Sara + Michael | Bel Air Armory | Baltimore, MD Wedding https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2022/8/sara-michael-bel-air-armory-baltimore-md-wedding The big day finally arrived!  We had been waiting patiently for Sara and Michael's big day, since we received the news last year.  One beautiful engagement session, a broken leg, and a replacement photographer (Thank you to Stephen's dad, Dane who stepped in to help out on a couple of our larger weddings this season while Stephen was recovering!) and we were there!  This day could not have been more perfect.  We were the first to arrive at the Bel Air Armory, which was a stunning building with a beautiful courtyard ready to be set for the ceremony.  Sara and Michael arrived separately with smiles on their faces (which remained through the final moments of the evening).  From swords drawn for the recessional, to square dancing and swing dancing, a hilarious round of the shoe game and a final dance that brought tears to my eyes, this was truly a fairytale day.  We wish Sara and Michael all the happiness in the world and a future full of beautiful moments...

Sydney + Ahmed | DC Wedding | Jefferson Memorial https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2021/6/sydney-ahmed-jeffersonmemorial We were so incredibly honored when we received the call that our dear friend, client, and young lady we have watched grow since she was 5 was getting married!  Sydney waltzed into my life as an adorable 5 year old when I was still a teenager.  I watched her grow over the years and as an adult, enjoyed family get togethers, and portraits along the way!  It seems like yesterday, we were taking senior portraits by the lake and wondering what life would bring for this beautiful young woman!  Enter, Ahmed... Through college and becoming adults, these two have a love story for the ages.  We watched as they would pop up on social media, being adorable and wondered if a day like this might be in the future.  Sure enough as all great love stories do, this one included a proposal!  We were delighted and excited to be chosen to capture this stunning couple on a truly amazing day!  We started our journey at the mother of the bride's childhood home.  This beautiful historic townhome in downtown DC was the perfect place to begin the fairytale day!  We arrived to find smiles and laughter throughout the house as the couple and their friends prepared for the big day.  After transforming Sydney into what can only be described as a princess (and Ahmed cleans up nice too :-), we were off to the Jefferson Memorial along the beautiful Tidal Basin for a dream wedding ceremony!  Despite a little bit of construction, we could not have asked for a more perfect and beautiful location for the ceremony nestled right inside the memorial!  After a whirlwind of beautiful vows, a tearful first dance and one very romantic first kiss, we stepped out for some portraits under the trees.  We could not have asked for a more perfect day, a sweeter couple or a more appreciative group of family and friends.  We were truly beside ourselves with gratitude to be a part of this special day!  We would like to wish Sydney and Ahmed all the happiness in the world and we cannot wait to capture their reception and celebration in December!

Abby's Cake Smash! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2020/11/abbys-cake-smash We had so much fun spending our Sunday baking a smash cake, dressing up our sweet girl and crossing our fingers for little mess and big smiles!  It was a family affair with Daddy and Big Sister being my biggest helpers!  Abby did not know what to think of Mommy's big photography lights and baskets, but she played along quite well!  Sitting in a basket wearing a big dress was not the star activity of this photo shoot, though!  When we put Abby down next to her very first, very pink birthday cake, there was no instruction needed!  She went right for it, removing the decorations first and then proceeding to dive in like it's something she has done 100 times!  She even made it past the frosting to get into the chocolate cake!  She was so excited for her treat and then got a very cute bath on set to get all cleaned up!  All in all, our living room survived as well as my equipment and props.  Abby loved her first cake experience and gave us some adorable faces!  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating them!

Katie & Sean are Engaged! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2020/11/katie-sean-are-engaged I have known this beautiful woman since she was a beautiful little girl.  She has always been a smiling, sweet, loving constant in our family.  Over the years we have watched this hopeless romantic wait so patiently (...ish ;-) for her forever love.  When we saw her with Sean for the first time, we knew.  She had found her someone.  He matched her perfectly, filling in all the opposite counterparts of her personality.  Seeing these two together is like viewing the definition of a simply, beautiful effortless love story.  We cannot wait to capture their wedding next year, and we wish Katie, Sean and all their cats an eternity of happiness!

Baby Abby! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2020/11/baby-abby Well, our little girl is 11 months old!  This means we have survived almost a whole year with our sweet little new addition!  Our older daughter has been the best big sister and "little mama" that anyone could ever ask for.  Seriously, I could not, would not do this without her!  My amazing husband goes to work every day so that the three of us  girls can navigate this strange world of quarantines and virtual school.  My photography has been a blessing to be able to get outside and make people smile amongst all the craziness.  The girls are resilient and continue to thrive and flourish through the most testing of circumstances.  The baby lives in a world where when you go out, everyone has a mask on, we stay home all the time and she knows, no different.  Our ten year old is something to be seen, taking it all in stride and excelling at distance learning!  As we move forward into the holidays with our happy family, we pray for those who have not been as fortunate, for those who have lost loved ones and those who continue to need help.  Our little Abby is about to celebrate turning one, and we could not be more proud!

