Miss Bella Rose graced the world with her presence on March 1, 2013. All 7lbs of her.
When I met Bella for the first time my first thought was "Oh my goodness, she's tiiiiinnny!!" Considering the newborn I have recently been around was my 9+lb daughter, there's no wonder I thought she was itty-bitty.
We were able to capture a few images of Miss Bella during the 4 hour long session. But she was wide awake and had a different agenda than we did. She was busy checking everything out and we just wanted a few sleepy pictures. She also would have much rather stretch her arms and legs out than be tucked into a swaddle of any kind. She surely gave me a run for my money! The second time I arrived to finish up Little Miss' session, she was ready for us. She slept like a dream, which was surprising considering she was over a week older than she was when we first met each other. ;)
Welcome to the world, Bella! I feel totally honored that I was the one to capture your first days. You're absolutely gorgeous dawling!
How exciting is this?!? I know I'm super stoked!
This years spring family mini sessions are going to be AMAZING. Do you want to know how I know that? Because I've been blessed to team up with Southern Comfort Berry Farm located in Bushwood, MD - who have so graciously agreed to allow us to use their farm as the location for these sessions.
When you think of Spring's arrival, what comes to mind? Warmer weather, the shining sun, new life, fresh air. That's what I think about! And this year I plan on welcoming Spring with open arms. So offering a family mini session while picking fresh, locally grown strawberries and enjoying the farm animal petting zoo was my way of opening my arms to usher Spring our way. Not only will you be allowing me to capture special memories for you and your loved ones, but you'll also be supporting a local farm. And I'm definitely a strong believer in supporting our local small businesses. :)
The date we chose for this years mini sessions was chosen for two separate reasons. 1 - It'll fall during the peak time of year to pick local strawberries (YUM!). And, 2 - it's around Mother's Day! So bringing mom out to pick strawberries, make memories with her family and have a beautiful keepsake of her special weekend will ensure that she feels the day was made to celebrate her.
Here are the details:
Where: Southern Comfort Berry Farm, Bushwood, MD
When: Saturday May 11 & Sunday May 12
What you'll receive: a 30 minute family lifestyle mini session featuring strawberry picking and enjoying the farm animal petting zoo, images burned to a custom designed DVD and a FREE 16x20 canvas print featuring an image of your choice from your session (canvas print is a $90 retail value!), and a custom designed Facebook Timeline Cover image

Additional information: A Facebook sneak peek of your images will be made available so you can share them with friends and family almost instantly.

Your images will be edited and burned to a custom designed DVD and then delivered to your home by mail within a week of your session. Once you decide which image you would like as your canvas print image, please contact me ASAP so I can place your order. Please arrive promptly to your session.

Preliminary details of the lifestyle mini session: the sessions will
take place at a local farm in Southern Maryland where your family will
be able to freely walk around and interact with the farm animals and
pick strawberries. (I have reached out to a wonderful farm in St.
Mary's County and I'll release those details as soon as I've confirmed
with the farm.) This session is not posed. Instead, I will be
capturing images of your family interacting with each other, picking
strawberries together, interacting with the petting zoo animals while you're creating loving Spring memories. The sessions will be offered in
early-mid May and time slots will be announced soon!
Final
