11 day old Elliot came into the studio with big brother Sam by his side. Taking photos with your brother can be a little tricky when you’re 18 months old, but Sam was so sweet with Elliot. He would point to Elliot’s nose and give him kisses and cuddles. Elliot experienced most of his newborn session behind closed eyes. But this didn’t stop him from giving us several adorable sleepy smiles.

Swing minis are awesome for nearly any age. With customized swings for boys, girls, and the younger crowd, these mini-sessions are one of my most popular mini-sessions! The greenery around the swings and the lighting that we aim to capture make these images whimsical and timeless.

Storm would do anything for his favorite thing…cheese! Storm’s owner came well-equipped with several packages of string cheese. Even for an old pup like himself, Storm knew exactly what he was about to be rewarded with when he heard that wrapper peel back! It was the cutest thing to watch him get excited for his special treat!

Sweet Tellulah arrived at JNP studio at nine days old with her proud siblings and doting parents. Tellulah, nicknamed Lulah (how adorable is that?!), had us “aww-ing” throughout her entire session.

Glitter sessions are loads of fun for everyone; the final images always turn out magical! Audrey’s glitter session was no different. If you’ve ever experienced a glitter session at JNP, you know that glitter gets everywhere! The sign of a good glitter session is that it gets in places you never thought possible.

Zoe is a fun senior to work with; she is always up for anything! Having Zoe’s session a little bit later in the year allowed for the incorporation of Zoe’s future University into her Senior session!

“Treat yourself” was the motto for this session! Kristyn runs a business, is a wife, a mom, and an inspiration! She came to me with a vision, and together we brought that vision to life! Kristyn wanted to celebrate her 40th birthday in style, and we did just that!

Iyari came into the studio to be photographed in celebration of turning 2! You can see how special the bond between mother and daughter is in these photos. The image below is one of my favorites from Iyari’s session. The way the light catches her eyes as she’s looking up reminds me of why I started photographing in the first place.

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!

My best friend from elementary school hadn’t had pictures with her kids in years, so I had to fix that problem immediately!

Smiley Nora has been a joy to photograph since she was a newborn. This time she came in with her Mommy to capture their bond. We enjoyed downtown New Market, MD, and soaked up some amazing spring-time rays.
