Baby V.'s "Watch Me Grow" Photography Session Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown MD

Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown MD Baby Photographer, Newborn Photography, "Watch Me Grow" Sessions

This family is certianly one of my favorites to photograph. I first met Baby V. when she was just 12 days new, for her newborn photography session. This was her three month "Watch Me Grow" session.

I am truly amazed at the calm and quiet in a household, with 4 kids, 2 cats, a dog, birds, 2 fish and 4 hermit crabs! I was super excited when I realized Baby V.'s three month birthday fell on Christmas Eve. Her house is absolutely gorgeous and I was totally looking forward to seeing it decked out for Christmas!

Her older siblings all wanted to hold her and it was obvious how much they enjoy their baby sister.

It was the dreariest day, but we had so good light in her beautiful nursery. I firmly believe that there is nothing sweeter than a baby in a basket:)

If you follow my blog you know I require a picture of mom and baby. Dad was at the session too so I was able to capture this sweet moment.

So after about a month of indecision, I finally purchased my dream camera. I wasn't totally sure how life-changing it would be until it arrived. I waited all day for the UPS man to come and when he did I was almost having a panic attack. My heart was pounding and I was shaking as I opened the package. I was totally afraid to even try it. I think I was less freaked out, when I held my first baby for the first time.

Oh, and when it arrived my boys were in the tub. That is where they stayed as I was having my panic attack. It was the dreariest day ever, so not the greatest for trying out the new camera. I let the boys know that they could watch TV until Daddy came home, so watch they did, naked except for underwear/diaper.

I had a photography session scheduled the next day, so I had to decide if I was going to be prepared to use the new camera... I was madly reading my manual and trying to snap pictures of the boys, who only wanted to stare at the TV.

I did end up using my camera the nest day on my shoot. I can't show much because they are surprise pictures for a Christmas card. You totally couldn't go wrong with these gorgeous sisters. Despite the fact that it was windy and freezing temperatures they were amazingly photogenic.

Today we had a snow day. Basically our third one in a row. I am getting a little stir crazy, as are the boys, but what else are you gonna do but go play in the snow!

Photographer Frederick Maryland Jennifer Riley Photography Baby V.

Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown, Maryland Newborn Photography Watch Me Grow Session

Baby V. is one of my Watch Me Grow, clients, so I will get to photograph her and every three months, until she is one! This was her first session and she was 12 days old.

Gotta love photographs of a baby in a basket!

Baby V. was the perfect model. I love that we got a few sleepy shots and some showcasing her gorgeous blue eyes.

And the obligatory baby foot image:)

Baby V. modeling the gorgeous diaper that her talented mother made for her.

I was blown away by her mothers skill as a mother of four. Her home was gorgeous, she totally missed her calling as an interior designer! Her other kids were so sweet and wanted to watch the session. It was obvious that they were quite taken by their new baby sister.

Family Photography Frederick MD Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown Maryland

Photographer Frederick, Maryland--Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown, MD

I me up with this gorgeous family in Middletown, Maryland for their family photography session. One of may favorite things is to photograph is my friends.

I've known this family for a long time. We have been to each others weddings and now our kids are friends. Sadly, now that we both have two kids we are so busy that it was great to get to spend some time catching up and capturing some amazing photos.

The girls loved the horses at the farm, and the cat (luckily they didn't notice him eating a mouse) and all the dogs.

Seriously their beauty and the love just kills me. What a dream to photograph.

I always require some photographs of mommy and the girls.

Newborn Photographer Frederick MD Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown MD

I have been waiting to do this photography session with Baby S. for a long time. Her big sister is my muse, and the first child, besides my own, that I photographed when I got my new camera.

This was the second attempt at this photography session at my home/studio in Middletown, MD G. is pretty much my boys BFF and last time we attempted to combine a photography session and a play date and it just did not work out.

Don't get me wrong, I am usually far more professional than this, but sometimes when you are working with friends, especially friends who live an hour away, scheduling a session gets tricky (plus sometimes us moms like to have time to hang out with the kiddos) .

This session was done while G. and Cooper were at preschool and Even though I had Cass with me he was quite happy to help out setting up my photography equipment, entertain baby S., eat cold pizza and watch a show while I did the photo shoot.

The photograph above is Baby S. Wearing her mom's old baby dress!

It's not typical to get sleepy shots of a 2 month old baby, but Baby S. decided she was over her modeling session and it was time for a snooze in mommy's arms.

And we finish with my obligatory mommy/ baby image! These are the shots that are nearest and dearest to my heart:)

Photographer Frederick MD "Watch Me Grow" Photography Session Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown Maryland

I first met Baby E. when I photographed her as a newborn. I had just decided to see if I wanted to expand to be a newborn photographer. She just may have been to one to persuade me to go in that direction. I think I have yet to have a baby be such a perfect model.

Fast forward six months... I decided to offer "Watch Me Grow" sessions. Here she is at her second, of three sessions. She is the sweetest baby.

We had to get a photograph of Baby E. and her dog. Lucky. The are totally best friends:)

Sweet baby, smiling for her pictures!

I have a now "policy" I require moms to let me take a photograph of them and their child. I recently lost a dear friend and among many things it made me realize how important it is to have mommy and me photographs. I scheduled a session for my family right away. So often the moms are the ones taking the photographs, and between that, and the fact that moms have a tendency to be self-conscious, and self-critical (I am so guilty of all of this...) there are way too few pictures showing the mommy-baby love. I feel like having a photography session is a little life insurance policy. You may think that is being a little dramatic, but you just never know... Ok I'll hop off my soapbox now. Well, book a session. They just grow up too fast.

Sweet baby E. was wiped out from her session and fell asleep on her sweet mommy:) Love it.

Photographer Frederick MD Jennifer Riley Photography Middletown Family Photographer

This is my second time working with this family and I am always flattered when people are happy with Jennifer Riley Photography and ask me back again. Two months age I photographed newborn baby K.

This time I was working with baby K.'s older brother. I knew he was 14 and into basketball. but when I saw him I was shocked at the fact that he was 6' 1"!

We started off with his causal portrait shots in the beautiful Middletown Park.

I have a new rule...I insist on having a shot of mom in every photography session. I know that moms typically don't like to be photographed, but I feel that is is so important.
