Jonathan – Perry Hall Newborn Photographer
October 19, 2009 by steph ·
We would like you to meet another little newborn that we were so happy to finally meet and be able to photograph. This is Jonathan…
While this was our first time meeting little Jonathan, his family has visited the studio before. A few months ago we had the pleasure of photographing Jonathan’s Mom, Dad, and big Sister for Mom’s maternity session. You can read more about that session and see photos from the maternity portrait session here.
Jonathan was very agreeable and quite content having his photos taken. His big Sister, Andrea, did a wonderful job of looking after him and making sure that we were taking good care of him. He is a very handsome young boy, and is the perfect addition to his beautiful family.
Jonathan was another newborn who got to test out our new colorful fringie during his session. The babies are really loving all of those bright colors, lots of eye candy!
This next photo is wonderful. Jonathan’s Dad, Dan, could not be any more proud to have a son. Sure, he loves Andrea very much, and they have a wonderful relationship, but every Dad wants a son! (Right?!?) This photo is very expressive of the pride and happiness Dan feels toward his new son. Such a wonderful moment to capture.
And of course, we haven’t forgotten about Mom. Jonathan’s Mom, Jess, was also beaming with pride and happiness when they came to visit the studio. Here she is in the “before” and “after” stages of new motherhood. In this Maternity to Motherhood art piece, we get to see a glimpse of Mom still pregnant with her little guy and then we get to see them together after he arrived.
And, finally, nothing is sweeter than all those adorable, teeny, tiny baby parts! We love to showcase all those little bits and pieces that you quickly forget how small they actually are in a nice art piece for the families of our newborns. Just remember, Jess and Dan, he will never be this tiny again! Soak it up and enjoy it while it lasts!
It was such a pleasure to have Jess and Dan and their wonderful little family in the studio again. And we are so honored to be able to meet Jonathan and so happy for their family. We hope to have them back in the studio again in the future, maybe for some photos of Andrea and her baby brother Jonathan together!
Owen – Bel Air Newborn Photographer

Meet little Owen…
This was our first time to meet this adorable little guy, at least in real life. We had the pleasure of taking photos of little Owen when he was still a Baby Bump and had a wonderful time getting to know Owen’s Mom and Dad, Susie and Sean. You can read more about their href=”http://www.shawngrimesphotography.com/2009/08/susie-and-sean-bel-air-maternity-photographer/”>maternity session .
We were so happy to finally get to meet this little bundle of joy and he was so much fun to have in the studio. Sure, he was a little fussy, but we were asking him to lay naked in some weird props, far away from the love and warmth of his Mama. Who wouldn’t be fussy?!?!? Either way, Owen was a treat to have in the studio and we were able to take some beautiful photos of him at only 12 days old.
In the studio, we were most excited that we would be able to try out some new props we bought just for our newborn sessions. Owen loved the bright colors of our new fringie and seemed to be quite comfortable once we got him situated in the new baby cocoon.
However, even new props can easily become second fiddle to a sweet, little newborn baby. Owen is so loved by his Mom and Dad, and not to mention his adoring Mom Mom, who also accompanied Owen on his first visit to the studio. But boy, that feeling is so contagious! He is such a cutie and so enjoyable, that I am sure he will make everyone swoon for him for years to come.
What a beautiful family! Susie and Sean are so lucky to have such a wonderful gift in little Owen. And Owen is so lucky to have such a wonderful Mom and Dad!
Here are some of the art pieces that were created for Owen’s session.
Some of those you may have seen before with our newborn sessions. But this next one is a new type of art piece for us. I love the two photos together, one showing Mom still pregnant with Baby, and the next showing Mom and Baby together at last! I think you can definitely look forward to seeing more of these in the future!
Coleen – Sparrows Point Senior Portrait Photographer
October 8, 2009 by steph ·
We had the distinct pleasure of photographing this beautiful young lady for her Senior Portraits a few weeks ago.
Meet coleen, our first client for Senior Portraits. This was Coleen’s first time in the studio and we had a great time with her. First of all, the camera just loved her! She is gorgeous and we both felt so honored to have her in the studio and to be able to photograph her during this very special time in her life.
For the first part of coleen’s session, we headed outdoors to nearby Havre de Grace so we could photograph coleen near the water. These photos turned out even better than we could have imagined and it was a nice way for coleen to get comfortable and warm up to posing for the camera before we headed into the studio.
After we wrapped up outdoors, we headed back to the studio to finish out the session. coleen is a long-time dancer and, of course, wanted to highlight that in her Senior session. Around here, we are always impressed with people who can toe dance, so it was a special treat for us when coleen pulled out her toe shoes.
coleen is also an avid field hockey player and we wanted to showcase that in her session as well. It is so important to highlight all of the different aspects of a teenager’s life and our studio session provided us plenty of time to do this with coleen.
I love coleen’s “game face” in this one!
This is one girl who is on the ball! coleen has already bought her prom dress and we were lucky enough to be able to photograph her in this beautiful dress that Mom said she knew right away was “the perfect dress!” We were doubly excited because we knew we would get to use our new backdrop for her formal dress pictures. The combination turned out wonderful!
All in all, it was a very successful first Senior Portrait session for us. For coleen, we were able to capture many of the dynamic areas of her life that make her the wonderful young lady that she is. Hopefully, we were able to create images that will help her remember this fun and special time in her life. coleen, good luck in all your future endeavors!
