Every once in awhile, I get the chance to photograph my friends. These Howard County snowy maternity portraits features one of my favorite people and her beautiful family. Over the last year, this stunning mama and I have become close friends. When I found out that they were expecting a little girl and their son […]

Recently, a client and dear friend of mine said: “I just wish I had more pictures with my mom.” That single sentence simultaneously broke my heart and reminded me why I do what I do as a family photographer. So many of us look at portrait sessions as a “here and now” thing, when really […]

This is one of my favorite spots in Howard County because it’s always quiet and looks […]
