It’s always an honor when another photographer asks you to capture their family – especially when that photographer is the very talented Amanda McMahon! I met this adorable trio at the Naval Academy in Annapolis for their portrait session last week and we were lucky enough to have a gorgeous summer day to celebrate Luke’s first birthday!
We wandered around the gorgeous military campus, stopping at the chapel and ending along the docks at sunset! Amanda and Brendan are amazing parents and Luke is quite the joyful little character! We struggled at first to get him to smile and then Dad started to play a little Macklemore… and lets just say – Luke has amazing taste in music. He immediately started bobbing his head to the beat and trying to dance! It was absolutely precious!
I had so much fun capturing the joy and sweet love of this beautiful family! Enjoy!
