These boys are seriously the cutest. I met this mama when she was pregnant with the twins, and I've loved watching them grow from a family of 4 to 6. If anyone can pull it off, it'd be Lindsay. Enjoy their adorableness!

{Maryland Family Photographer} The Stays
When we first moved to Maryland, I struggled to make friends. I'm a bit shy and don't put myself out there too often. Well somehow Jeanna found my blog and thought, "Hmm. I bet we'd make a good pair of friends." And boy was she right - she's been such a blessing to me! I'm so glad we met this awesome family who is full of fun, laughter, quirks, and joy. We love the Stays.
Poor Addra turned sad....she was so done by the end of it. Even with animal cookies to bribe her. Who can resist this pout, though?? (And let's not forget upside-down Coriel in the background, having a ball).
Lastly, Jeanna is an aspiring author, one who will soon be published - I can feel it in my bones. So I just had to sneak in one head shot for her, when she wasn't looking (well, she's obviously looking, but I still snuck it in)

Axton {Maryland Child Photographer}
I gave myself a present this week.
The last time I did a formal, hour-long photo session with my son, he was 3 months old. Sure, I take snapshots of him nearly everyday, and maybe I will edit one or two of them, but a real photo session? I just don't allow myself time for that often enough (I'm sure for any other photographers out there, you understand where I'm coming from).
First, I dressed him up cute, told him to behave and smile at the camera. I was the Mom, not the photographer. Then I switched roles, turned off Mommy mode, and became the photographer. I set up my crate, and chased him around and danced like an idiot to get him to smile at me. We went to the duck pond and the park, and I just kept shooting. I didn't get mad at him when he didn't listen. I let him lead the way - just like I do with any other session. After the 60 minutes were over, I thanked myself and said I should be seeing a CD in the next week or two. Then I got busy editing. I gave myself the same treatment I give my clients: Carefully selecting and editing, and now POSTING! As my final step in my gift to myself, I will print and hang my favorites in my home.
It was a great learning activity for me - to be on the other side. To know what it's like to be treated by me, the photographer! I hope my clients know they can always come to me and tell me what would improve their experiences with m.rose photography - I am learning just like the rest of us!
Anywho, enjoy these photos of my lovely client, Axton.
