letting me into your home to enjoy your sweet family.

Hope baby girl and big brother weren’t too upset after I left!

And, maybe it was worth it…

Mayland Family Photographer Rings in the New Year

2010-12-31T15:38:00.008-05:00

Happy New Year!

2010 was very good to Then Again Photography thanks entirely to my lovely clients.

Thank you for making me one happy family photographer in Maryland.

Enjoy some of my favorite shots from 2010...

80th Birthday Party. Maryland Event Photography.

2010-11-27T21:19:00.003-05:00

It's not everyday a girl gets to turn 80 years old!

And, when she does it only makes sense that her whole beautiful family makes it a point to show up to enjoy a piece of cake with her!

It was my pleasure to share this special event with this wonderful family.

So many more photos to come!

Early Morning Family Shoot. Frederick, Maryland Photographer

2010-11-23T16:19:00.004-05:00

As the mornings grow colder and the days grow shorter, being an on-location photographer who shoots most happily outdoors requires some bundling up.

Not only for me, but for my littlest clients too!

Little Miss E. was such a good sport when I met her, her parents, and her best bud, Woof this past weekend.

She took me outside and showed me her swing and her lawn mower even though she was, as she kept reminding us, "Burrrr!"

Thanks for making my chilly Sunday morning a little bit warmer!

And, happy birthday, to my newest 2 year old friend, Burrr!

A Perfect Fall Day. Virginia Family Photography

2010-11-16T17:03:00.006-05:00

Every now and then as a photographer you have a perfect day.

I can't say that this past Sunday started off that way; there were a couple of less than happy kids, a session gone long, and DC Metro area traffic designed to ruin me.

It definitely was not my favorite Sunday.

But.

When I arrived in the quaint Northern Virginia neighborhood that the N. Family calls home I was sincerely hoping for a perfect shoot.

And guess what?!

It pretty much was!

Because they were the cutest little family.

And the weather was fantastic.

And the fall colors were at their best in the nearby park and tree lined streets.

So when I drove away on Sunday I was pretty dang happy with the way my day turned out.

And, I hope that the N.Family was too...

Football Family Photos. Maryland Family Photography.

2010-11-15T15:14:00.008-05:00

Welcome back, game fans.

We've got the Redskins and the Cowboys going head-to-head this holiday season as we hit the football field of a local high school to snap some shots of one of my favorite local families.

It's almost a crime to have these two teams on the field at the same time, but it's even more of a crime having so many cuties in one household!

Here's to another great year, football fans!

Sisters. A Mid-Maryland Photo Shoot.

2010-10-26T07:03:00.001-04:00

I grew up with just one lowly, younger brother.

He worshipped me. I attempted to avoid his dorkiness at all costs.

To this day, he continues to worship me. I avoid him less.

But, having a brother, is nothing like having a sister would have been.

I imagine we would have been like these two…

Silly smiles…

Closeness that can neither be forced nor denied…

Spending the morning with these two girls reminded me of all the things I missed out on by not having a sister. But it also helped me appreciate the fact that I had a brother.

At least no one borrowed my clothes…

Thanks to the K. Family for letting me spend the day with them (again!). More shots to come soon!

Want to see what my first shoot with the K. Family was like? Check it out here: Maryland Family Photos

Maryland Baby Photo. B&T Family Session.

2010-09-28T14:50:00.002-04:00

Being a Maryland baby photographer is pretty cool.

I get to hang out with some seriously awesome little people. And, I get to meet some amazingly beautiful families.

This week’s family invited me out to their home in Montgomery County to photograph a little dude they were super happy to show off…

He was asleep when I arrived but he was more than happy to wake up and have some fun Then Again Photography style…

The kid was a party animal!

His expressions were classic…

And so stinkin’ cute…

And, even when he wasn’t exactly happy to be doing the whole Zoolander thing for me…

He was still a hunk of huggable cuteness!

I just wanted to eat him up, but I think I’d have a couple of people to fight off first!

As adorable as he is…

it’s easy to see why!

Thanks B&T for having me out to your home to capture you and your cute-as-a-button baby boy. More images will be ready for you soon!

