Brunswick High School Senior, Class of 2012, Frederick MD Photographer

Chloe is graduating with the Class of 2012 from Brunswick High School in Frederick County, Maryland. She starts college at The University of Maryland in the fall.

I've know Chloe to be a dancer, athlete and dependable teenage babysitter for my sons.  In fact she was my son Luke's first crush!
Photos taken in Frederick and Point of Rocks, Maryland
She is the youngest of three daughters and was raised in Point of Rocks, Maryland.  We ended the photo session at the Point of Rocks Train Station where he father departs on the train each morning.  She said she had always wanted to walk on the railroad tracks (if I thought it was safe enough).  Her mom made sure no trains were coming and saw the symbolism of the tracks by commenting,  "Graduating high school and seeking her track... A new journey."

Favorite books read in high school include: To Kill a Mockingbird  and Animal Farm 


Favorite Music:  Jack Johnson and John Mayer 


She has served as Miss Point of Rocks, 2011-2012 


In her free time she likes to relax by reading a book or when she's feeling more upbeat she likes to hangout with friends.

As we were leaving the train station Chloe's mother pointed out one of the many trees her father had planted near the station as his daughters were growing up (yes, he is sort of like Johnny Appleseed).  Chloe went and sat under a towering pine that was once the family Christmas tree, possibly even the same year Chloe was born.  What a nice way to round out the fun photo session for a beautiful young woman.

Smuggler Baby Carriage, Perfect for Newborn, Photography by Frederick County Photographer

After Liam's Saturday soccer today game we drove through Buckeystown, MD and spotted this gem sitting on a lawn with some other wonderful antiques.  The owner is a photographer as well and when I mentioned this would be perfect for a newborn photo shoot he agreed.  He called it a "Smuggler Baby Carriage" for it's hidden compartment under the cushions shown in the fourth photo.  It was just too interesting a piece to pass up.  It is most likely from the turn of the century and can still be wheeled around although surely you won't see anyone pushing it down the streets of Frederick.

Luke helped me test it out by putting Romeo in it.  Perfect fit!

If you know of someone who is excepting and would like for me to capture thier newborn in his or her first days of life please send them my way.  With some pretty, soft blankets it will make a perfect prop and can even be used in a photo shoot with a little girl and her dollies! I can't wait to use my new baby carriage!
