Maryland Children's Photographer - Themed Fairy Portrait Photography

We had another beautiful themed children's fairy portrait session here at the studio in Port Deposit, Maryland this week. Some children don't want wings - just the woodland setting and a pretty fairy dress. That's just fine. We can always add digital wings, but these photos turned out so lovely, they don't need them!

 You can book enchanted fairy sessions year round at my normal portrait session pricing of $150, with print/digital packages starting at $250. However, I only offer limited edition themed enchanted fairy portrait packages, which include your session fee, an 8x10 portrait of your choice from an edited gallery of images and facebook posting of the chosen image for $79, a few times a year. The magic will arrive August 17th and 18th for the last time til 2014, so be sure to book your spot now by calling 410-378-4521, messaging me on facebook, or by email.

Don't have a fairy princess in your home? Superheros are swooping in August 24th to 25th.

Maryland Newborn Photographer - Simply Elegant Baby Portraits - Port Deposit Maryland Family Portrait Studio

It is so enjoyable to work with little ones in my new family portrait studio in Port Deposit, Maryland. I was honored to be able to create some simply elegant baby portraits for a sweet new girl the other day.

 
As a newborn photographer, I feel that the beautiful images I capture of your new addition should simply be about his or her tiny features and expressions. I have quite a few props, but love knit blankets, bonnets and other pieces that will still look wonderful in portraits passed down to your new baby's children and grandchildren. My favorite poses also always end up being those that have a classic, heirloom feel.

Looking for newborn portraits of your precious new bundle of joy? I recommend booking your baby's session for the week of your due date, as the best newborn photos happen during the 7 to 10 day time frame. However, as you can see from this sweet girl's session, we can still get some lovely newborn images of babies up to 6 weeks old if you've missed that time frame. We probably won't get sleeping baby in basket poses, but these classic portraits are still quite beautiful.

To schedule your Maryland newborn photography session, either on location or in studio, call 410-378-4521, email me, or message me.

What to Wear for Spring Portrait Sessions - Wardrobe Ideas for Family Portraits

Part of every successful portrait session is wardrobe styling. It can be really overwhelming to put together outfits for an entire family, so I like to provide some tips when you book your session. My biggest tip? You don't have to be matchy matchy any more. Pick a shirt, dress or skirt with a pattern or design you love and build the rest of the outfits around this piece. (Or if you want to hang portraits in a specific room, use that room's inspiration piece as your color wheel!)

Still not sure where to start? I've discovered some awesome guides on what to wear that have some great wardrobe options for families. Here's a perfect option for spring clothing for a family portrait. Pink, Kelly green and a great navy blue. The polka dot pattern of the little girl's skirt carries through to the older girl's belt and the inside of her sweater. (The skirt is the foundation piece for the entire wardrobe. Note how all the other garments match the colors in this cute little number!)

If you literally want this selection, you can shop Gap, Old Navy and Piperlime for the different pieces. However, I'd encourage you to make the look your own so you feel your best. So, if mom loves dresses, a pretty pink or green number would be amazing. If dad is positive he won't feel right in pink, he can choose to add a touch of green to his outfit instead.
