MOPS Ocean Pines Community Church Chapter Fundraiser | Holiday Mini-Sessions, Dana Marie Photography

Loved having all of these cutie pies in my studio in one morning, Ocean Pines area Chapter of MOPS hosted a mini-session fundraiser to raise money for their MOPS Group.  This was a great opportunity for families to get a new holiday photo for their Christmas cards and for MOPS to raise a little money for their group.  I enjoyed all of the new faces I met that day and the kids sure kept me on my toes and in hysterics!!!

Baby Boy F | Nautical Patriotic Newborn Session | Dana Marie Photography

Loving all of these nautical themed props and shoots for newborns lately.  This little guy was nearly three weeks old for his newborn session and still slept much like a champ!  The anchor was something new I tried layering it with a wrap and some fir.  His daddy also has a coining business, Gray Water Ops which makes coins for distribution of fundraisers or commemoratives.  We did a couple of photos using coins from Daddy's work.  The patriotic photo above showcases a 9/11 coin which was used to raise funds for the American Red Cross.

This little one's big brother was excited to get in on the sibling photo action at the end of the newborn session.  I have had so many babies with thick heads of hair the past couple of weeks, it has been fun to work with.

Roar for a Cure Seacrets, MD | LLS Man of the Year Event 2014 | Dana Marie Photography

What an amazing event, lots of great food and so many business donated items for the silent auction to raise money for the National Lymphoma and Leukemia Society.  This event was called Roar for a Cure in honor of Ricky Kerrigan who is running for Man of the Year 2014.  The Kaleb Brown band and Galaxy Collective adorned the evening with their musical stylings and the event was very successful.  It was fun to take a few action images of the bands playing in the darkly lit venue.  The evening ended with a male and female date auction and it was a hoot to see live!
