               Here Anne describes her photography work:

"Anne is a newborn and lifestyle family photographer located in Harford County, Maryland.  She works on location or in her natural light home studio.  Like many others, Anne's own children inspired her to learn the art of photography in order to capture life's moments.  She is most passionate about photographing newborns and their innocence.  Anne's passion for photography lives among the brand newness of those first few days of life, holding on to those fleeting moments of childhood, and the magic of family."

Here Erin describes her photography work:

"I am a lover of all things baby, photography and animals. I married my wonderful supportive husband 2 years ago and we have been working hard at our goals ever since. I love my job so much and discovering photography has helped me find something a am truly passionate about.  I have always loved babies and children, especially newborn babies. When I was a little girl, all I played with were baby dolls. All I ever wanted for Christmas was a baby doll, a stroller, or something baby related. After high school I went to college, not really sure what I wanted in a career. I ended up graduating with a degree in mass comunications because I figured it was a well rounded degree that I could find a good job in. I ended up really unhappy in my first degree based job .. it was miserable. I thought there is no way I can do this, I have to start my own business and do what I love. I knew I loved babies and children, I also enjoyed taking pictures of my nieces and nephew. I remember thinking one day, I wonder if I tried really hard, if I could make a living as a photographer. At that moment I began putting 100% into it and have not looked back since. I attended a few workshops along the way because I am a true believer that education is highly important, especially when it comes to newborns and newborn safety. Most recently, I attended a workshop with Keri Meyers Photography and it was the best choice I ever made for my business. I learned to many important lessons during her workshop and had several ah ha moments that took me to the next level in newborn photography. "

 Here Traci describes her photography work:

"Hi! My name is Traci,  I am a mommy to the 2 most beautiful & hilarious boys (hopefully a 3rd next year!), a wife to an incredibly loving and supportive husband, and my most recent new title is... *photographer*.

There! I said it :) It wasn't until very recently that I actually began feeling comfortable referring to myself as a professional photographer, how in the world could this thing I enjoy doing beyond words could actually be a career? And one I'm realizing I may actually be good at!

My love for photography began at a very young age, spending all of my allowance ( do parents still give allowances these days?) on disposable cameras and snapping away. Waiting a week to get that film developed, having no idea how the shots came out until I finally got the prints back, was such a thrill to me. I always said after my "career" I would retire and become a photographer, well I am so proud to say I could not have been more wrong about that. A year and a half ago I set out on a mission to purchase my first dslr, and give this dream a shot, as a stay at home mom already I had nothing to lose.

Within months I was busier than I ever imagined! I've since upgraded my equipment, taken anamazing newborn workshop, and even have my own little home studio that I get to walk through everyday and I have to rub my eyes a little each time just to make sure it's real. While I love shooting kiddos of all ages, my deepest passion is for the teeny tiniest clients, the newborns. Having so many new mommies &  daddies put their faith in me to capture these memories for them is... an indescribable feeling. Pure joy. :)

p.s. SO stinkin flattered to be featured by Little Keiras Bows!! Thanks Kaye!"

Here Stephanie describes her photography work:

Like many of us I started by taking pictures of my sweet baby Dahlia but I soon caught the bug.  At first I thought I’d only photograph babies 6 month and older, but after much consideration (and a desperate friend who couldn’t’ get on anyone schedule) decided to give newborns a try.  After one shoot, I then KNEW I would only photograph babies 6 months and older (haha) but that didn’t last.  The allure and challenge of sweet squishy new life grabbed hold of me and I never looked back.  I opened my business mid 2011 and have been lucky enough to photograph some of the most beautiful babies in the Dallas, Texas area.  I consider my style to be fun, whimsical, and sometimes elegant.
