Because Everyone Wants To Be A Photographer.




Promise not to laugh? Good. After a beautiful newborn session with my bestie's sweeter-than-sweet baby girl over the weekend, I've finally found the cajones to share my love for photography and squishy newborns with well, everyone in Maryland/Virginia area. 

Meet my newest baby little joys. photography.

You know, since I'm up to my eye balls in First Birthday Planning, I haven't quite gotten around to the logo-making and blog-setting-up. And by logo-making, I mean.. finding someone willing to deal with my Crazy and make me a logo. And a blog header. And all that jazz. 

You see, I love photography. I love capturing those fleeting moments that you may never experience again, or yet, those moments you can't wait to experience again. And having had a teensy-tiny baby of my own {who is just about to turn ONE!!!!} and watching first-hand how quickly they grow, I love having a behind-the-lens front-row-seat to the show, if you will. 

Capturing newborns, babies and children in their element, their sweet, innocent, wonderland.. just makes my heart swell. 

Sure, my little "hobby" is still in its infancy. Do I have plans to become Baltimore's leading Natural Light Children's photographer? Heck no. But do I want to be able to offer my services to family, friends and friends of friends and their friends? HECK YES. 

So? Indulge me, if you will. Cross your fingers and wish me luck. And? While you're at it? Click that picture and sneak a speak at the rest of Hailey Madison's Newbie Sesh! 

Happy Monday, Loyals!

    I "liked" the fb page, love the pics. Hehe and the baby makes me think of thanksgiving dinner, but I could just have turkey and mashed potatoes on the brain.

    So excited for you - it's going to be awesome! I'm already angling for a T2i and a 50mm 1.4 lens for my birthday :)

    I don't want to start a business, but I don't want to pay outrageous photographer fees for the next 20 years! So, really, it's SAVING MONEY.

    Right?
