When clients ask me what to wear for their family or maternity portraits, one of my first suggestions is always a flowy dress for mom. Dresses with flowy skirts and fabrics photograph really well – and everyone looks amazing in them! These dresses are comfortable and help almost all women feel great. Today, I wanted […]

When the M. family reached out to me about their new little boy’s arrival and a lifestyle newborn session in their Baltimore home, I was thrilled. We immediately got to chatting and planning. I can’t wait to show […]

If I’ve never said how much I love Downtown Annapolis, I’m saying it now. I was so happy when this sweet family booked their portraits and we began talking about locations.
