Every family has their own story. Some are loud and messy, filled with belly laughs and crayon drawings on the walls. Others are quiet and steady, marked by knowing glances and well-worn routines.

As a family photographer in the DMV area, I’m always looking for ways to improve my photography, my offerings, and portraits I create for my clients.

Congratulations to A and D! They’re welcoming their first baby and we celebrated with a sweet maternity session for them. We met at the always gorgeous Shrine of St. Anthony in Ellicott City and enjoyed the grounds talking about parenthood and capturing their maternity portraits. Maternity sessions are always so special to me. As a […]
I’m so excited to be sharing these sweet Christmas tree farm portraits with you today! I love photographing this family, and we’ve been doing this for many years. For this year’s portraits, we met at Friendship Tree Farm for fun seasonal portraits. While it wound up actually being a warm October day, we all imagined […]

When planning your […]

Parents are excited, overjoyed, and sometimes even anxious about their little one’s arrival – all of which is totally normal! I have the incredible job of documenting those last few weeks of pregnancy during their maternity session. I love being able to […]

I had a big moment of realization after BreAnne Weston’s workshop in Utah about family photos. Having moments documented and images are so priceless and special because parents may be in tough moments in their lives. They will be able to look back at those images and see how they were loved and how much […]
This summer I attended my first in-person family photography workshop: BreAnne Westron’s Finding Joy in Chaos. It was such a great experience!! There is a lack of in-person family photography education and I fully believe that as a professional, growth is important to ensure every session I create with my clients is what we all […]