My Favorite Thing. Sneak Peak: E&B Family.

2010-09-21T09:42:00.013-04:00

My favorite thing about being a lifestyle photographer is not the sweet babies...

Or the fun toddlers...

Or even hanging out outside on one of the most beautiful mornings of the year, just having fun with new found friends...

It's the special moments. Captured between mommy and baby...

or daddy and son...

That's what I love about being a photographer.

Thanks to Mommy E and Daddy B for letting me experience these happy moments with your family.

More to come!

Natural Light Photography. Gaithersburg, Maryland.

2010-09-14T09:16:00.003-04:00

It started as a dark and rainy day in Maryland.

We thought we were going to have to cancel. To reschedule for another day, later in the fall.

A day more pleasing to this natural light Maryland photographer.

Because to use natural light, there sorta needs to be some!

But, then.

Out of nowhere.

The sun came out.

And the day turn bright, and warm, and beautiful.

Allowing me to spend a fun afternoon with a beautiful little princess…

Her handsome big brother…

And the gorgeous family it was my distinct pleasure to meet!

Thank you for spending a day with me, H Family.

More photos coming soon from your sunny, natural light photo shoot!

All Grown Up.

2010-07-21T16:22:00.003-04:00

That’s what she is now.

Well, not really, but sort of.

Just seven months ago she was here…

Naked and sleeping to her mama’s heart’s content.

And, look at her now…

Still cute as a button…

As she works the room in search of smiles and anything else she can wrap her pudgy little hands around…

I could go on forever about this little bundle of love.

But, I won’t.

You can see more of her pictures on the website if you’d like to check them (and tons of others) out: Then Again Photography.

A Mom in a Million. Boudoir Photo Shoot.

Some moms have all the luck.

Amazing husband, sweet children, nice home, a great job, AND an awesome body!

Smart, confident, and sexy…

Tons of fun too!

We had a great time creating this birthday surprise for her husband. SHHHH!

And I can’t wait to hear just how surprised he is!

Not that he doesn’t already know what a hottie he married, but still!

Good luck with the birthday reveal. Tons more to share soon!

Fun Family Portraits in Mt. Airy

2010-06-01T14:40:00.002-04:00

I’ve known Teachmama for a while now.

Beautiful, right?!

We’ve met as bloggers and as digital moms in various on and offline forums.

What I didn’t know about her was that she was the mom to such a gorgeous and sweet family.

I got to know all of them, including their sweet little pup, last weekend when I did their family portraits.

Tons of personality and tons of fun!

Thanks, Teachmama, for letting me capture your beautiful family!

Many more shots to come!

Thank you for stopping by Then Again Photography to view the photos of the Deer Dash!

I had a wonderful time hanging out with all of you at the race.

Family Fun at the Lake

2010-04-22T21:48:00.006-04:00

When the S. Family showed up for their shoot last week at the ~~ridiculously cold~~ lake for their photo shoot I was jazzed (seriously, it was unseasonably cold and the kids spent half of the shoot wrapped in my backdrops that I just happened to have brought along).

They were so dang cute!

Ms. S herself is quite a hottie...

And, she has a perfectly gorgeous daughter...

And, a strikingly handsome son...

Lucky!

But, they best part about the day was learning that not only are they easy on the eyes, but they are also a TON of fun!

Especially young Mr. S.

He was very sassy in front of the camera...

But, don't let him fool you, he loves his mama!

Score!

Taking pictures of fun families is my photography dream come true.

Hope they enjoyed their shoot as much as I did despite the fact that we were shivering the entire time.

Gone to the Races!

2010-04-17T23:04:00.004-04:00

And what a beautiful and fun day it was!

I got to spend a lovely afternoon on the grounds of this beautiful plantation in Virginia...

with this sweet and fun family and a whole bunch of their equally sweet friends...

But, the party didn't really even get started until the guest of honor, Baby J, showed up...

Looks like someone has his Mimi wrapped around his little finger!

Hard to not fall for such a happy and handsome little dude...

