“Treat yourself” was the motto for this session! Kristyn runs a business, is a wife, a mom, and an inspiration! She came to me with a vision, and together we brought that vision to life! Kristyn wanted to celebrate her 40th birthday in style, and we did just that!

Iyari came into the studio to be photographed in celebration of turning 2! You can see how special the bond between mother and daughter is in these photos. The image below is one of my favorites from Iyari’s session. The way the light catches her eyes as she’s looking up reminds me of why I started photographing in the first place.

I have been photographing the Grimaldo family since big sister, Paola, turned one! But this time it was little brother Mateo’s turn to be in front of my camera! He loved splashing in the water and playing with the little rubber ducky that I provide for bath time. His curious little head tilts and his adorable smile made everyones hearts melt!

I’m convinced that if anyone looked up the word “personality” in the dictionairy, Alina’s picture would be the definition! This one year/ cake smash session was so dreamy in so many ways. One of my favorite things about Alina’s one year session was how much she LOVED music. She took a total of one bite of her cake and danced the rest of the time!

My best friend from elementary school hadn’t had pictures with her kids in years, so I had to fix that problem immediately!

Smiley Nora has been a joy to photograph since she was a newborn. This time she came in with her Mommy to capture their bond. We enjoyed downtown New Market, MD, and soaked up some amazing spring-time rays.

The connection between a Dad and his Daughter is amongst one of the most important relationships. The love these two showed for each other (not just at this session) is insurmountable.

Working as a photographer for the past 10 years has allowed me to connect with some incredible people along the way. I have been photographing this little girl since she has been in her mom’s belly!

Every time I photograph kids, I make sure to get a close-up of their features and highlight their eyes. These are the things that you want to remember and melt your heart to look back on (I know from experience now that mine are getting so old!)

Working as a photographer for the past 10 years has allowed me to connect with some incredible people along the way.  The Hwang family definitely falls into this category, but our backstory requires a little more explanation than that.  What really brought us all together was a good cause and a young hero named Michael Mosier.

When it comes to family portraits, there’s no “one size fits all” solution.  As a photographer, I love working with people who aren’t afraid to step outside of the traditional poses and really have fun during our photoshoots!  The Hendersons definitely did that when we took a walk around Frederick, Maryland last fall.  Although no one was more excited that day than Tinkerbell.

Can you believe the New Year is less than 2 weeks away?  Although winter is just getting started here, my photographer brain is already planning ahead for spring sessions!  Maybe I’m just feeling inspired by one of my favorite photoshoots from 2019.  Featuring the Chandra-Lee family, who’s been with me since the beginning of Jessica Neumann Photography.  Honestly, these portraits remind me why I started this small business in the first place.
