Lovely Mama to be Pregnancy Photos | Ocean City, MD | Dana Marie Photography

Loved meeting this sweet couple expecting their babe in June.  We chose an outdoor location that would give us some be achy looks and also a bit of a park feel.  The weather was perfect, we really lucked out with a gorgeous sunset and weather that wasn't too chilly for this evening shoot.

Ocean City MD Realtor Headshots, Isle of Wight | Business Photographer | Dana Marie Photography, Joan Montgomery

What a day!  The weather forecast called for nice weather but the sky told a different story all day long.  After a long day of rain this day was cloudy, dreary and drizzly through the better part of the afternoon.  About 3pm the rain went away and the sun peaked out just in time to dry up some of the wet grass...but not all.  The lighting could not have been better for this portrait session.  This beautiful woman wanted some gorgeous new business head shots and in a hurry and I was going to deliver rain or shine.  There were so many great poses to choose from, it was hard to narrow my favorites!

For those of you who have been on the fence about updating your business photo, especially when you are in a business where your photo is sometimes the only first impression you get to make, I want you to look at your photo online from an objective point of view and ask what it says about you.  Looking for a business professional, I would choose someone who cared about what image they chose to make that first impression with before I would choose a professional using a cell phone camera selfie or cropped snapshot.

Little Guy 9 Months | Easter Photos | Ocean Pines Photographer

 This little guy came to see me for his 9 month/Spring Session Photos.  It is amazing to see the difference between newborn, 3 and 6 months in these little guys when they come to see me for milestone photos.  I was happy to see the change just since December, he can now sit up and almost stand on his own.  I can't wait to see him at one year, hoping to recreate a very special set up from his newborn session.

Earth Day Maternity Photos | Berlin, MD | Dana Marie Photography

This pretty Mama is expecting her baby around Earth Day and we thought it would be cool to tie that into their maternity session.  We had a lot of fun trying on different colors and utilizing different backdrops to create a unique look for them.
