Finding the light

This past weekend, my family and I attended the first birthday party of the daughter of one of my husband's former coworkers. She was a total sweetheart, despite getting a molar (or two), which was causing a bit of pain.

The party was in a community center near Chesapeake Beach, and the room had a full wall of windws along one side. I was playing on the floor with the kids and caught this shot of Miss B, one of the birthday girl's cousins, during the party. I was so excited that 1) I caught her still, because she was all over the place, and 2) that she happened to be against the white wall with the sunlight coming through the windows and highlighting her lovely eyes.

She is a total sweetie and gave my little guy a big hug before we left the party. He wasn't sure what to do about that, but it sure was cute!

Maternity pictures at Lake Elkhorn

At the beginning of August, I did my first maternity shoot -- well, at least that wasn't of the self-portrait variety. I met Katy at Sonia's first birthday party, and soon after that we started talking on Facebook about doing a family picture shoot after her baby arrives. Then we decided that maternity pics sounded fun, too.

So I met up with Katy and her husband John at Lake Elkhorn, and we played a bit on the bridge and by the water and on a rock. They are so sweet and fun -- I just know they are going to be amazing parents to their little Sam when he gets here (which should be very, very soon now!).

Thanks again to Katy and John for letting me capture this unbelievable time in their lives!
