Details of 1879 Home and Property, Frederick Maryland Photographer

Below you will find a sample page from a book I am making for a client.  She loved all the photos from a recent session of her descendant's stone house and property.  We are making three copies for her family members (husband and two children) as surprise birthday gifts.  For more views of this historic property, which was originally bought and owned by an emancipated slave in Loudoun County, Virginia please see my website.  Music by Micheal LaRue, "I Just Come from the Fountain" Songs of American Negro Slaves 

He was a trained stonemason, who was later set free.  The plantation owner sold him this piece of land in which he built a house and the stone wall surrounding the property.  Other buildings include a small stone barn, and detached garage.

The family plans to renovate the buildings and wanted to have photos created before construction began.  What an honor to be chosen to capture this important part of American history.

This is a thrill and an honor indeed. You are the best photographer to capture the essence of their life.
