the blog

We are excited to post this blog post because this was officially, our first newborn shoot!

Maggie met Tim and Katie at a bonfire at her house almost a year ago. They were introcuded through Maggie’s good friend, Katie M. A little over 2 weeks, Tim and Katie became first time parents, to Jack!

Patrick and I had the honor of spending a sweet evening with Jim and Joan McDade. They are Patrick’s Aunt and Uncle (and mine now too). They invited us to come capture a few generations of family and grandkids and cousins for their annual Christmas dinner.

Patrick and I love family and so spending this evening with them was delightful!

 

Our Christmas at Deep Creek. Click to read more about the new Hoffmans and the new Nolans with the Hoffmans!

In celebration of our first Christmas together, we decided to do a Christmas Card! We found a picture on pinterest which was our inspiration. However, we spiced it up and made it custom for us. Here is what we came up with!

Patrick and I spent our first Thanksgiving with our cousins, the Byrds, up in Sykesville, Maryland.

Jesse and Allyson are our sweet November engagement post. Maggie has known Allyson and Jesse forever… like… they ran around in church as 3 years olds together… or something like that.

Anyway, these two lovebirds are getting married in the Spring and Patrick and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding!! Happy Engagement and Happy Thanksgiving!

Riliegh and Drew are two of the best kids in town… Skyesville I should say. Ann Marie and Tom are Patrick’s cousins (now my cousins), and Drew and Riliegh are their kids.

Patrick and I kidnapped these two (with parent permission) and took them out to do a photoshoot. They did and looked amazing. It was freezing though. We couldn’t feel our hands anymore, but the adventure of running through the woods kept us out and about.

Ann Marie and Tom will use these pictures for gifts, a holiday card, and also to update their portraits in their house. Can’t wait to see which picture they end up using!

Uncle John turned 60 and we celebrated! Aunt Terrie and her siblings threw a great party for him under the tent! Here’s a sweet and short recap of this wonderful night!

Skylar was our flower girl in our wedding. We were at the birth of Summit. These two girls are super special to us and their parents, Cameron and Lindsay are wonderful friends of ours. We wanted to capture this day for them. Even though the room was really dark, and I didnt have a flash, we figured we’d share this with them.

We are so excited to have this blog post up for the Wanless couple! This day was beautiful and the location wonderful. However, nothing was as pretty as the couple themselves, the newly married Wayne and Morgan Wanless.
