I sure had fun photographing the family. They love each other as you can see here. They were all so nice and so helpful, always offering what they could do to help me. I felt like I had so many assistants that day. 
What a lovely family.
The family photography session was supposed to be done in August, but due to bad weather, the session had to be rescheduled twice! It sure was worth the wait though. We had gorgeous weather because it was not hot.
Later in the day, we saw that a storm cloud was coming our way. However, for some reason it just passed away without trickling a single drop of water. Then later on after the photo session, we realized that it had rained elsewhere even in other parts of Edgewater, Maryland, but not where we were. I heard that it rained so hard that people at the Annapolis Mall movie theater could hear the pouring rain hitting the roof! We felt so blessed!

Kelly was a senior from Kent Island High School. She loved to play volleyball and even supported the school’s volleyball team. Kelly also loved almost anything that had to do with water sports like swimming, boating, tubing, and crabbing… oh wait…
Well anyway, Kelly wanted to do the senior photo session months ago. Unfortunately, it was just about a couple of months away from her graduation, and of course all seniors were really busy at the time. Still, she really wanted to do the photo session and have her pictures at this stage of her life immortalized. So we did the session in Summer, after everything winded down a bit.
Here are some of my favorites.

Introducing the Skrincosky family.
The Skrincoskys wanted a family portrait before their son got bigger. They wanted to have a memory this stage of their son, of the family, done professionally. So they asked me whether I could do it before summer. Luckily I had a couple of spots left to do their session during this busy wedding season.
We were blessed with a good weather that day. It was a bit hot, but at least it wasn’t raining like the day before. The only problem doing the session on the beach was the bugs. Yes, there were quite a lot of them. But you wouldn’t see it here, and couldn’t tell by looking at these happy pictures if I hadn’t told you.
Well it’s my job to make my clients look great.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites.

Here is Mindy and her horse pet, Lemon.
Mindy and I have been wanting to do a photo session for over a year (I think), but never got a chance until just recently. Thank goodness for the great weather for that day on autumn. Not to mention I just love the foliage colors in Fall. So the timing was actually perfect.
Lemon was 6 years old, which Mindy told me that’s about teenager for horse’s age. Lemon used to be a race horse and raced at Penn National. Mindy got her after she was retired from racing due to injury. Bless Mindy’s heart.

Sam’s Mom wanted a picture of her daughter, Sam, and Sam’s half sister, Jackie with summer outfits. She wanted the children photo session before the leaves turned color. Well, it was officially already Fall about two weeks ago. But guess what. She got her wish! The weather became hot again that day for the photo shoot. If I remember correctly the temperature was in the low 90s or upper 80s.
Here are some of my favorites from the photo session.
Here is Sam…
and here is Jackie…

I get a sudden last minute influx of clients wanting to do all kinds of photo sessions for this September and October for wedding, engagement, children, commercial, and family. I’ve been so overwhelmed, but it’s all good of course.
Anyway, here’s a candid family session of the Norris family at Eastern Shore, Maryland, Kent Island.
I’ve known them for a while because my son and theirs go to the same school and like to play together.

The Riggins family would be the first family in my neighborhood or even my community that asked me to have their family portrait done professionally. They’re also the first family to ask me to do a maternity session. I’m happy and honored that they trusted me to do this.
So here are some of my favorite images from the session we did at Kent Island, Maryland.

I actually found Don Giannatti’s workshop site by accident. I was trying to find a certain lighting technique and was pointed to his site by Google. I read about his workshop and became interested. I had been to few lighting workshops/seminars but Don’s was more in-depth, two-days, and priced reasonably. Not to mention that there was one workshop that was nearby, Baltimore.
I found out later that the one in Baltimore was the advanced workshop. I could still do it, but I really wanted to learn about the different strobes and modifiers, and how they would affect the lighting quality. Fortunately, Don was kind enough to give me and few others a “catch-up” session the day before. So it was more like a three-day workshop for me.
Here’s one image I took on the last day. We used 5 speedlights on this setup.

I got a last minute call from a family whom I photographed the past summer (same year). They wanted me to do another session on Tilghman Island, but just the children this time. They wanted the pictures for Christmas.
Unfortunately, they could only do it on the same day where I already had two sessions! However, the first session with Adele the book writer, was very early in the morning, and the engagement session would be late in the afternoon. So I was able to squeeze in another session for that day later in the morning, which works pretty well for all of us.