A Holiday Elopement | Middletown, MD | JMPhotography Weddings by Julie & Stephen https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2019/1/a-holiday-elopement-middletown-wedding-by-jmphotography-weddings-by-julie-stephen Nearing the end of 2018, we thought it was time to close up for the year, enjoy the holidays and get ready for 2019.  However, Teresa and Keith had something else in mind for finishing out the year!  We were so honored to be included in this very special elopement ceremony.  A dear friend of my parents and former musical director at our church, Teresa made for a stunning bride in her navy gown.  She asked my mother to be her matron of honor, my father to sing, and as if this all wasn't special enough, she included our daughter as the flower & ring bearer.  It truly became a family affair, when the best man became ill days before the wedding.  My dad was asked to step up as best man and fill in for the special day.  The groom was beaming with joy as the sun shone down from the sparkling stained glass.  It was obvious these two are over the moon for each other.  The ceremony was a beautiful private affair which thanks to modern technology was also broadcast live on facebook for family and friends.  The couple invited us all to share in a festive lunch at Dutch's Daughter which included amazing food and a beautiful winter themed wedding cake complete with a snowman bride and groom.  This day was truly filled with Winter Magic!!!

Meet Baby Jaxson... 2 1/2 Weeks New! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2018/9/meet-baby-jaxon-2-1/2-weeks-new It is always such a joy when someone I know is having a baby!  I love everything about pregnancy and newborns and babies and children...well, you get the idea!  So, when one of my lovely coworkers contacted me about capturing her beautiful newborn son, I was over the moon!  I had met him just once in person, but had the pleasure of watching her belly grow over the last 9 months in quiet anticipation of this handsome little guy's arrival!  Sierra handled her pregnancy with grace, working right up almost to the end!  When she began her maternity leave, baby Jaxon decided he just could not wait one more minute to meet his loving family and arrived weeks ahead of schedule.  After many prayers and some time spent in the NICU with the wonderful caring doctors and nurses, Jaxon showed that he was strong and ready to face the world!  This little man at less than 3 weeks old was a joy to work with and remarkably strong for entering the world the way he did!  I hope you enjoy welcoming Baby Jaxon, along with his Mom, Dad and beautiful big sister, Ava!

Patrick & Charles https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2018/7/patrick-charles It has been a while since I posted a new blog.  Life has been crazy and wonderful, and trying and tough, but what really matters at the end of the day is the journey.  My love for photography has never wavered, but the time I have had available to explore and keep up with said passion certainly has.  However, dreams are the kind of things that must be nurtured, so as must be done with all things we put down, I picked it back up, got on my "proverbial horse" and got back out there!  Stepping into a beautiful sinking sun with two of my favorite clients and a dear friend I have known since elementary school didn't hurt either!  I love having the chance to catch up and play with these adorable brothers who I have had the honor and privilege of watching grow over the years!  I hope you enjoy the product of our fun evening as much as I did!

Meet Avery...2 Weeks New... https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2017/9/meet-avery-2-weeks-new More Girls!!!  I am so in love with all these little ladies arriving in our family over the past few years!  First we had Kaya, then Harper, and now it is time for Baby Avery's introduction!  This little lady was just that, a perfect lady!  As long as she had a bottle nearby, she was happy to do just about anything.  Not hardly a wimper out of this little one as we passed her around, stole her dress and stuffed her in a basket!  Now, not only is she totally awesome, but she also made Kaya into a big sister!  Now, at first glance Kaya put on quite a "I'm the baby" show in regards to this chic invading her space.  However, when no one was looking, it was obvious Kaya was overcome with fascination and love for this tiny little person.  I cannot wait to watch their bond as sisters grow over the years!  For now, it is time to enjoy a look into week two of this family's life as parents of two!

Introducing...Baby Jaxon! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2017/8/introducing-baby-jaxon My friend's baby had a baby of her own!!!  Now, I'm not sure how this happened, because there is no way that we are old enough to be grandma's!  However, here we are in the next stage of life watching our babies grow up to have lives of their own.  Luckily I still have one little...the big one I must admit is starting high school this year, which means we're officially old!  Meanwhile, my lovely friend's daughter who is an amazing woman herself has brought one of the cutest little guys into the world!  I had the distinct honor of being his first photographer!  Though he refused to fall asleep and his sister really, really didn't want to take photos, we had lots of fun and got some adorable shots!  I hope you enjoy this little preview of Baby Jaxon!

Baby Scarlett!!!  I was over the moon when my husband's cousin who just gave birth to the most adorable little girl, contacted me about a photo shoot!  They drove several hours just to spend the evening capturing their beautiful new addition.  Her big brother was obviously very proud of this new little lady in his life.  Mom and Dad were the happiest I have ever seen.  This little lady is full of personality and definitely belongs in our bunch!  I look forward to watching her grow and wish happiness and health to Scarlett and her amazing family!  And now... Baby Scarlett!!!

