This warm weather is giving me life! Everyone is in a peppy mood and we’ve been spending every day this week outside. A favorite activity for my kids is playing near water. They can play and explore for hours on end. Early this week we had our first visit to Nanjemoy NRMA in Maryland to look for shark […]

Congratulations on starting your own photograph business! I was half excited and half scared out of my pants when I started. Actually maybe make that 40/60 instead of 50/50. There is so much to learn on the business side that I was completely not prepared for. I jumped in head first and it was like […]

So you’ve completed a year of taking photos every day – your 365 Project. As you may know I just completed a second year of my 365 Project. Whether it’s your first year or third year, it’s a huge accomplishment! Be proud of all the work you put into the project and creating the daily habit […]

Spring is right around the corner, friends! I noticed my daffodils coming out of the ground yesterday and the birds are extra chatty. With outdoor COVID mask restrictions in place, I thought it would be helpful to lay out some location options that are workable this Spring. I will list them in order of crowd level and overall […]

Warning: I am biased about how I feel when I see these photos. Because you guys…this is my brother!! And he just got engaged! We love her to pieces and are so excited for them! So naturally, now that she’s part of the family, I asked if I could take their engagement photos and get […]

I did it! I completed my second year of a 365 Project. For those of you who don’t know what a 365 Project is, let me simply explain: you take a photo every day. For me, I must use my “big” camera and the subject matter can vary although it’s 99.9% my kids. Halfway through my first […]

I love extended family sessions. This one in particular was extra special as this couple was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. As a family photographer I get a good amount of extended family sessions but this one was a rarity! Because of COVID this photoshoot was the main highlight of their celebration. I love that their son and […]

Much like many of your 2020 calendars, mine started off normal, hopeful, and excited for what the year would bring. In March all of that plummeted, quickly and obviously unexpectedly, like many of your calendars as well. There was a lot of stress with all of the unknowns which again I’m sure you’re familiar with. […]

The email you have been waiting for has arrived: “Your gallery from Kyle the Girl Photography is ready!”. Jump for joy, open the gallery, and slowly click through and savor each image on the large screen of your computer (this is how I imagine it to be, don’t inform me otherwise!). But now what do you do with […]

Are you a photographer? Or are you a client? This blog is for both of you! If you ever have a series of images you want to turn into an animated GIF then let me show you how in 3 easy steps. You can use images from your family or Senior session or images you take with your phone. Any combination […]

Are you looking for a perfect gift for Grandma? Maybe for her birthday, Mothers Day, or Christmas? Or maybe your family is gathering together and you want to capture that time for all of you to enjoy. In the session below, the two sisters went in together for an extended family photo session for their […]

The essence of Senior pictures is capturing their personality. Bottle up everything that defines who they are and treasure it forever. Show every side of their character, their talents, and their identity during this special time in their lives. This Senior girl represents all of this and more.  We met at the Workhouse Arts Center as it […]
