This little sweet heart and her family were a blast to work with. I love mommy, daddy, and baby pictures, but it's always special when you get to see the grandparents with the little one too!

To say that I'm behind is such an understatement...

I am SOOO behind and I promise over the next few days I'll get all caught up... and bring you all up to date with the latest happenings in the Lillard house. I don't have any appointments or sessions scheduled until late tomorrow and my wonderful mother in law will have my girls so there should be many sneak peeks tomorrow..but for now I promised mom I'd get this one up :)

Bith Photography | Maryland Birth Photographer

I had the awesome opportunity to photograph my first birth. I can truly say it was one of the most awe inspiring moments in my life...well other than when my own kiddos were born. Thank you guys for sharing this time with me, I'm so excited for you and can not wait to watch Miss M grow! Click on the image below to view a quick slide show of images.



If you think you may be interested in having your birth documented. Please contact Eyes of a Child Photography to set up your session. Space for birth imagery is very limited.

I've worked with this family a few times in the past it's always fun getting to watch kiddos grow up!

I had the pleasure of working with this family on their maternity session and was all too excited when we got the message that baby Luke had arrived! He was an absolute doll baby to work with never fussed a bit!

The Odd Couple

...from the Eyes of Echo...


I always find it amazing when I get along so well with people that are the opposite of me.

I guess the old adage "opposites attract" is true in my life. Chrissi and I would not be two people that logic dictates would be friends. We are basically the opposite in about every way you can think of... she's tall, I'm short, I have two boys, she has two girls, I have curly hair, her hair is straight. She's artistic, I'm.. well... more of a logical person who strives to be artistic. I think that's why we get along so well. When she's quiet, I talk. And every once in a while, when she pipes up, I try to listen because I know it must be important, as she's a more quiet individual. While we were working on packing and shipping yesterday it was more than evident of our differences. Chrissi has a quiet confidence to her that I really admire. I tend to be a bit more frantic, a little unsure of myself when it's something that I don't have 100 percent control over.


I think it's a funny thing that we are friends. I'm so glad I have her in my life. And even more so, I'm happy I work with her. And that's what it is.. I never feel I work for her, but with her, helping her dreams of photographic ideas come true. It's a good place to be, and I'm glad.

Just an update

No pictures for now but I promise I'll get a few up I have sessions to put up peeks for, a beautiful niece to introduce, and a TON of orders to process. There's been a lot happening around here and I'll be sharing soon enough but for now just wanted to let you all know that I may be a bit MIA this week as I catch up!

My gorgeous niece Mya was born on Wednesday and spent some time in the NICU but I'm happy to say she came home today. Incidentally today would have also been my brothers 35th birthday, he passed away Feb of 2006, it was nice to have something to celebrate today! :) On another note my mother fell on Friday and broke her collar bone :( So if you miss me this week you know why lol As always if you need anything you can always shoot me an email and I'll be happy to respond in the evening when I get some down time.

Hug your family let them know how much you love them!

Together | Maryland Family Photographer

I met this mom through a wonderful moms group a few years ago when both of our babies were still babies! She worked with me when I first started out my journey as a photographer. I can't believe how much all of our kiddos have grown, and feel lucky to have worked with such wonderful families!

Beautiful Family | Maryland Family Photographer

Saturday I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family...there were a total of 8 adults and only one child...not my usual ratio. I had some fun with it but I think that I'll stick to chasing kiddos around! I was just too nervous lol I hope you guys love what you see can't wait to get the rest of the images to you. Thank you all for inviting me out to capture this time with your family!

I had a great time photographing this senior yesterday in downtown Frederick. She was up for anything and everything I threw at her and we captured a lot of great moments. Could she be any more gorgeous?

Birthday Girl v.2 | Maryland Birthday Photographer

I had such a nice mommy day with my little bean today. It really should be law that on/around your kiddos birthday you spend an entire day one on one with them. It was so nice to have conversations with her, to play with her, to be silly with her with no interruptions and no distractions.Definitely a tradition I'm looking forward to keeping around!

Beanie wanted to be pampered today so that's what we did.

Fist we stopped by a salon and she had her nails done. I didn't make an appointment, and they were super sweet! They did it for free because it was her birthday. I'd spill the name of the salon but I don't want them inundated with birthday surprises...if you're interested feel free to give me a shout and ask I'm happy to share. Then we stopped by the candy shop, and of course picked out the largest pinkest lolly pop she could find. We walked to the toy shop and she picked out a new jewelry box :) We ate lunch headed over to the park for a tea party. Then off to the flower shop and then finally ice cream.
