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.
