I cannot believe that little Miss S just celebrated her first birthday. It just seems like yesterday that I did her newborn session. We went to downtown Grapevine and enjoyed looking at the trains and the gardens. It was a little windy and cool for our session, but I think she enjoyed being outside. What a beautiful young lady!

At the end of last month I was so honored and excited to attend the Savvy Photographer Workshop on the Waterfront. This was an amazing experience for me. We traveled to St. Michael’s, Maryland and stayed at The Inn at Perry Cabin. Does this look familiar? You may have seen it in the movie, “Wedding Crashers.”

The grounds of the Inn were perfect for a photographer.

This is the view from my terrace. A girl could get used to this.

This was an amazing experience, not only for the beautiful scenery, but also for the chance to network with leaders in the portrait photography industry and also other small businesswomen such as myself. We were taught by the likes of Jodie Otte, Marta Locklear, Mika Beth Edwards, and Melanie Mauer, among others.

The last day in St. Michael’s, we spent shooting around the Inn and the historic town. Here are some of the images I captured that day.

And on our way back to Baltimore to hop on our flight back home, my husband and I spotted this wonderful old barn. I’m a sucker for old barns, so I jumped out of the car on the interstate to capture this:

This was just such a wonderful experience!
