Kira Huber Class of 2011-Senior Session

Here are some awesome images of Kira for her senior portraits, shot down in the historic district of Frederick Maryland. One part of my job that I love is meeting new people especially seniors and hearing about their goals and dreams. Here are a few of my favorite from the session.

McCrillis Gardens-Children Session

Have you ever seen bluer eyes? What a cutie! Photographed at MeCrlllis Gardens. Tucked away in a neighborhood just around the corner from Montgomery Mall. It's owned and run by Brookside gardens but much smaller and quite. 

Caroline & Michelle-Tween Session

So I did a session lately of two young girls, Caroline and Michelle and their horses. Well I met them at the stables and I photographed them doing their riding lesson.  I learned that day how hard riding a horse is, and if your like me and don't know your left from your right, it would probably be close to impossible. Well this lesson was learning how to jump. I was tense for the girls the whole time. I watched and saw how patient Michelle  was  and how everything has to be perfect while riding. Poor Caroline got thrown off her horse, I gasped and then was shocked how quickly she got up knocked the dirt off and jumped back on. I looked around at the mothers and they were not the least bit shocked. I was amazed, I asked her about it after the lesson and she shrugged her head and said that she has been thrown off a hundred times. May I point out the girl is like 13!  I personally was amazed and that day I learned that I might have had a desire to learn to ride a horse, but not any longer.... well at least not learn to jump. So here is a few images of the beautiful strong girls, Caroline and Michelle 

I'm Back!!

After a week long road trip with my parents (yeah, I'm cool like that) to New England to visit several  family members who I never met and learn about my family's history, and also visited a close friend who I went to college with in Arizona. We did amazingly fun things and saw beautiful places like the Cape of Mass. the island of Nantucket,  Provincetown (P'town), Salam (where the witches are), Rockport, and Gloucester,Massachusetts (the the Gordon fish sticks are made there). Here are a few pics that I will cherish a lifetime. 

Here we are in Nantucket

How adorable is this child! He was decked out in the cutest boy clothing which is hard to find, suspenders, hats, and the cutest t-shirt (one of which was made by the mother using an awesome technique called "Freezer Paper Stencil" Here are a couple links she gave me that have examples!
