Watching Nora grow through her First Year Plan has been a joy for everyone around her!  (Myself included.)  For those of you who may not be familiar with this program, it’s basically something I developed a few years ago to help parents capture the many milestones newborns experience.  The Deibler family decided to participate when baby Nora was born and we celebrated her first birthday last summer with a super sweet Cake Smash!  

When it comes to family portraits, there’s no “one size fits all” solution.  As a photographer, I love working with people who aren’t afraid to step outside of the traditional poses and really have fun during our photoshoots!  The Hendersons definitely did that when we took a walk around Frederick, Maryland last fall.  Although no one was more excited that day than Tinkerbell.

While most of the newborn sessions at the JNP Studio feature Mom and Dad in some way, the Doudt family brought a surprise when they came to see me last April.  Baby Audrey, at 13 days old, was accompanied by her older brother, Wyatt, her parents, and even her grandmother!  Before the day was over, we were able to capture these really special images with three generations of women in this family.

When one of your oldest friends has a baby, how do you find time to catch up? Recently, I had the rare privilege of mixing my personal and professional lives thanks to this handsome guy! On top of photographing newborn Camden, I also got to share the joy of this perfect baby with parents Carly and Conor.
