I had the pleasure of photographing Uva's senior portraits on Sunday evening! We got REALLY lucky and were able to squeeze the session in before Hurricane Sandy intensified the rain and wind, which is all the better since Uva wanted her session to capture the beautiful fall colors in western Maryland! If we had rescheduled, Hurricane Sandy surely would have stripped the last remaining leaves from their branches and we would have been left with twigs for her backdrop.
Despite the impending rain and wind, Uva and I had a great time. We braved the elements (you can see the rain starting in her final photo below!) and found some gorgeous backdrops full of the rich fall colors. I really enjoyed getting to know Uva a little more as we chatted through her session. She's got ambitious plans that include following her mother's footsteps through med school -- and beyond. I know she's got the smarts to make it, and she proved during our session she can really endure anything that's thrown at her. I can't wait see her develop into the talented and successful doctor I know she'll be!
If you haven't noticed lately, the leaves are all sorts of shades of orange, yellow, and red, and the sky is a crisp, bright blue. It's fall photo season, and it's my absolute favorite time of year! :)
I had a great time with the Patterson family at Meridian Hill Park - and luckily we got our session in before Hurricane Sandy hits the area! This family was so fun to work with - upbeat, energetic, and wonderfully nice. It was clear from the get-go that these guys had a great goofy streak and love to laugh. Lauren and Aiden spent their time running up and down the fountain stairs, jumping on dad, and squeezing in a few family portraits between hide-and-seek sessions. Here's a peek into our session!
I am so pleased to help Wendy and Jake announce the arrival of their new little one, Jack! He is such a sweet, easygoing little guy, just like his parents. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with him and his squooshy face and curious eyes! His big "brother", the family dog Max, also made an appearance for us. Max was quite the attention-grabber, and made sure we knew who was the real star of the show. He was definitely curious about his new brother, and I have a feeling that these guys will have a long and energetic friendship!
