Rainbow Beauty…. {kent island maryland photographer}

October 23, 2011

The M family members are troopers.  Vacationing from NJ on Kent Island, MD, they wanted me to come out and photograph them on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.  I was originally slated for a Saturday night shoot.  But then the weather forecast said 70% chance of rain.  So we moved it to the night before.  Only 20% chance of rain.

Wouldn’t you know, it started to rain on my drive in.  It sprinkled all of my time there, with a short heavy rain in the middle (we hid and shot on the porch).  The beautiful crazy of it all?  We could see directly across the bay to Annapolis… where the sun was setting and gorgeous.  So the silhouette you’re about to see?  Raining on us.

Enough about the story… what a genuinely gorgeous family.  Such warm and generous hearts… mom had never met before… but the wind had picked up and she kindly lent me her sweatshirt.  They were true sports to follow my directions in the windy drizzle….

Thanks M family!  I’m SO HAPPY for the raindrops we had that night!

Webb Wedding… {eastern shore maryland wedding photographer}

October 16, 2011

It was a warm August day when L & P wed in a beautiful ceremony. Just a few days prior had been a terrible storm, and everyone was fretting about the weather… that is, except the bride herself! The old stone church was gorgeous and perfect, as was the bride, groom, and their three flower girls in attendance. I just adored the Bride’s dress… which she had affectionately named “Lucy.” The reception was held at a local winery, and was relaxed and laid back. I couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Many congrats and blessings L & P!

Baby JP…. {easton md baby photographer}

September 19, 2011

I met both Mr. & Mrs. T waaaay back in the stone ages of 6th grade. All three of us shared many classes together through Middle and High School. It’s a fun fact that Mr. & Mrs. T didn’t even actually date and marry, till after college. But I’m thrilled they did. Its always lovely to see two friends fall in love. And of course… start their family. Meet our little Ravens Fan… JP!

Thanks T family… and when is our cookout happening again? ;)

country kids… {easton md photographer}

September 5, 2011

Its been interesting teaching my kids to shed their city slicker ways and become country kids. “What do you mean ‘go outside and play?’” LOL, I was always to scared to let them play for too long in our old townhouse division. But with secluded uninterrupted 20 acres of field and forrest, I’ve tried encouraging them to play outside more.  They’re leaning though.  :)

Ugh… I have tried to follow your blog, and I am a “follower” on blogger, but your feed won’t show up on there, it says it doesn’t work. I’ve tried to fix it several times the last couple of years, but there’s just something wrong with whoever your host is, as far as I can tell. Of all the blogs I follow, yours is the only one that doesn’t show up so I’m only over here when I can remember to check. I wish I remembered more often! Or if the darn feed would just show up on blogger!

The Extended F Family… {cambridge md photographer}

September 2, 2011

I had the chance to spend some time and get to know the extended F family a couple weeks ago. What a fun family! They were celebrating Grampa’s milestone birthday and took the opportunity to preserve their family in photos.  We met at a resort on the water in Cambridge… it was SO beautiful! You wouldn’t know by looking at these, but it was so HOT that day, and these kids were such troopers.

Thanks F family!

Tremendous T kids… {denton md photographer}

August 28, 2011

I’ve photographed these lovely kids before! They traveled out of their way to see me last summer, and then were happily surprised I was so much closer once I had moved. This session is the first official session I’ve shot since moving, with all new locations. Some of these are in my backyard!  The T kids are beyond awesome… big Brother R is so laid back.  Sister L is definitely more spunky, and she kept us on our toes.  This session was fun, in that there was a good 30 minute rain storm in between the town shots and the field shots.  So we all hung out in my kitchen in between, lol.

L is her mom’s clone!  Thanks again T family for coming to see me!

I just love the Z family. They are a four-peat family. Little Audrey is near and dear to my heart, and I’ve just loved watching her grow from a newborn, six months, one year and now… all the way to two years old.  She’s grown in beauty and grace, and I’ve really enjoyed chatting with mom & dad during our sessions.    Without further adieu…

Thanks Z family!

I met up with this adorable family at a nearby field for one of my wildflower sessions. The evening of our session couldnt have been a more beautiful and these kids were just ADORABLE in their outfits.  Mama taught them great manners too… as I would try to direct Miss M, and she’d politely say “No thank you.”  Lol, she was a doll, and we persuaded her anyway.   Enjoy this session of these beautiful children!

Thanks V family for choosing Andrea Burns Photography!

The H Brothers… {eastern shore, md photographer}

June 6, 2011

Mama H contacted me about shooting a session of her boys, to surprise their active-duty daddy. I just thought it was the sweetest idea! These boys were very sweet, the oldest telling me all about his adventures with his “puppy.” The youngest was a tough cookie, he certainly loves his Mama… and I had to work hard and sing LOUD for the baby smile you see below. But score! I got it! Victory was mine!

Thanks H family… and Dad…. hope you like them too!
