I love when people bring their pups for me to photograph. Susan and Garry brought popcorn aka “poppy”, one of the most well behaved cuties I’ve ever seen, into DC for their engagement session. Photos with people and pets, sometimes reminds me of family sessions. I’m sure most people think of their puppies as their babies anyways, so why wouldnt you want them in your photos to remember!
On my double weekend I went off to Lansdowne to photograph Julie and Mike’s Wedding! As a photographer based in Annapolis, I seem to never shoot weddings IN Annapolis, thats okay, I love to travel! Especially for lovely weddings like this!

Ceremony/Reception: Lansdowne Resort
The Ceresville Mansion was the perfect setting for Christine and Scott’s wedding! Most, if not all of their wedding details were handmade in Brazil, where Christine’s family is from. I loved how organized and detail oriented they were, it made for a fabulous wedding day! Thank you for letting me capture your day!

Beautiful Ladies!
I’m a little behind on blogging, I’ve got tons of AWESOME new weddings and sessions to share! First, is my first wedding of 2009! Tristen and Chris are a fabulous couple I’ve known for a while now as I’ve been photographing their family events! I loved their personal, garden wedding, they let me have full range over portraits after it was all said and done so we got a little down and dirty dodging the goose poo at the gardens!

Ceremony/Reception: Brookside Gardens
she RAN down that aisle!
I have been offering boudoir sessions since I first started my photography business over 4 years ago, boudoir sessions have been growing in popularity so quickly! I do tons of private, group and marathon sessions a year! I love doing these special sessions, they are so fun, creative and I love making ladies feel gawjus! (in my best southern accent).
I’m finally going to be launching a separate boudoir website this summer! yayyy! I’ll also be doing a few more marathon sessions per year, instead of just the two that I do now! The next one will be held this August, and it’ll be more fabulous then ever before! :o) Booking will begin early July, every previous Marathon Boudoir Session has sold out in days, and I expect the same this time around!
I’m just so excited, are you?!
I wont be able to make it to her recital this weekend, but I’ll be damned if i dont get any photos of Riley in her adorable tutu on stage! I made sure to snap 3x as many photos at her rehearsal this week! Her class is doing a dance to Cinderella’s “A Dream is a Wish”, and for a group of 4 and 5 year olds they were pretty impressive! Especially my Riley, she took it oohhh so serious, and did such a fantastic job on stage, I’m such a proud mama!
Her cousins are doing the same dance, had to snap a pic of all 3 of them!
Hello, I’m Shelby and I’m a sunflare, backlit addict! A nice, sunny sunset session… my favorite! And look at this 1909 Model T they brought to the field, totally fun!
If you have a PORTRAIT SESSION or MEETING with me in the next 4 weeks, and I haven’t confirmed please email me. My calendars were wiped and I put everything back together by memory and back tracking emails. Thank you!! :o)
I shot two engagement sessions this weekend and Ann- Marie and Tom are getting married just next month! This was my first time at The Beach for an engagement session this year, and I’m glad to be barefoot in the sand again!
