Another year has come and gone and I’m so thankful for each of my amazing CTP families and clients. I thought to celebrate this year, I would create some fun superlatives to give out – showing off some of my favorite moments from this year’s photo sessions. Every session this year has been a joy […]

One of the things that’s most important to me as a family photographer is capturing photos of your family that actually feel like YOU. There’s certainly a place for the photo of everyone smiling at the camera for your holiday card. But the photos that you’re going to display in your home are the ones […]

A and Z welcomed their baby boy this summer! I was absolutely honored that they asked me to capture new portraits as a family of three in their NOVA home to celebrate his arrival. In the spring, I documented their maternity session, so I knew how excited these parents were to hold their new bundle […]

One of the recent couples I photographed a maternity session for has welcomed their baby girl to the world! I had the honor of capturing their newborn portraits at home to celebrate. Their newborn session also featured their little one’s aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Having them there made their lifestyle newborn portraits even more meaningful […]

One of my favorite kinds of emails to open are the ones where someone is booking a photography session as a gift for someone they love. In this case, Dad wanted to surprise his wife with a session! It was important to them to capture this time in their life with their super sweet 18 […]

I absolutely adored working with the K family in their beautiful Clarksville, Maryland home! When mom reached out to me about schedule portraits to capture her three children’s personalities and love for each other, I couldn’t wait. We decided lifestyle family photos at home would be the best fit for all of them. After seeing […]

I’m loving these family features! In July, I shared my first family feature – showcasing one of the families who worked with me for the last few years. Today, I’m sharing my next family feature: the S family! I’ve worked with the S family since 2020 and I absolutely love all of them. Their girls […]

When this mama reached out to me about capturing photos of her sweet family in their Southern Maryland home, I couldn’t wait! As she explained to me what she was looking and hoping for in their photos, I knew we were going to have a wonderful time together. Their little boy is now 9 months […]

As a mom and a family photographer, I know that choosing the type of session that’s best for your family can feel overwhelming. There’s minis and full sessions.
