River Hill High School Senior Photos : Jon W

Sharing another older session with you today!  These photos are of Jon W.  This kid has a special place in my heart.  He is our old pastor's son and was our first "kid" in youth group.  My husband and I had the pleasure of knowing him and hanging around him all thru his high school years.  Jon is a very talented artist and musician.  His dream is to be a rap artist and has put out 2 demo cds.  Jon moved to PA shortly before his senior year and really missed the city, so we explored Baltimore for his session.  We started out at a place called Graffiti Alley so Jon could leave some artwork on the street!  We then traveled to Mayfair Ave to shoot at the abandoned theater and finally finished up in Patterson Park.  I loved this shoot!! Hope you enjoy. 

Savage Mill Family Photos : W

Meet the W family!! Last Thanksgiving, I was taking photos of my mom and sisters in a park when Mrs. W came up to me and asked if I had time later that day to take pictures of her family.  Sadly I had to tell her no, as we were about to go home and eat some turkey, but we did connect thru email and schedule a shoot for the next day.  This family had a TON of personality and it was so fun to capture that with my camera.  Hope you enjoy my favorites from their session! 

Glenelg High School Graffiti Alley & Graffiti Warehouse Senior Photos : Austin

Meet my beautiful cousin Austin!  It is always an honor when family asks you to take photos for a special event.  Austin had told me months before becoming a senior that she wanted me to take her photos, so we had been talking and planning for months.  Austin is a VERY talented dancer and I just recently found out she has quite the knack for photography (hope she will be joining me on some photo shoots soon)!  Austin was the most organized senior I have ever worked with which made our day run super smooth.  She even was organized down to what jewelry went with what outfit!  We went to Graffiti Warehouse, Graffiti Alley, and Patterson Park for her session. I absolutely LOVE the photos from her session.  Below are my favorites!! Hope you enjoy.  Are you a high school junior or senior?

FAMILY : Payne

I am posting this from a shoot I did back in December of 2011.  These are photos of the Payne family or I guess I should say the almost Payne family.  I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding in June and I will blog about that later.  Misty and Johnny each have 5 kids and they are a blast to be around.  I can't wait to work with them again in the future!  Here are a few from their short family session.  Want to see more?  Head over to my facebook page for more images!

Thanks for looking!

FAMILY : Coleman

I met the Coleman family thru church. They are an awesome family!! I used to babysit their boys and used to play on the worship team with Shannon.  Shannon plays clarinet in the President's own band and is a member of the United States Marines.  Ty is an incredible soccer player and is so full of energy and life.  His little brother Ky is one of the sweetest kids I have ever met and loves trying to be like his big brother.  We did their shoot at their home and I love the way the pictures turned out.  There are more from their session over on my facebook page.

So what did you think?

Lake Elkhorn Family Photos : C

I had the pleasure of working with the [C] family.  I used to go to church with this family, but didn't really know them until more recently.  They are an AWESOME family. They are funny, kind, smart and genuine.  They wanted family pictures as well as couple photos to celebrate a 10 year anniversary coming up.  Here are my favorites from their shoot! 

I would love to know what you think of their session!  Which one is your favorite?  Want to see more from their session??  You can view more over on my Facebook page!  www.facebook.com/lempics