Thank you so much to the J Family for inviting this Frederick photographer out to the beautiful Virginia area for a day at the races! The rest of your shots will be ready soon!

Everything Nice

2010-04-12T22:33:00.002-04:00

Part cowgirl...

Part princess...

And, tons of fun...

That's how I would describe Saturday morning's shoot with these two daddy's girls...

More to come soon!

Proof that Kids Are Heroes

2010-04-11T17:36:00.007-04:00

And, I got to see that first hand yesterday when I grabbed some shots of some really cool kids making bears to donate to area hospitals, police/fire rescue organizations, and orphanages in Uganda at Boyds Bear Country in Gettysburg.

It was my first time at the shop, but the kids looked like bear making professionals!

Lots of them even brought along their parents to help out with the hard stuff, like holding their extra bears, and smiling real big for the camera!

Is there a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?

These kids don't seem to think so!

Coming Soon to a Nursery Near You!

2010-03-01T16:17:00.001-05:00

Some people just look ready to be parents.

C&A were a couple of those people.

And so were there sweet little pups Sasha and China.

They will be welcoming Baby J into their beautiful, loving home before they know it.

But, a few baby belly shots first!

Check back soon for to see little man’s debut (if they invite me back to meet him that is!).

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

2010-02-09T23:30:00.001-05:00

Winter is not my most busy season of the year.

This winter is particularly unpleasant for on location portrait photography because all of my most favorite outdoor locations are completely inaccessible and blanketed in white stuff.

But.

On the rare occasions that I am able to venture out it is 100% worth it because moments like these are not likely to present themselves again any time soon.

It’s not too often we get hit with 32 inches of snow…

Followed closely by another major weather system…

So when we do we’ve got to make the most of it…

Days like these can’t be lived again!

Not Much Sugar, Whole Lotta Spice

2010-01-27T07:30:00.003-05:00

So, I’m taking on a new venture.

Well, I guess it’s not really a new venture, because it still requires me to be behind a lens, doing what I love.

But, it is something new-ish.

Boudoir Photography!

You know, the sexy stuff?!

Like this…

Cool, right?

I’m super excited about it because they are so fun.

I really get to know my clients and it’s something special that they can share with ~~the entire World Wide Web on their fancy pay-to-enter websites~~ a loved one.

Seriously, they really are a lot of fun, and they make a PERFECT GIFT for a very special upcoming holiday.

Or, for a bride-to-be. Or for an anniversary gift. Or for a you-dumped-this-are-you-kidding-me? gift.

The ideas are limitless.

So, wanna undress for me?

‘Course you do!

Tutus

2009-07-12T01:00:00.000-04:00

New photo prop just added! I love taking photos of little girls (wonder why?) so I've added something special to my photo shoots. As an added bonus you can have your daughter photographed wearing a tutu like the one pictured (must be ordered @ time of booking). If you book 4 weeks in advance of the shoot you will be able to select the color you'd like designed as well! Also, if you (or your daughter) love the tutu you can purchase it (or a custom made one) to keep for all of those prima donna days she is sure to have.

Then Again Photography is also offering Tutu princess parties! You provide the princesses, we provide the tutus and capture it all on film. Contact Then Again for additional info and pricing packages at thenagainphoto@gmail.com.

New Blog

2009-02-05T14:24:00.001-05:00

I know that few people actually click on the links on the side of the blog so I thought I'd give everyone a heads up about my newest blog. I know, enough already, but for all of you mommies out there who are looking for a confidence boost blog that makes you feel good about your parenting I think you would thoroughly enjoy visiting www.parentingbydummies.blogspot.com. Feel free to share it with your friends, I have no shame:)!

Valentine's Day

2009-02-05T14:05:00.007-05:00

I used to love Valentine's Day. I would pour over the box of generic cards my mom would buy me from the store, trying to decide who would get which card. I don't think my boys could care less about the holiday. My oldest just likes that he gets to have a party, my middle one just wants a cupcake, and the baby is obviously happily oblivious. I, however, still enjoy giving (and getting hint, hint) Valentine's Day cards so I hope you enjoy a couple of mine that I plan to send out.
