VICKIE & WAYNE | KURTZ'S BEACH

in

The scenic waterfront venue of Kurtz’s Beach in Pasadena, Maryland was the perfect backdrop for the wedding of Vickie and Wayne, and what a blast this wedding was! The love between these two is evident.

From the gorgeous cottage where we were able to use the manicured lawns and grounds for formals, to the patio overlooking the water for the ceremony, how could we have anything less than stellar images?

I truly had fun shooting this wedding, and I am so grateful you trusted your special day to my lens. I have made some friends that will last much longer than the dancing at your reception! Kick those boots Wayne <3

Enjoy just a small preview of what this special day was:

AMY & CHAD | THE INN AT THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BEACH CLUB

in

The Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was the perfect cozy and warm backdrop for this January wedding of Amy and Chad. I was so honored to be a part of this special day for two really amazing people. Every detail was perfect, it made my job so easy. Then they hopped on the Jetty bus and drove on over to the bar on the water to celebrate with friends, family and their favorite band Alter Ego. I bet Chad that I could get Amy up on that light box, I hope it was a moment he will remember forever. Their first date was at the Jetty and I hope that we recreated a little of that magic.

I love you all and wish you many years of happiness. Take a quick peek at a few moments of their love story:

Siddalee Studios

After seeing the Keller's Bakery in Linthicum being gutted, I knew there was a perfect opportunity to turn this historic bakery into a custom photography studio! The huge open warehouse space and the adorable charming storefront matched my personality and brand perfectly. I salvaged as much as I could and turned ordinary bakery equipment into extraordinary decor! 

Months of hard work, physical labor, Pinterest searching and lots and lots of Pizza, and here we are ready to serve you portraits! I love the 1800 square feet that we call Siddalee Studios.

I could never have done this without my family, especially my husband who did all the hard construction work. Somehow he never looked at me like my ideas were too much, even when I said lets use faux brick, or that pastry encrusted whisk is the PERFECT light! My friends, especially Janet and her daughter, and my new friends at Aviation Velo, and Carmelo's - I thank you! You kept my spirits up, your stored my heavy tables, you helped me realize my dreams, you fed me when I was starving. And I am forever grateful.

This studio will make your portrait experience so much more unique, and will help save time as we have multiple amenities now. Come in and browse through all the unique props, have a cup of coffee, change in the dressing room, and utilize multiple backdrop stations. 

This place is a dream come true for me. Take a peek at my brand new studio space in Linthicum at 509 Camp Meade Rd, right down the street from BWI Airport.

Celebrate turning 1 in style!

I love One year birthday celebration photo sessions! Even more so when my tiny clients first shoot was a newborn session with Siddalee, and a year later they return for their birthday photoshoot. One year sessions capture a major milestone in your little one's life. These sessions can be simplistic, styled, fun, or smashing! We play with balloons, have cake, or just capture a fun portrait. Remember you are only 1 once, so capture those memories with photos! (And then print them out.)

I schedule birthday sessions well in advance. Book your spot soon to ensure you reserve that milestone date with my studio! I also love documenting your parties on location as well, so please contact me for details.

Here are a few 2016 birthday babies I have had in the studio to celebrate by snapping their special portraits!
