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!

Adios Amigos

Elizabeth McCormick Photography will be closed from July 17th until August 2nd, 2010. However, I will not be stacking off in my time away from this dang computer. First stop will be Raleigh, NC to the Professional Photographers of America East Coast School. I am studying with Tom and Mario Munoz, wedding photographers extraordinaire! Then after a quick visit home, I’m off again to my next workshop with Karen Carey. Karen is a fine art photographer who shoots with film - wicked cool! I hope my brain can hold all the new info I’ll be learning. Finally, I’ll be reaching the beach with my family who will surely be missing me (and vice versa).

Happy Summer!

Lovely Morning

Most of my sessions are held in the late afternoon. However, we were all up nice and early in hopes to beat the heat & sun. After a reschedule in the fall due to illness and a reschedule in the summer due to weather, we were certainly going to make this day work! I had the most wonderful family for subject matter and they got me out of my morning run this day. Can’t say I didn’t make up for it in keeping pace with this silly twosome!


First up, the ever so handsome big brother…

Don’t you just love how even sister bracelets are completely coordinated?

Hope you enjoyed your delicious breakfast afterward! So happy I was finally able to capture this fabulous family.

Puppy Love

I can not think of a more wonderful combination than a 9 & a half year old girl (can’t forget that very important 1/2) and a 9 week old puppy! The pup is a Schnoodle - part Schnauzer and part Poodle. The young lady is 100% adorable. Both were on their very best behavior and we had a fun-filled afternoon despite the heat. I swear I might melt one of these days. It was a pleasure meeting you! Stay cool. I have many more images to come…

Not in Kansas Anymore (at Least for a Week Anyway)

It was fabulous to see my brother and his family over the holiday weekend. Unfortunately, they are a plane flight away so visits are infrequent. My daughter had a blast squealing and giggling with her cousins (yes, it was quite loud). Naturally, I had to have my nieces and nephew in front of my camera.

Good to see you guys. Wish you’d move to the East Coast!

So Shy


Yet so cooperative. This session was amazing! These kiddos are 8, 4 & 2 which usually means extremely limited attention spans and ability to follow directions. Nope, not for this family! They were all business and did all of the crazy things I asked of them without question. Big brother hardly said a peep, but his handsomeness just shouted at me. Red heads always brighten my day!Little sister was quite the spunky one and so stinking cute! Love her nail polish.I have never met a more easy going little man. He was fast asleep upon arriving to the session. Woke up happy and giggled throughout the session.A jolly good time! Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. Many more images to come…

Summer of ‘69

It’s always fun to learn a little about my amazing subjects and what makes them tick. I often sing the theme songs to the kiddie programs of the moment. However, this young fellow is wise beyond his years with impeccable taste in 80’s music. I belted out my best, yet rather off key, version of Bryan Adams. Boy did we have fun!Little brother is quite the charmer himself. I made the mistake of calling him a three-year-old! No way, he is most definitely four! Mom and dad were fabulous as well - lots of love in this family! Since I am a teeny, tiny photography studio (yup, it’s a one chick show) I rely on word-of-mouth for my business. This wonderful family came from a referral from an old, dear friend. We go back as far as first grade! Dawn, we MUST catch up over a cup of coffee or a shake at the Pit!

Hot, Hot, Hot!

Funny how the seasons seem to change overnight. I was just shoveling snow and WHAM, it’s summer. 90 degrees out, sticky and humid - what happened to spring! I had a terrific family in front of my camera on Memorial Day (many thanks go out all the kind and brave soldiers). The twins kept me on my toes and big sister was a huge help wrangling the little ones. Are you ready for the cuteness?Lots of giggles, but I did catch big sister in a rare calm and quiet moment.

What a fabulous family! So much fun. Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek.

Finally

This was one tough session to schedule. The weather simply would not cooperate. First it was too rainy, then too windy, next add a thunderstorm in there… Finally, a glorious day! This threesome definitely kept me on my toes. First up, big sister looking completely angelic for her Communion Day.

Some of you might remember this cutie patootie.Fast forward one year and she’s hollering “LOOK AT ME”! Got to keep up with her siblings.

Right smack in between the lovely sisters is this fine-looking lad! I love how the late day sun makes his eyes sparkle.
Ahh, togetherness!

Handsome

Still the season for First Communions. I have been so fortunate to have the most well behaved and wonderful kiddos in front of my lens. They are awfully good lookin’ as well! This young man was no exception. This first image was taken to compliment a portrait of big sister’s communion as they will hang next to one another. Ahh, the benefits of a custom photographer!Time for a quick change and then off for some more casual photographs. Here is the ever so helpful (and stunning) big sister.

What a fun afternoon! More images to come…

Lovely

Adorable, gorgeous, sweet, pretty, beautiful…. The list could go on and on in describing this little lady all dressed up for her First Communion.

Can’t leave out big brother. Those eyes, those amazing eyes!

I had the pleasure of having the whole good-looking family in front of my camera too!

Congratulations little sister! And a huge Happy Birthday goes out to big brother who just made the major milestone of hitting double digits! Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. Many more images to come.
