There’s nothing quite like a cold, rainy, drizzled day to get the blood flowing! We shot this at the John Dickinson Plantation down in Dover, Delaware.  It was rainy, but the weather was perfectly suited for these two kids, and I LOVE that their mom and dad are from the North Western US and the rain didn’t phase them a bit.  Trust me, I tried to reschedule (dude – it was COLD and WET, and under armour can only go so far!) but I’m so glad they talked me into sucking it up and shooting anyway.  Beautiful, beautiful.

Really it’s no exaggeration when I say that my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when this little darling was carried into my studio draped in a custom pink skull and crossbones blanket, wearing a custom zebra printed fuzzy jacket, and my heart nearly stopped when her gorgeous mom pulled a brown hat with a skull and crossbones symbol out for her to wear.  H E A V E N!

Beautiful baby.  Beautiful parents.  Fun was had by all!

It really is no surprise the styling that came with this little bundle… her mom runs a fantastic spa in Elkton Maryland.  Envy Spa and Salon is located off of Bridge Street and they offer amazing spa treatments from hair, to nails, to facials to massage.  Take a minute to check out their website and try it for yourself!

One of my new year’s resolutions is to cook more.  I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the process – the cleanup, the mixing, the waiting, blah blah blah… it’s all too much.  But, I’m giving it my all, and trying at least 1 new recipe a week.  This week’s recipe was AWESOME.  If they all went this easily I might just cook a little more. :)

Apricot Glazed Pork Chops

~~ Yum!!!





There are two things that get me really excited about photographing a maternity session:  1.  that awesome “glow” every pregnant woman has.  2.  when that pregnant woman shows up with something unique and interesting to wear.

We shot these in our Hockessin studio, and so many of them are too intimate to showcase here, but these are 3 of my favorites!