Haley + James | Linganore Winery Wedding | Frederick, MD | JMPhotographyMD https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2017/6/haley-james-linganore-winery-wedding-frederick-md-jmphotographymd When I got the message from Haley about 2 years ago, I had no idea that she and her fiancee James would quickly become favorite wedding clients!  We met for the first time in person last year for their engagement session.  I could instantly tell how in love they were and how wonderful this union was going to be.  

Fast forward to the wedding day.  We arrived in Hanover around 9am to find bridal preparations in full swing.  The couple's new home was buzzing with bridesmaids and stylists, and of course a very important member of the wedding party, their doggy, Adonis.  He spent the first moments barking at us and checking out all our photo equipment.  He warmed up and we went about our work.  We spent the whole morning capturing all the silly times of this lively crew, then it was off to the church!  We headed to lovely historic Mount Airy to Calvary Church to prepare for the ceremony.  We pulled in just as the groom and his fellows were pulling onto the premises.  We had never seen such big smiles.  

Once everyone was dressed to the nines, our next big moment was the "First Look".  Now this wasn't your not so traditional moment where the bride and groom get to "cheat" and see each other before the altar.  We decided the throw in our own special twist and switch the groom out for the father of the bride.  We kept Dad outside, and let Haley sneak up on him for an emotional reveal that had everyone in tears and me mentally noting that we should do this at every wedding, from now on, forever!  Once everyone was composed, we headed inside for the big moment!  The ceremony was stunning, not a dry eye in the house.

After some time for everyone to take some phone pics and dote on the bride and groom, we headed to the reception.  We found the wedding party hanging out by the bride and grooms little red convertible upon the stunning grounds of the Linganore Winery and Winecellars.  Family formals flew by and before we knew it, the happy couple were sharing a heartfelt first dance in the ballroom.

The reception was amazing, including a touching and hilarious choreographed dance between the bride and her father.  The sun set just as the cake was being cut and we slipped out for some glowing portraits in the vineyard.  Haley and James were up for anything and ready to make some amazing memories.  This was one for the books and a sweet and darling couple that will not be forgotten.  We wish a long and beautiful life of love and happiness to Mr. and Mrs. James & Haley Taylor!!!

Mollie is 1! https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2017/5/mollie-is-1 As you know, I am a huge fan of repeat clients and I love watching children grow up over the years!  That being said, this next session was right up my ally!  My dear wedding clients Natalie and Alex combined their sweet engagement session with an adorable newborn session for their daughter Mollie almost a year ago.  I was then, completely thrilled when Natalie contacted me recently about Mollie's first birthday!  It was wonderful to catch up and see how this little lady has grown!  We had tons of fun, considering she slept through our first session, we got lots more action this time!  I hope you enjoy this little preview and join me in saying...Happy Birthday Mollie!!!

Natalie + Alex | Winter Wedding | Damascus, MD | JMPhotography https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2017/1/natalie-alex-winter-wedding-damascus-md-jmphotography It is so heartwarming when a dear friend and client loves your work enough to recommend you to a friend.  I met Natalie in the midst of her wedding planning and later realized we had many connections in common and though at different times, attended the same high school.  She and her husband Alex along with their sweet and adorable daughter made the loveliest of wedding clients and we even got to throw in a newborn engagement session to top it off!  We had such an amazing time capturing this stunning winter wedding.  The venues were stunning as well as the perfectly styled wedding party.  From exquisite flowers, to an enchanting evening of dining and dancing, this wedding is what little girls dream of and we were honored to be a part of it.  All the best to Natalie and Alex for an amazing happily ever after...

Sara's Adventurous Senior Session https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2016/10/arlensenior When I met up with Sara and her parents for her senior session, I was promplty informed that Sara was not a big fan of having her photo taken.  This definitely did not shine through in her photos.  Sara was a natural and the camera loves her!  We started shooting and she quickly started having fun posing and climbing.  We had so much fun making our way around the park and capturing Sara's adventurous spirit.  I know this girl is going to do great things and it is obvious just how proud mom and dad are of her.  My best wishes for a bright future to this amazing young lady!

Haley & James | Engagement | Mt. Airy, MD | JMPhotography https://www.julieclingan.com/blog/2016/7/haley-james-engagement-mt-airy-md-jmphotography When I first heard from Haley last year, I was super excited at the idea of booking a wedding 2 years away.  I loved that her and her fiancee were as excited about my photography as I was and that they wanted to be a part of the growing family of JMPhotography!  Over the past year, we waited in gentle anticipation for James to go on leave from his current military assignment.  This past weekend, we were all in the same state and ready to meet up for this fantastic session celebrating their love and including their two adorable doggies, one of whom will be the ring bearer in next year's wedding!  We had a great meeting to start talking about the big day and then went for a little walk to capture some special moments and a lot of love!  I cannot wait to spend that special day next June with this beautiful couple!
