Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by! I have a new blogsite, with a brand new look!

To view recent work, please visit www.anniohphotos.com

For three years in a row I have contributed a photo session and 8x10 print as part of a generous prize package awarded to the winning baby of the Harford's Most Beautiful Baby Contest - a fundraiser that benefits Harford Family House and SARC. I was so excited to finally meet and photograph last years winning baby, Scarlet! She is now nearly two years old and on the move! 

Please visit the Harford's Most Beautiful Baby website HERE to learn more about this wonderful fundraiser and to participate in 2013! 

Ethan was the perfect little man for this outdoor session. I really wasn't sure how it would go, only having a little over an hour of pretty light to work with, but he was so cooperative and content (especially wrapped up laying in the fur!) and it all worked out better than I had hoped. I would love to photograph more newbies outdoors in the future! 

My Dad picked up this Amish made rocking chair, I might steal it!

My two boys. If only I could freeze this moment in time, and keep them little like this forever. 

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing Isabella's Parents at this same location just a few weeks before Isabella was born! Now she is 1 and a half and on the move!! I love how her Easter/Spring session turned out - so pretty and spring-y!!

Savannah arrived a bit early, on Valentine's Day - what a sweet surprise! She might just be the sleepiest newborn i've met (don't let that bright eyed awake shot fool ya!) and she definitely wins my award for the biggest eyes on a newborn...and those dimples?! Yeah - she won me over and so did her big brother Stone! 

This little beauty was born 100% perfect and healthy in every way - 1 month early! At just about 5 lbs, she was soo tiny. Oh how I love the tiny baby girls. Totally opposite from my own babies ;-) 

I photographed Ava 1 year ago when she was just days old, all the while I was suffering from morning sickness. What a difference a year makes! I shot this session outside on a gorgeous warm and sunny day. I may be a California girl and a new Maryland resident - but I am pretty sure this is NOT normal weather around here this time of year. We had a lovely bouquet of pink balloons to incorporate into this session, but they flew away before we could use them. Oops! :-( Good thing Ava didn't mind! 

Grace Marie sure kept her Parent's waiting for her to make her grand entrance, but she was definitely worth the wait. Such a tiny and sweet baby girl, at under 6 lbs the day of our session. She let me pose her as I wanted, never making a fuss! 

Ellen is my cousin, and her baby boy MJ is quite possibly the cutest dude ever! He has the sweetest personality. I am so glad this shoot worked out! Late November is always an unpredictable time of year for an outdoor shoot, but we had an unseasonably warm day after many days of rain. Enjoy the sneaks! 

Those eyes! Avery stole my heart - just the sweetest baby girl (oh how I love photographing baby girls, being a Mama of two boys!) 

Meet Cameron, the sweetest little gal! She is probably going to grow up to be a supermodel not only because she was perfect for her first photo shoot, but she is so tall already! I loved spending a few hours with Cameron, her Mommy and Grandma. 

I met up with this gorgeous family on an overcast but warm mid-November day. Big sister Delaney has grown so much since the first time I met her, over a year ago. I photographed little sister Zoey as a newborn this past Spring (which seems like yesterday!) Such a sweet family that I am lucky to have as clients :-)

I photographed these ladies when they were 3 weeks old, older than I am used to, which just meant we had to work a little harder ;-) They both look so different from eachother, and the smaller of the two - Darcy was one of the smallest newbies I have worked with, under 5 pounds! Such beautiful sisters, and a very handsome proud big brother. 

This was my 3rd year photographing these three FUN boys! Every year gets a little easier, little boys like to move! Patrick, Scott, and Daniel :-) Such adorable little guys!

Stevie is such a sweet little red head, and watching his parents interact with him to get him to smile was so endearing. He is one lucky baby boy, surrounded by love. 

I have lost count of how many times I have photographed this family! Such wonderful people, and loyal clients ;-) This year, they have a new family member, Hank! The cutest pup I've ever seen!

