For my birthday this past year i held a silent auction on Facebook and Instagram for different types of photography sessions.

I offered several different types of sessions that I thought would be fun to shoot, both for me and for my clients.

Offerings included everything from a grown-up cake smash to a four elements themed session.

The most popular session was the Dramatic Outdoor Portrait Photography session.

This outdoor portrait photography session is the first of two that I will be shooting this year, and it is just as amazing as I had envisioned it being.

Assateague Island is amazingly beautiful.  There is the beach, dunes, marshes, and of course, the wild ponies roaming the Maryland side of the park.  We were there just before the yearly pony penning on the Virginia side of the park, but even so the park offered plenty of open spaces to create beautiful photographs.

The bugs were horrific, but the sunset and the beach were so great that I almost forgot all about it.
