{ A Touching Newborn Portrait Session }

I was really touched when I took sweet baby Riley’s portraits.  Her Dad is in the military and has been deployed to Afghanistan for a year.  Nicole called me to capture Riley and her husband Ryan before his deployment.  What a sweet, beautiful family and what a touching moment looking through my camera at them.  

Nicole and Ryan decided to purchase my Baby Plan called “First Year Moments” - a fantastic way to capture your child’s amazing first year of life.  It includes a newborn session, 3 months, 6 months and a one year.  Nicole brought a sweet hat with Riley’s name on it and I was able to use a cute new hat I had recently purchased.  Thank you to Ryan for your service to defend freedom and thank you to all our troops for protecting us.  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Sydney's Outfit Changes }

Sydney is 9 months old… I just can’t believe it! What a fantastic portrait session, complete with a trunk full  of different clothes! Sydney’s Mom always comes well prepared with fabulous outfits and a vision of exactly what she is looking for out of her portrait session.

What a wonderful time we had together and I can’t wait to watch Sydney grow! www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Sweet Ella is Six Months Old! }

Sweet Ella and her family joined me for a Family Portrait Session at Living History Park one summer evening and what a beautiful night!  I met Ella’s family through the secretary at my children’s school, Cathey Ferrell.  

Ella is Cathey’s granddaughter and what a cutie-pie.  A special thanks to Cathey, who came along for the portrait session and was able to help me  get Ella to smile.  With Family Portrait Sessions, families receive individual portraits, along with the whole family.  Thank you to Marianne and RC for spending the evening with me!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ The Pruett Family and Their Smiles }

Melanie Pruett and I met when she was Brenna’s teacher at First Baptist Preschool! What a beautiful family and so full of energy!!  Melanie, her husband Sam and their daughters Olivia and Mia joined me at Hammond’s Ferry for a fun portrait session.

  

Olivia and Mia were just so very silly and would just giggle, giggle, giggle.  I had to enlist the help of an old trusted friend… the whoopee cushion… to get collective smiles on command and my good buddy didn’t let me down!  I just loved watching the girls read their books – I can’t help it – this just warmed the former teacher in me!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ A Well-Prepared Seider Family }

I cannot believe that it has been so long since this FABULOUS portrait session.  Back in May, the Seider Family, Keely, Charles, Kailyn and Cooper joined me in Hammond’s Ferry on a beautiful evening.  We used the burgundy couch as part of the session and… if I do say… didn’t it look fabulous??!!??  Keely and her family are repeat clients and Kailyn and my little “mini-me” Brenna are good buddies, so this was such a fun session for me.  

Keely came prepared with coordinated outfits AND a vision for what she wanted in her home.  She purchased nine 8x10 portraits to frame in her hallway.  I just LOVE IT when my customers come with a plan on where they are going to put portraits in their home.  And if you need some assistance, I will come to your home (with a special little treat) for a custom home viewing session.  We can work together to figure out where is best to place your new, beautiful portraits.  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Madeline is One! }

Happy First Birthday Madeline Ayres!  Can you even take all the cuteness?  I was so excited to have Madeline visit my studio for her Smash the Cake session to celebrate her one year birthday!  

Using natural light, studio lights, a pink backdrop and my white wicker chair, Madeline was the start of the show and a true delight to take portraits of and celebrate her big day.  

If you would like to capture your child’s big “Moments” during their first year, take a look at my “First Year Moments” Plan, which includes newborn, 6 months, 9 months and a 1 year cake smash sessions. 

In this "First Year Moments" plan you will receive 5 digital images from each session, a cake for your smash the cake session and 10x20 gallery mount storyboard that will include portraits of your choice from each of the 4 sessions to remember the whole year! This plan is $800 and can be paid all at once or in 4 installments. Prints and products are purchased separately.   www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Lovebug Skylar }

I just love portrait sessions with Skylar.  

Since she was born, I have been fortunate enough to capture such important milestones in her life and this session was no different.  

This very active one-year-old is as cute as a button.  We met at Brick Pond Park and were able to visit different parts of the park, which was important, because this little lovebug is walking and always on the go. 

Thanks, Skylar, for making my day and my job so easy!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info
