Families are special in so many ways and its always a challenge to get everyone together for a photo. This family is near and dear to me and so photographing them was not only a pleasure but a privilege.
Caleb is the son of Olivia and Guy. Olivia is one of my dearest friend’s daughter so I almost feel like an Auntie! I guess that would make me a great auntie…..never mind. I’m not ready to be a great anything just yet! Isn’t he precious?

I have known Logan’s mother for many years and was thrilled when she asked me to take her son’s senior portraits. The weather has not been cooperating with us so these are only his studio shots. Logan is an avid soccer and basketball player. He plans to pursue a career in firefighting in either the Air Force or civilian life. Best of luck to you Logan!

John is a senior at Urbana High and is in their International Baccalaureate program. He plans to major in either computer engineering or electrical engineering. He has lived around the corner from me for years and unfortunately I just met him! What a great guy. Good luck John!

Stunning photos, especially the second one! Love the colors.
I had the pleasure of sitting sidelines at the FCPS County Marching Band Festival on Monday night. What an amazing group of talented kids! Here is a collage of some of my favorite moments captured. My camera batteries gave out before my own band came onto the field, but it is a blessing in disguise b/c I actually sat back and watched the show and didn’t view it strictly through my viewfinder. All of these pictures (and a couple of thousand more!) will be made available to each band in the next few weeks as a fundraiser for Gov Thomas Johnson HS Band. Thanks to everyone who supports our music programs!

Thank you so much for taking pictures of our kids. They work so hard it is wonderful to document this special time in their life. My only problem is chosing which photos to get.
Callee, I’m glad you like them. I have three band kids of my own so I do truly appreciate how hard they work and how important music education is in the schools.
I just keep getting more and more fun kids to work with! Alyssa is another member of my famous Thomas Johnson High School Marching Band. In addition she has been a member of the concert band, jazz band and pit ensemble for all of the musical productions at TJ. She is planning on pursuing a career in music performance and is looking at Ithaca College in NY, Shephard University, Indiana University of PA and Towson University. I just can’t wait to hear what amazing music all of these talented kids are going to perform.

Love them – can’t wait to see the rest. And then I’ll have a hard time choosing.
Another proud member of the Gov Thomas Johnson High School band. Greg has participated in marching and concert bands as well as being a member of the indoor percussion line all four years of high school. In addition to his musical talents he also recently completed the requirements to become an Eagle Scout. He is looking at various universities and is thinking of pursuing engineering. Congratulations Greg!

Nick is the drum major for TJHS. He has also marched for the Jersey Surf Drum and Bugle Corp for the past two years.

Kyla is one of my daughter’s best friends so it was a particular joy to have her in my studio. Kyla is another amazing member of my beloved TJHS Marching Band. She plans to study music (the top picture wouldn’t have been a clue, would it?) and is currently entertaining Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Thank you Kyla for a fun afternoon!

Its nice to do something different from time to time. I enjoyed working with Ann to help her get a custom headshot. Working with a custom photographer allows you to spend more time getting exactly what you want and need. Thanks for letting me show you what I could do for you, Ann.

Love these Elaine! You truly are the best!
Perfect and sweet is what this little boy was. He never cried and although he was a tough one to get to sleep, when he did sleep he let me get some great pictures.