I photographed little Khloe last December, and oh my how she has changed! She is such a little chunk, I love it. Big Sister Layla is a doll, and such a sweet big sister. I LOVED the outfits (and especially the hats) that the girls Mama chose for them to wear to the session. So fun and wintery! 

This is the 3rd year in a row I have photographed this little beauty, and I can't believe how much she has grown from the first time I met her! This recent session was a fun one! She was acting so silly, and had her Mommy and I laughing the whole time. Thanks for a fun evening Sofie :-)

I can't believe I am just now blogging my own little baby! Louis ("Louie") was born September 21st at 1:23pm weighing 9lbs 6 oz! He is absolute perfection. Here are some photos of him on Day 12. It is no easy task photographing your own baby just days after giving birth. I gave it a few other attempts, but Day 12 was my luckiest.

Isabella is one of my favorite little ladies. I photographed her Mommy almost exactly 1 year ago when Bella was still in her belly. Then, I photographed Isabella as a newborn, 5 months, and now at 1 year. She is such a doll, love her! This session had to be rescheduled countless times due to the stupid Maryland weather, and the session finally happened with me being nearly 38 weeks pregnant - no easy task. The entire day of the session was gorgeous, and then just as our session was to start, a thunder storm rolled in. Luckily we caught a little break, and shot the session while it was just sprinkling in-between storms. Bella's Mommy thinks it is good luck, I have to agree. ;-)

Baby Quinn was such a sweetie for me, especially for being as alert as she is, we got some cute sleeping shots :-) The hat in the first picture was bought as half a joke, it is actually a headband meant to be worn by an adult! That picture makes me smile. Enjoy your sneak peak, your baby girl is a doll!

* Time for some blog fun again - 20 unique comments will get this new little family a fun gift :-) *

I spent an early Sunday morning with Ella and her Parents. This session might have turned me into a morning person, as we beat the heat and it was so nice to shoot when it wasn't scorching hot outside! Ella was the sweetest little lady, too :-)

Meet Stu, just 8 days new :-) I photographed Stu's cousin Nicholas back in May. He was the eggplant head baby. Stu is modeling a pumpkin head hat, both of them made by their Grandma, too sweet.

I have watched Edison's Big Brother Dexter grow up right before my lens, from the time he was just about his Baby Brother's age now! Now, Edison is growing up just as quick right before my lens! These two are the cutest, happiest, most laid back little people I have had the pleasure of photographing. Their sessions are always some of my favorites! 

Big Brother

These two were absolutely adorable together, so close in age and in my opinion they look so much alike! I am sure in just a few months (if not already) people will be asking Mom and Dad on the streets if they are twins! I am so happy this session FINALLY happened, as it was one of my June sessions that was rescheduled due to the unpredictable Maryland weather. 

This baby girl was such a sweet little one! I thought she was going to fall asleep when she was laying in the grass :-) This session had to be rescheduled again and again (as nearly ALL of my June sessions have been - crazy weather!) and I am so glad it finally worked out! 

I am sure if you follow my blog you recognize these 3 faces. I have photographed them a handful of times over the past year and a half, the littlest of the 3 - Jossalyn was a 2010 Baby Planner, and I had the pleasure of photographing her several times during her first year. Enjoy the sneak peaks - and believe it or not I managed to get a cute shot of the threesome together, but I will save that one for the gallery :-)

Nicolas was the other winner of my "2010's Favorite Newborn" Contest from earlier this year. I have photographed him as a newborn, 5 months and now at 1 year, and he somehow manages to get cuter every time I see him. He has ticklish thighs and his little giggle when I would tickle him still has me smiling :-)

I photographed Kennedy this past September when she was just 10 days old. For fun, here is a shot from her newborn session! Seeing "my" babies grow is up there on my list of favorite things about what I do :-)

and here she is at 8 months old :-)

And of course adorable big sister London!

Little Zoey was a dream to photograph - so quiet and sweet, and so very sleepy! I am looking forward to more sessions with Zoey during her first year of life! 

