Rylan is One Year Old! | Western Maryland Family Photographer

February 26, 2014 / Zach Egolf

Not even two feet of snow could stop this handsome little dude from strutting his stuff for the camera. Rylan was one of the most playful and energetic one-year olds I've ever had the pleasure of capturing with a camera and that gave us plenty of opportunity for action shots, smiles, and good times!

Rylan didn't have a shy bone in his body, and he's going to only become more of a handful as the years go by! Hit the jump for more photos of our fun session.

Sister Shoot | Western Maryland Bridal Photographer

December 15, 2013 / Zach Egolf

Remember Chris and Kristin from a few months ago? Well those two crazy love birds finally tied the knot! And even better? Kristin's sister Nicole got married, too! So what's the first thing a bride wants to do once the wedding and honeymoon are over and they've returned to the normalcy of everyday life?

Addy and Ryder | Western Maryland Engagement Photographer

November 27, 2013 / Zach Egolf

Okay, so the title of this post is a little deceptive. This was actually a kids shoot, but I'll go ahead and warn you right now:

If you suffer from cuteness allergies, stop reading. This shoot was overwhelmingly cute!

You've all probably seen previous posts about Addy and Ryder, separately, but I had the pleasure a few weekends ago of getting these two together for a shoot! I won't bore you with much more in the words department, so hit the jump for a preview of the cuteness (and even a surprise guest appearance!)

Covert and Conrad Family Session | West Friendship, Maryland Family Photographer

November 14, 2012 / Zach Egolf

In the realm of clients, few things make this photographer happier than repeats. Sure, it's always great when one family enjoys my photos enough to recommend me to another family, but there are few joys more pure than knowing that a family enjoyed my work so much that they're willing to bring me back and have them capture more memories.

This was the case with the Covert family!

I had the pleasure of capturing the first few days of their adorable baby girl, Makenna, and was delighted to find out that they were so happy with their photos, they wanted to book me for a session for Christmas cards, and they wanted to bring along Morgan's sister and family.

I love a session like this, because the families really play well off of each other and it makes for some great photos. I can't wait to continue to see how baby Makenna continues to grow up and follow along with her family! More photos down below...

Chris and Kristin | Mt. Airy, Maryland Engagement Photographer

October 21, 2012 / Zach Egolf

Wine country makes an absolutely amazing backdrop for an engagement session, and this year's Autumn scenery changes only served to make it that much better. I've had the pleasure of knowing Chris for almost 25 years now, and I'm fairly certain I've never seen him happier than he is when he's with his fiance, Kristin. The two of them provided some amazing chemistry in front of the lens, and I feel really honored to have been given the chance to capture their engagement session. I wish them a long and happy marriage, and can't wait to see them as they grow old together.

Jake and Caroline | Western Maryland Engagement Photographer

September 22, 2012 / Zach Egolf

The scenic hills and valleys of western Maryland played the part of the beautiful background in what might be one of my most favorite engagement sessions I've ever had the privilege of creating. Jake and Caroline were searching for the perfect scene for their session and, considering they're getting married at a vineyard, figured why not have their e-session in one as well! For those of you that might know me personally, you may remember Jake as one of the members of my groomsmen and a friend of mine for the last 5 years. Caroline, who is no doubt his better half, is probably the perfect woman to be marrying Jake. These two make a great couple and leave no doubt to any onlookers that they're going to be happy together for a long, long time. I wish them the best of luck and a long and prosperous marriage!
