I am always amazed to hear the stories of how clients are referred to me. The S. family came to me via a fellow photographer’s blog posting. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you may recall the SOAR photography scholarship I applied for in December. Through the application process I have been able to network with many budding photographers from around the globe. Marcia Stuhler of Texas based Classy Kids Photography is one of the amazing women I have gotten to know this year through SOAR and she was kind enough to feature me and my experiences at the LAUNCH photography workshop on her blog back in March. Well, Marcia also just happens to be originally from the Washington Metropolitan area and this is where the S. family comes in. They happened to read her blog posting with my feature, clicked over to my site, and when they realized I wasn’t too far away from their Rockville, MD home they contacted me and asked if I’d be willing to come out their way for a family session.
After two reschedules in April we were finally able to connect last weekend and the wait was worth it! We got the perfect weather and I had such a great time with this family of four at the Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, MD. This place is a photographer’s paradise with sprawling landscapes, fountains, ponds, and flowers. I am so glad they introduced me to this location because it’s one I hope to use again in the future! We had a fun morning just strolling the gardens and enjoying the weather. One unique thing I learned about the S. family on our morning together? They like to travel and before going on vacation they’ll research on-location photographers in the area they are visiting to do a family sessions while they are there! What a great memory and a great way to get the whole family in vacation photos.
Thanks so much S. family for a wonderful morning and for introducing me to a beautiful location for photos! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek, the rest of your session will be on the way soon.
