THE GOEBEL FAMILY

I adored photographing this family at their home in Annapolis, Maryland. Little Miss Meyer was just shy of 15 weeks in these photos. She had the best expressions and the biggest, most beautiful eyes! I also loved her red hair and gorgeous nursery. Congrats to the proud and happy parents! : )

I wish I could say I caught this moment by accident but no....no, their pup STRETCHES ON CUE. How amazing is she?!

How amazing is this nursery?!

We walked down to the water for a couple of snaps outside -- it was a beautiful day.

BELLY + BLOOMS

As of today, I'm 39 weeks and ready to meet our lil' lady. : )  And I am seriously LOVIN' all of the blooms in and around our neighborhood recently. Everything is just so incredibly gorgeous. On another note, this might well be my last blog update for a good while (!!!!!), as I'm officially going to be on maternity leave for ~6 weeks very soon (let's hope!). So I just wanted to give y'all a heads up: if you contact me about your wedding or a session here on the blog or via my portfolio site, I'm not ignoring you!... I'll most likely be snuggling or feeding or changing our newborn babe or trying to catch winks of sleep in the in-between time. Thanks for your patience, and I can't wait to introduce y'all to the wee one! Get ready for some over-sharing. ; )

HAYES: NEWBORN

I am excited to introduce to y'all today a precious newborn and his amazing parents. I've known Melissa & Jonathan since high school (and shot their gorgeous wedding on 10.10.10!), and they are just THE sweetest. I've become close with Melissa over the last couple of years, and I've shared in their personal journey to little Hayes. I am so excited for them, to say the least, and I was so honored to photograph their little boy! Meet Hayes at 10 days new. : )
