Some photo sessions just feel extra special, and this one at Brookside Gardens was definitely one of them. This sweet family—two loving parents and their energetic toddler—brought so much joy to the day. Brookside Gardens, with its colorful wildflowers, peaceful paths, and the cutest wooden bridge, was the perfect place for them to play, laugh, and connect.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this amazing family three times now. Seeing them grow and change has been one of the highlights of my career. They are not just clients to me; they’ve become like friends. This latest session was all about creating stunning wall art for their home, capturing those fleeting moments of joy and togetherness that families cherish for a lifetime.

As a photographer in Woodstock, MD, I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such amazing families across central Maryland including Howard County, from Ellicott City to Columbia, MD. Each photoshoot is a new adventure, a chance to freeze a moment in time for families to cherish for years to come.

Keeping up with a energetic toddler is hard. It’s even harder while you are pregnant with your second. However, baby bump photos with a toddler are just super adorable! We are so glad that we can help this lovely mom to preserve these precious moments. Every single photo becomes priceless as time passes and things change.

The nosey-nosey kisses, walking by your side with her little hand grapping tightly on your fingers, those giggling while you pretend to chase him around, snuggling closely and leaning her head onto your shoulder, these sweet moments are priceless and will help you and your little ones to remember and relive this unique stage of life that you shared for years to come.

Getting the best from your children and capturing beautiful natural expressions for photos to cherish forever is what a professional family photographer was trained to do and deliver, and that’s the value of hiring a pro family photographer.
