This rough barn space was transformed into a finished photography studio in 2018. Previously a woodworking shed, it underwent a complete renovation (including running water and central air) and eventually became my dream photography studio in New Market, MD.

I have been photographing the Grimaldo family since big sister, Paola, turned one! But this time it was little brother Mateo’s turn to be in front of my camera! He loved splashing in the water and playing with the little rubber ducky that I provide for bath time. His curious little head tilts and his adorable smile made everyones hearts melt!

I’m convinced that if anyone looked up the word “personality” in the dictionairy, Alina’s picture would be the definition! This one year/ cake smash session was so dreamy in so many ways. One of my favorite things about Alina’s one year session was how much she LOVED music. She took a total of one bite of her cake and danced the rest of the time!

We then brought it inside to capture some images before getting too messy in with the cake smash. The basket in the top picture is the same basket we put her in for her newborn photos. I always love doing this because you can really see how much they have grown and changed over the past year.

Celebrating little Hanna on her 1st birthday was so fun! She was full of smiles and silly faces. We did 2 outfits before her “Donut Smash” and a bubble bath after to clean up. This is quite typical of how my one-year sessions flow. I love the variety it gives and it keeps the babies interested!

For Henry’s big day, he got to take over the JNP Studio—both inside and out.  Although his official first birthday fell last March, we waited for the perfect spring day to schedule his photoshoot.  (Fortunately, that didn’t take too long.)  On April 28th, we had sunny, warm weather; just right for a Cake Smash and cleanup.