How pretty is this Mama to be? Actually all three of them! I am sure the new baby will be just as beautiful. The gender is a surprise, and I can't wait to hear the news, and of course photograph him or her! 

Introducing baby Nicholas! I photographed him on his eleventh day of life. He was another little fighter, I have had my fair share of them lately ;-) He also has a handsome big brother, Sam. 

I photographed the littlest of these brothers when he was just a few days old! He was actually the first newborn I photographed here in Maryland. Time flies, and look how cute this little duo is! 

This little girl was a fighter! I think her Mama and I were both a little worried as the clock ticked that we would end the day without any sweet sleeping shots, but as our session came close to an end, Lily finally gave into that precious sleep :-) Look how pretty she is! 

Wyatt was super sleepy and squishy - just the way I like em'! He also has two adorable big sisters! I hope you like your sneak peak B Family :-)

I photographed Sydney as a newborn last year, and she was one of the two winning babies of my "2010's Favorite Newborn" Facebook Contest! Congratulations to Sydney :-)

My sister Samantha and her boyfriend Pete are in town, and so we went out for our second annual couple's photoshoot in the old graveyard on the hill! The light in that little graveyard is magical. See last year's photos here --> http://anniohphotos.com/blog/index.php?year=2010&month=August&post_get_id=34&page_type=recent

Mom warned me that Nataleigh was a very alert baby and awake a lot, but she stayed up partying all night long before our photoshoot, which worked to our advantage. She gave us a nice little stretch of sleepy time for poses. :-)

Sweet Stella is actually quite serious! I am glad I was able to catch a few smiles, we worked hard for them ;-) Just for fun, the first shot is from Stella's newborn session last Summer!

This handsome baby boy is my newest cousin. I know, I know - he looks just like me ;-) I am so glad I got to photograph him and spend a little time with the family before their move to PA. Ellen and Mike - Enjoy him, you will miss him this tiny :-)

Yesterday I met up with Jossalyn who just turned 1! There was still fresh snow on the ground from the storm a couple of days earlier, but she didn't mind too much. I have loved photographing this little beauty every few months over the past year :-)

It was such a pleasure to photograph Isabella once again. The last time I saw her she was just 9 days old. This was her Valentines shoot, next up - an Easter shoot. :-) I am looking forward to photographing her as she grows. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Introducing baby Ava, who surprised her parents a couple of weeks early. She is another feisty little one, but oh so pretty :-)

This little guy makes the most adorable noises i've ever heard. He definitely kept me entertained, as I know I did him because he was alert and feisty most of the day. Lots of feisty newborns for me lately :-)

Ayson was my first session of 2011, and he was definitely ready to party and ring in the New Year with me! He was awake almost the entire time, I think he dozed off for about 5 minutes during the time I was there - not to mention he had already been awake for 3 straight hours by the time I arrived for the shoot yesterday! This is very impressive for a baby under two weeks old :-) I love the shot of Ayson with his proud big brother, Seth! 20 or more comments gets Ayson's parents a free 5X7 print :-)

Yesterday was my last session for 2010, and Khloe was the perfect subject to spend the day with! She snoozed the entire time, never once showing me her eyes. I loved her blonde fuzz, and her dimple. :-) She also has an adoring new big sister - 2 year old Layla. Enjoy your sneak peak - 20 or more comments gifts you a 5X7 print!

Edison's Mom was the maternity session several posts back in the field on the orange chair. :-) He is the new little Brother to Dexter - a familiar face here on my blog, and I think he looks just like big brother! Enjoy the sneak peaks :-) *20 or more comments wins ya a free 5X7 print!*

It is definitely feeling like Winter outside, and this session was a chilly one! But, little Genevieve was a trooper, and we got some adorable shots of her. She was super happy to be sitting on that little antique sled! Enjoy your sneak peak B Family, and if you get 20 or more comments below your post you get a free 5X7 print :-)
