Oh my gosh, I don't understand kids today. A big cake all for you and "meh, no thanks." That's not to say this little independently minded 1-yr old didn't manage to go for the Papa Smurf look, which he pulled off quite well (parents might want to re-think blue frosting!). . . . #thuisstudios #justbecause #cakesmash #firstbirthday #birthdayboy #annapolisphotographer #marylandphotographer

"I'm not sure I've ever truly learned how to cope with loss, perhaps none of us have. I find myself [locking] the pain...up and away from my day-to-day thoughts.... I began capturing little bits of our sweet Iolani, beginning shortly after his diagnosis, to the day we let him go. This video montage reflects some of his favorite things to do...lounging in the sun, roaming the yard, or snuggling with mom...he was truly the biggest+best snuggle bug there ever was. His chronicall

So you're 1-yr old and you got better things to do than to hang with the fam for some photos or even eat cake. There are lovely shiny things catching your big brown eyes that not even sugary ducks or colorful wild animals can tempt you away. But wait, what's that? A flame?! Now we're talking! (No babies were harmed in the making of these photographs!). Happy birthday, sweet boy! I loved seeing how big you've gotten from just a year ago! You looked so handsome in your s

Mikayla+Frankie never had a photo session focusing on just the two of them, and I always wanted to try something with an industrial/urban vibe. They were game, so together we were a match made in heaven! With big sister, Sydney, and my Bill along to help carry sweaters and my trusty little step stool we were off like a shot...hoping to catch a sunset that, unfortunately was eaten up by clouds that rolled in. No matter, we had a great time! P.S. If Mikayla looks familiar, i

Niki+Dakota are two special ladies who joined with Andrew a few years back, and together they made a perfect little family. With Dakota entering her twilight season, we got together to celebrate what Niki called "just a pup and her humans doing what she loves most." . . . #thuisstudios #bzcinema #justbecause #lifestyle #annapolisvideographer #marylandvideographer #petvideographer #lifestylevideographer #annapolisphotographer #marylandphotographer #petphotographer #lifestyleph

OMGosh! Hadn't seen Brandy in almost 3 years when we were on O'ahu and got up at o'dark-thirty for a Maternity session with Tirro Photography. (BTW, sunrise sessions in Hawai'i are perfection!) Now that Brandy is living temporarily "just down the road," Cait asked her friend to do a Mommy+Me session. We had such a great time and little Brooke was a super star! Looking forward to seeing Brandy and Brooke again tomorrow and meeting the baby that was in her belly 3 years

This Father's Day had me thinking...one doesn't really see "Daddy+Me" sessions. If you're a dad and you have a little one (toddler through age 5), shoot me an email (info@thuisstudios.com) with your name, telephone number, the age of your child and let's see if we're right for one another! You'll get to hang out with your kiddo and receive 10 retouched images of you and your little, and I'll get to add to our Just Because portfolio! (Session will be held appx 1-2 hours p

Yes, there was once an official team of four. But after a while the guys decided they really only needed to be on call. So lucky us, we're able to coordinate with them for the big things (operating the UAV), the frustrating things (why oh why does my computer hate me?!), and small things (can you hold that for me, please?) . . . #thuisstudios #marylandphotographer #marylandvideographer #annapolisphotographer #annapolisvideographyr #sayido #elope #elopement #intimatewedding

This kid. This kid. The sweetest wee guy around. A thoughtful cake smasher...more about taking a tiny fist full rather than indulge in a full-blown cake riot. He was so tickled with himself!

We got together with Ali and her sis last Saturday. Why? Just Because she's graduating from college! We were layered like Randy from A Christmas Story, and Ali made it look like it was a real Spring day.

After being housebound for about a week, I ventured out into the beautiful golden light with Caitlin from Tirro Photography to second shoot lovely Megan. The autumn colors of her dress perfectly complimented her gorgeous tattoos. I adored her spunk...going barefoot and making balancing on a downed tree look effortless. I loved her silliness...making a grass moustache (not everyone can pull that off, you know!). It was a great outing! . . . #thuisstudios #justbecause #g

Literally plucked from the street, Mahina has been with you since you were 12. You rescued Kana Bear as she shivered in the unforgiving winter cold, trying to get some warmth by pressing against a window of one of your college buildings. They've been safe and sound with you ever since...and loved by the man who came long after they! . . . #thuisstudios #justbecause #family #straycats #streetcats #rescuecats #cats #thisisus #yourlife #lifewithcats #furkids #furbabies #lifest

We love it when people give us a chance to explore new genres!  Savannah is our first Senior endeavor, AND also the first time photographing a dancer! We met Savannah and her mom, Amanda, just before sunrise and was actually surprised to see so many people on the Annapolis docks just waiting for the sun to come up. We found a spot without a crowd and Savannah ran through some moves. Then on to street clothes and a few more traditional portraits...ending with one together w
