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.
