Nora & Family | Howard County Photographer

The “N” Family

I was so excited to get to take updated family photos for Nora and her family now that she is 1 year old! Nicole (Nora’s momma) is my very best friend. We met working at Camp Sonshine in Montgomery county years ago and became super close when we attended Towson together. We then became roommates and the rest is history! Honestly I’ve taken so many pictures of Nicole throughout my life. We did a jumping picture wherever we went…we perfected the self-timer, we would just take a pictures because we were bored. One of our favorite games would be to give a command and take a picture of us acting it out. Like…my favorite, mid-sneeze and then we would take a picture of us pretending to be in the middle of a sneeze. Or…a bumble bee just stung you and we would take a picture of our faces. I know, you wish you were as cool as us! HAHA! We were kind of obsessed with pictures. I’m happy to say the last couple of shoots have been some of my favorite (and luckily a bit more meaningful than those shoots in college); when Nicole and Steven got engaged, their 1st anniversary, and when Nora was born.

1 year old photos

Nora turned one at the end of December and Nicole had been wanting to get some updated family pictures. She mentioned that in the spring they have these gorgeous purple trees at their home in Laurel, MD but they only bloom for a short time. If you’ve been in Maryland you know that our spring has been very cold! So we were hoping for a nice night with the purple blossoms and that is just what we got! One of my favorite things is capturing all the joy that this family has because of sweet little Nora. It is really cool to get to see your best friend as a mom…not only get to see it, but get to take pictures of that overwhelming happiness. Nicole and Steven…you guys are doing an amazing job as parents! Keep it up!
