Another Gorgeous Sunset on the Magothy River

Tonight's sunset was absolutely beautiful. We were out sailing this afternoon and then just sailed around in the Magothy waiting for the sunset. I had a feeling it was going to be a beauty because I was watching the horizon line northwest of the sunset take on an amber color. My instincts were right. . . and the best part was after the sun went down; it continued to intensify with brilliant color for another 15 minutes or so.

Isabelle

I had a wonderful session with this beautiful, blonde-haired 5-year old. She was really sweet and I enjoyed photographing her because was really having fun. I also had the opportunity to photograph her new puppy, Fin. He is a yellow lab and I will be sharing some images of him later on. This is the image her grandmother got as a wall portrait, but in color.

Teddy BARE Baby

What a cutie! I love the hat, too. This image is from his 6 month session as part of his Baby's First Year plan. BFY is a wonderful way to capture the stages of your baby's first year of life. We have several different plans to choose from . . . call today to start your child's portrait history, before these precious moments slip away!

Sweet Baby James

Here is a sweet image that happened during his sister's portrait session. As she was changing into another outfit, he walked into the camera room and sat down on the floor for me to take his photo. It was the cutest thing ever . . . he had the most precious expression at that moment. It's funny how it happened because I had photographed his 2-year old session a couple of weeks prior and it was a little bit harder trying to get him to stay in front of the camera. This image just speaks to my heart!

Another Gorgeous Sunset in Annapolis

After I finished up with a client early this evening, my husband and I went downtown to the Chart House. We got there just as the sun was setting. I am so glad I took my camera because I would have been so disappointed if I would have not been able to capture the beauty of this evening's sky.

Sunset at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge

On our way back from the Annapolis Sailboat Show tonight, we were fortunate to be at the bridge just after the sun went down on the Chesapeake Bay. . . . it was such a beautiful sight. The perfect ending to a wonderful day.

Autumn Sunflower

Sunflowers are so bright and cheery. Just wanted to share an image I captured today while walking down a street in Frederick.

Madison turns 1!

I had the privilege of working with the dad of this precious one-year-old little girl recently. He wanted to surprise the mother with portraits for her birthday, which was yesterday. He even participated in the promotion and purchased the size 12-month dress I have listed in a post below on August 6, 2009. Here is one with the dress that I suggested. He even got the cake and balloons for the session!

In all my years of photographing children, he has been the first dad to go through all what he did to surprise someone! I thought it was the sweetest thing and I really admire him for that!

Ryan @ 2!

Another adorable 2 year old! Just look at this face. . . he is so precious. Mom couldn't believe I was able to photograph him and capture the images that I did get of him. It is always so rewarding to me when I exceed the parent's expectations!

Bryce at 2!

Here's a fun image from this adorable little boy's 2-year old session.

We had to reschedule to photograph him another day because he was not feeling well at all for his session. It was so cute when he came back the next week . . . he went directly to the tub we originally started with and picked up where we left off. How smart was that for a 2 year old!

Boys will be boys . . .

This session was a referral from another client who also has two boys. It seems to always be a challenge when putting two or more siblings together but more of a challenge when they are boys! I must admit, I did work really hard for this session. I am so pleased with the results we got and the parents were also very happy with their selection of images. This image was the wall portrait that they selected.

Newborn Baby Boy

Meet baby Nicholas . . . winner of a recent contest that was held by Vivienne Photography. The parents received a complimentary studio session and an 11 x 14 of the selected image.

Just 9 days old . . . this little guy didn't want to miss one moment. He would not fall asleep. . . no matter what we did to soothe him. I don't know how we managed to get this image, but we did! Thank you to Joe & Dawn for participating in our contest. I hope you enjoy this image of your precious little boy for many years to come!

Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse

We sailed past the Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse last week on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Just as we were passing it, I noticed a man came out from inside.

Apparently, the lighthouse is being restored . . . here's some info on the lighthouse:

How to earn a Complimentary Child's Portrait Session . . .

I am looking to expand my existing selection of children’s clothing for portrait sessions by offering an opportunity for you to purchase one of the selected items I have chosen. In addition to the complimentary studio portrait session, you will receive actual portrait credits for the full price paid in exchange for the item you purchased, to be applied to your portrait order.

Here’s how it works:

1. Select item you would like to see your child photographed in. I will be posting different items on The Blog . . . , as I find them. For my photographic style, classic and timeless looks work best but I may find something different than what I normally do. Keep checking back to see what is being posted.

2. Email us at viviennephotography@gmail.com to let us know what item and size you are providing.

3. We will make a session date and time once you receive your purchase.

4. Your studio session will be complimentary for this promotion. ($125 value)

5. In exchange for the item you purchased, you will receive full portrait credit for the amount paid for the item, plus any tax & shipping & handling costs. Please leave tags on and must not be worn prior to session. You must also supply the invoice of your purchase for our record keeping.

6. Your portrait order needs to be placed no later than 2 weeks after portrait session.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Tutu Cute!

Just wanted to share one of Caylee's session. She was 7 months old here and she was such a little sweetheart! Her mom is my framer and has loved the images I have taken in to be framed over the years. I can't wait to see how she framed her portraits and collages.
