Welcome

Howdy and welcome to the Elizabeth McCormick Photography blog. I'm Elizabeth, an on location photographer of babies, children and families. I am located in Wilmington, Delaware, however, I do travel to locations such as Baltimore all the way up to the NJ shore.

Through this blog I hope to give you a glimpse of what I've been up to and a better idea of who I am. You'll see sneak peeks of sessions and also tidbits into my own personal wild and crazy life.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Au revoir

The studio will be closed May 14th – 22nd as I will be out of the country (ha, always wanted to say that!). I am so proud of my brilliant husband who was selected as one of the ‘Best of IBM’. This award includes a trip to Monte Carlo and Paris. It’s a huge honor for him and a wonderful perk for myself! A photographer set loose in springtime Paris  – someone please pinch me!

Happy Mother’s Day!

 

Lovely

Congratulations to this beautiful little lady on her First Communion day!

So nice to see one of my all time favorite families again too!

 

Mr. Wonderful

I see most of the repeat kiddos I photograph on an annual basis. However, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting this little fellow throughout his first year. Watching a fresh newborn grow into a bubbly 6 month old and then a determined toddler in front of my camera has been a fascinating experience. Images from all 3 sessions will be preserved in a gorgeous heirloom album sure to be cherished.

Remember this chubby bundle of joy?Now one year later (with the same basket). Howdy!While I’ve enjoyed watching Mr. Wonderful grow, it’s also been amazing to observe mom & dad’s love and confidence as parents blossom.

 

Fresh

It was such a pleasure to photograph this brand new princess. She is perfect in every way – such a breath of fresh air on this lovely spring day! Mom and dad could not be more thrilled with their little bundle and new titles.

Had to include the first born furry baby as well! Congratulations!

 

Sisters

I don’t often photograph outside during the bleak & chilly winter months. However, for this session I was fortunate to have lovely subjects, a 60 degree day (in January!) and a photographer’s dream of a location. The session was held at the quaint & charming Sweetwater Farm Bed and Breakfast in the historic Brandywine Valley. I was in heaven with the fieldstone Manor House, Grace Winery in the newly renovated barn, gorgeous landscaping and livestock on the grounds. My breathtaking subjects decided to surprise their folks with long overdue updated portraits. It was such a pleasure meeting these two bright and talented women. Makes me wish I was blessed with a sister of my own. Sigh…

 

Katie + Nick 12/17/11

Congratulations to the most wonderful couple! Katie & Nick had a chilly, but lovely wedding day. It even flurried a bit (they say snow is a sign of fertility and prosperity). The amazing event was held in charming Lancaster County at the historic Inn at Leola Village. Katie was an absolutely breathtaking bride and Nick positively dapper! The love for each other and from their families was abundant. Thank you for allowing myself and the talented Sue from Sue B Photography to capture & be a part of your extraordinary day!I just had to show this small, yet significant detail. A gift from the best man who happens to be another shutterbug!The stunning bridesmaids.The handsome groomsmen.Just the boys and dad.A quiet moment before walking down the aisle.

Almost time…

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

 

Hate Shopping?

And still searching for that perfect gift? Well, look no further – gift certificates from Elizabeth McCormick Photography are sure to please! Plus from now until December 20th received a bonus $100 print credit with every $250 purchase. Can’t be any easier than that!Yep, this is my Brian with his holidays mixed up. He’s been wearing this St. Patrick’s Day hat round the clock since 2010. I wonder how long it will last…

 

Gorgeous

Both my subject and the weather were absolutely breathtaking this afternoon. Who would have thought late November would bring a day in the mid sixties with a soft cloud covering? I also thoroughly enjoyed having an adult conversation and not sprinting around like a lunatic during the session!Those boots – love, love ‘em!It was a pleasure meeting you. Best of luck as you embark upon many adventures!

 

Still Spunky

It’s such a thrill to enter a client’s home and see my art hung lovingly on their walls. Mom has a knack for decorating and displayed last year’s images fabulously. While the children are a year older, they are still the same gorgeous and spunky kiddos I adored last fall!Grandmom & Granddad stopped by and I simply had to have them in front of my camera as well. Such a warm and caring family!

 

Soccer Stars

I can definitely relate to this busy family who were going directly from our photo shoot to a soccer game. Seems like that’s all I did in the month of October – take pictures and go to soccer! Besides being athletes, there is plenty of musical talent in this wonderful family. So neat to hear about it. It was a pleasure meeting all of you!More to come…
