Awesome Family at the Park (Pasadena Maryland Photographer)

Just a quick post in this crazy week of an wonderful family I met up with recently at the park- I've been super duper busy with photoshoots!  I can't wait to share them with you hopefully next week!

Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl!

 
 

Miss A- Maryland Senior Portraits

In October I met up with Miss A.  She is absolutely stunning and such a sweet personality.  We booked her senior session before school started and come to find out- I have her sister in my class!  I love photographing seniors.  I didn't have to ask her what she was going to be for Halloween and she followed directions!

First we did a formal drape photo at the park with my portable twist flex backdrop-

Then, we went over to the mother's garden while everything was still in bloom-

Then on to the bay...

 

Lake Raystown Resort Camping Review (meadows destinations)

At the end of September we took our RV to Lake Raystown Resort and Conference Center in Pennsylvania.  Lake Raystown is a beautiful man made lake which is overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers. 

We were a little nervous about this trip because of the distance. This would be the only the second time we would stop for fuel with the RV attached.  It only took us about 4 full hours to get Raystown Lake and we had traveled more time on our 6 hour hellish trip last year over the Bay Bridge to Cherrystone.  That time we had found a run down diesel station by chance but we knew this time we would be traveling interstates and would have to get off.  We "mapquested"- I guess that is a verb?  a few truck stops and ended up in Breezewood with the big rigs.  Hubby is an awesome driver and we had no problems at all and the boys were thrilled that we were fueling next to all those trucks- most of which had dogs in them!

We arrived at our site and were pleasantly surpized that when they said water front- they meant it...

 We were there in the off season so there was no one around- which was the case with Cherrystone last year.  We're starting to love camping in September.  We've heard Raystown Lake  is packed in the summer.  By the size of the marinas and the skunks that visited us on the last night there we believe it!  There is a water park attached to the campground as well which was closed since we went after labor day.  We did however, go out on the "Proud Mary" for their Sunday Morning Breakfast cruise which was awesome and they were still very nice to us even though we were all decked out head to toe in purple!  Since it rained so much on Sat.  I ended up just putting G in his snowpants and letting him go...

Most of the time he was doing this...

Ham loved out site and spent a lot of time throwing rocks...

and feeding ducks...

and feeding the GIANT CARP dog food at the marina...

We will go back:)

 

 

Beautiful Family (Southern Maryland Family Photographer)

Just an awesome family I had the pleasure of photographing lately with some cutie patootie girls...

 

and some knock out Grandparents!

 
 

November Events!

Check your inboxes!  I sent the newsletter last night with an outline of November specials and Christmas Card information... If you want to be in on what's new don't forget to sign up for the monthly newsletter on the top right of this page.  Since I don't like to post without a photo- here is Ham on the first day of preschool...  I have another really cute photo from this day but I used it in the Gap Casting Call and I don't want to jinx Ham's future as a Gap Model;)

Halloween at our house 2009

Grab a snickers- this is a long post- I have to make this fast though- the boys are sleeping and I think the sugar coma is starting to wear off!

We started the Halloween season by getting spooked just like last year!

We had some great treats in our bag and Ham went with me this year to play phantom on two of our neighbors.  We were very discreet sneaking around the neighborhood in skeleton glow in the dark Pj's..

Later that same week I took a day off of work to chaperone my first field trip as a Mommy!  How nice it was to only worry about one little person instead of the 700 we take on Middle School field trips!

We went to Papa John's Pumpkin farm which is according to Ham "a pumpkin patch with a farm in it."

We chose some great pumpkins but had to go back last Saturday for one more for Church- meet Pete...

Pete had a great lesson to go along with him which I found online- he hung out at Ham's preschool all week and he was a big hit at the parties and parade!  I took the boys to the middle school dance where Mr. G (no fear of big middle schoolers danced and ran around like he was one of them!)
 
Also last weekend, we went to Hershey Park in the Dark for my nieces birthdays- the boys both loved the rides and there are so many good pics that I'm going to do a seperate post later this week.

Finally- Halloween had arrived at our house...

We (Hubby) spent the morning carving our pumpkins complete with power tools!

They turned out AWESOME!

 

As soon as the sign went up at Angels I knew I wanted to take the boys there for the costume contest... I have such fun memories of the parties there when I was a kid and I actually found myself in their old photo albums!

So- here they are... Mr. Shark and Mr. Fisherman in their boat "Reel Bad"

My crazy sister and her husband ready to go to a party...

and our whole crew ready to go out "treatin"

All the big kids...

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Website and Photocart down

My website and photocart have been down since Friday 10/30- I'm working on the problem and I think it is fixed.  They both should be up shortly.  Sorry for any inconvience!

Ravens fans (Maryland Family Photographer)

Remember the "How to Hold your Baby Brother" post from a year ago?  Well on opening day of Ravens season we tried it again- this time in matching number 5 jerseys...

Then we tried- "How to Help Your Baby Brother Sneak Away From Mommy's Camera...

We will always be true Raven's fans no matter whether they win, lose or miss the final field goal attempt with seconds left.

LETS GO RAVENS!
 
 

Little Hot Rod (Maryland Baby Photographer)

So- I couldn't wait to share with you the rest of my favorites from my photo shoot with the newest little Meadows Man- maybe we should call him Hot Rod since he's so comfortable in the Mustang.  By the way, his Mommy and Daddy also both have convertable Mustangs!
