Jonna Michelle Photography | Maryland Family Photographer | Melvin Allison and Bernie!

I'm going to share a secret that most photographers probably keep to themselves: As a photographer, you always have favorites.

Favorite lenses. Favorite locations. Favorite photos. Favorite clients.

When it comes my to favorites, Allison, Melvin, and Bernie are it. I just adore this family!

Sadly, because of the pandemic, we haven't seen each other in over a year. It was so good catching up during our photo session near their home in Gaithersburg. It's hard to believe how much Bernie has grown -- the last time I saw him, he had just turned one!

As a photographer, it was also good to be challenged.

​This photo session took me out of my comfort zone in two unique ways: location and timing. Not only were we not in Sligo Creek, but the only time Allison, Melvin, and Bernie could meet for photos was around noon.

In most cases, I encourage my clients to meet for photos around 2 hours before sunset because that's when natural light is the best. At noon, and without clouds, the sunlight can be harsh. Because of this, I had to constantly be aware of my surroundings and pay close attention to how and where Allison, Melvin, and Bernie were standing in relation to the sun. I was worried about delivering photos that wouldn't meet my standards.

Allison was kind enough to pose for a test shot, though, and the rest, as they say, is history! I even captured a few images that have become new favorites!

Do you have a favorite from this collection? Let me know in the comments section below!
