Jennifer Rotz Photography: December 2012

Expecting | Greencastle, PA Maternity Photographer

Maternity sessions have quickly become one of my absolute favorites to shoot. There is so much anticipation, excitement, and just HAPPINESS. I love being in a nursery before the baby arrives. The clothes are hanging in the closet, the crib is set, the stuffed animals are scattered, and there is just this air about the room that is thick with love.

And this session lived up to every one of these expectations.

Andrea and Ron are going to be amazing parents. They are just so excited for baby Anika to arrive and I can tell they are going to treat her like the little princess she already is.

Andrea is one the most beautiful mamas-to-be I've ever seen.

Definitely a favorite. This is pure happiness.

Mia is their first 'baby' and I love that she decided to make an unexpected cameo for this shot :)

Another favorite.

I don't think I've ever seen cuter shoes than these. Baby Anika is going to be quite the girly-girl!

We had to incorporate a touch of Christmas :)

Baby Milania | Chambersburg, PA Newborn Photographer

Milania was the perfect little newborn for our session. She slept and slept and slept..and then smiled! This newborn session is very organic (AKA: naked), which is the best way to capture all those little newborn details that here and gone before you know it.

Amanda + Andrew: Married | Baltimore, MD Wedding Photographer

Our 2012 wedding season was nothing short of amazing. We laughed, shed a few tears, lost some hair, but, mainly and most importantly, grew immensely as wedding photographers. So it's befitting that our last wedding of the year was just as amazing. Amanda and Andrew had a little hiccup in their plans when they found out Andrew would be deployed for their original wedding date. Amanda didn't skip a beat. She found a new day and I'm so thankful we were available. She did such a wonderful job planning their wedding and coordinating everything. The ceremony and reception took place at Top of the Bay in Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.

Amanda and Andrew are one of the most beautiful couples! They both have this model-look about them and, honestly, I could've shot bride and groom portraits ALL day! Luckily, they chose to see each other before the ceremony so we had plenty of time. Besides the fact that they are gorgeous, they are easy to photograph because they laugh, love, and just enjoy each other so much.

Thank you guys so much for allowing us to document this most-important day. We wish you nothing but the absolute best in your marriage and I know no matter what Amanda will be rocking some fabulous shoes :) We couldn't have asked for a better couple to close out the 2012 wedding season!
