Maryland Family Photography // Multi-Generation Session // Rockburn Park - Howard County, MD9/5/2017 When it comes to photography, you can think up almost any reason to hire someone to take your photos. One of my favorite stories from photography team Amy and Jordan Demos is that of the doggie yoga birthday party they photographed! Who would have thought? But the photos sure did turn out cute! In the case of Sarah and her family, they didn’t need to invent any excuse to take photos. This is a big year for a lot of people! For starters, she had a baby this year! His name is Elliott and let me just tell you, he pretty much stole the show. Taking 6 month photos of him would definitely have been reason enough! In addition to the arrival of their happy little guy, Sarah and her brother Ben turn 30 this year. Their Dad turns 60. And their grandmother turns 90! That just works out so perfectly, doesn’t it? My sister is a math teacher and I pretty much immediately texted her when I got the email. All those pretty numbers, right in a row! Trust me when I say it looked even better in person! Being August in Maryland, it was, of course, quite a hot and muggy day. With a 6 month-old and his two great grandmothers, it could have been tricky to keep everyone comfortable. But we found a lovely shady spot at Rockburn Park, and I can honestly say, that not a single person complained. Not even Elliott! Everyone just seemed so happy to be with each other. That’s understandable seeing as there were several family members there from several different states. We had visitors ranging from New York to Florida! Somehow, even with all the travel, everyone looked completely fresh and put together. I absolutely adore the white and navy color combination they chose. Sometimes getting the right blues can be tough, but they nailed it! I love how crisp and summery it ended up looking. Nobody, myself included, could get enough of little Elliott. There were only a few photos that he didn’t make it into! He seemed a tad surprised when we set him down on the blanket to take some photos on his own. Afterall, there were certainly not a lack of people who were willing to hold him! Unsurprisingly, he turned on the charm for his individual shots. He even sat up unassisted for several long moments! With all of the adults cheering and clapping, he might have been too distracted to realize he was doing it! This entire group made me feel so welcome. When we ended, we all stood for a few minutes chatting, not really wanting to head back to the cars. With the good conversation and cool, shaded grass, I felt like we all could have sat down on the blanket with Elliott and hung out for a picnic. It’s moments like these that make me grateful for what I do. I not only got to capture these important milestones for a beautiful family, but I got to be a part of and experience it myself as well.
