The Littlest McDaniel {Child Portrait} The Rocks, Picture Rock, Pa May 2012

This is such a fun age, caught between babyness and toddlerhood.  The littlest Miss McDaniel was shy at first, clinging to her mama’s knees earning tender hugs, but as you can see, by the end of her family’s session she’d shed all inhibitions, especially when the hem of her dress got wet.  They are only…

McDaniel Family {Family Portrait} Picture Rocks, Pa May 2012

Family.  Whether its and-baby-makes-three, or the just-stirring-the-pot, or the single-parent-pillar effect family is the amazing literal growth of love after they’re born and growing up right before your eyes.  Family shoots are near to my heart.  No matter how young they still are or how big they’ve gotten, family portraits are photos of right now, and right…

Megan {Maternity} January 2012

Maternity photography has to be my favorite trend in professional photography.  We can’t help but take pictures of our miracles, document that breath of time when they’re just newborns.  But, until recently, most women have avoided the camera “all big and pregnant.”  The curves of our female body have always been immortalized in art & maternity photography acknowledges…
