A nice young man, Joshua, came to me from Dundalk and needed some head shots and full length shots to start his modeling portfolio. Despite having to be pulled away from his Xbox to come to the session, Josh had a really good time during the shoot. Josh was all smiles and had a really great young look. He was also very inquisitive about all the lighting gear and I was happy to take the time and explain the purpose of all the different tools. If modeling doesn’t work out, he may pursue a career in photography and become a photographer.

A very beautiful woman from Columbia, Lindsay, needed some head shots and full length shots for her upcoming audition with the Washington Redskins. She came to our Aberdeen studio where we rolled out the white seamless paper and set up the studio lights. Lindsay had a great smile and an even better personality. We had each other laughing almost the entire shoot which resulted in really fun and natural shots. I really try to convey a relaxed atmosphere in the studio because I think that if models are comfortable, their best faces and expressions will come out.

I first met little Liam in his Mom’s belly one month ago at their home in Elkton, MD. His Mom was so happy and pleasant being pregnant and very accommodating during the maternity photo session. It’s not always easy for pregnant woman to get up and down and change positions so I made sure that my poses were very linear and I didn’t have her jumping from standing to laying down and back to standing up. Regardless, Mom was happily complying with all of my requests and she made the photo shoot a great session. Two days after my visit, little Liam was born. I was very thankful that I had gotten to photography his pregnant Mom before she delivered because it really makes a nice addition to the nursery to see before and after prints on the wall.

Fast forward a month and I get to visit the happy family again in their home in Elkton, MD and photograph the beginning of their family. Like his Mom, Liam was so pleasant and looking all around during the session. He never even wimpered and he seemed to be really interested in the photography gear that was all around him. Newborn photography can be tricky when you are dealing with nude an “all-natural” child but Liam was such the little gentleman and showed some self-control.

It was a real pleasure being there for their beginning and I look forward to seeing more of the happy family.
