A Wedding Overlooking the Chesapeake Bay | Herrington on the Bay | Maryland Wedding Photographer

You might remember this couple from an e-session last year right before we were moving to NY.  Well, I had the pleasure of going back to Maryland to photograph this gorgeous wedding overlooking the Chesapeake Bay! And even more beautiful was this couple.  The pictures will speak for themselves, but just look at how in love and happy they are!  Hope you enjoy!

First look!

My little guy is growing up too quickly!  Getting him to sit still for any amount of time is pretty much non-existent, but I was able to bribe him with a popsicle held above my head to get some quick photos of him!

And while on vacation, I got to take some pix of some great families!

Family Vacation | Marco Island, FL | Julie Marie Portraits

We had our annual trip to Marco Island, and we had the best time!  Jake especially loved the time he got to spend with his cousins!  It was nothing short of fun, sun and relaxation! 

Just Us & Some News | Julie Marie Portraits | Personal

Hi Everybody!  Again, I have to apologize for the lack of blog posts, but it's been rather crazy here!  We're expecting baby boy 2 in December, and we found out we are relocating yet again to the Chicago area!  My hubby is already there, so that means I get to be a single parent for a while!  Boy, do I miss my hubby, but I'm so proud of him and for the opportunities that we get because of him!  

Here are a few pictures from our weekend in Michigan!  Jake just loves his cousins, and he got to see "work fires" for the first time!  (Translation:  fireworks)  He was amazed and asked nonstop where the work fires were!  Oh, how I love my boy!! :)

Up first...the three musketeers!  Of course, Jake wouldn't look at the camera because I think he was watching some "cool" movie with his cousins!  He thinks his cousins are the absolute coolest and wants to be with them at all times!  Love them!!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture of Jake and Papa!!  He LOVES Papa, and tells me everyday that he wants to go to Nana & Papa's.  He spent so much time in the water with Papa...just jake and papa....and he loved every minute of it!  He and Papa were catching "fishy rocks" aka rocks and throwing them!

And we were quite sad to say goodbye to Daddy as he was heading to Chicago and we were heading back to Rochester!  He loves his daddy so much, and he can't quite figure out why daddy has to work so much!  The good thing is is that he LOVES talking to him on the phone, and it's just so cute to hear his little voice have a conversation with his daddy!

And that's all for now folks.  The wedding season is winding down, which means my editing is getting caught up.  One of these days, I will blog all of the gorgeous weddings that have taken place since April!  And of course, I need to post some kiddos' sessions on the blog!  Until then, have a great week!
