Byle and McCarthy Family | Maryland Photographer

We met at dawn … and when I say that, that means that we woke up in the DARK. Yep! I woke up around 4 a.m. so I get on the road and make it to Maryland by 6:15 a.m. Whew! I’m not much of a morning person, but this will get me going! Haha! I will admit that as soon as I got home … I SAKED out for four hours! I guess sleep was really needed. Meeting this family was a true joy because this was really a present for the mom! 🙂 And the mom is so adorable as you will see below! When I look through their collection of photos and I see the smiling/laughing photos of their momma, it makes me so happy because I know I have truly captured her joyful personality.

Enjoy the preview of their lovely sunrise session! Thank you all for a great time!! 🙂
