I just adored working with this extended family for their lifestyle session. Extended family sessions are typically chaotic – in the best way – because you’ve got so many people together to photograph. But this family’s lifestyle photos were so calm and peaceful. It was important to Kim and her family to capture the special […]

Sweet summertime! As the sun shines bright on each of us, summer proves to be the perfect season to make wonderful memories with our families. When you’re planning your special memories for the summer, consider turning one of those moments together into a family photo session! I love documenting real life for my families and […]

I have a confession: I don’t get the hype of fall family photos. I know I might get some side eye for this. But, it’s the truth!  I’ve been a Maryland lifestyle family photographer for years and I just… don’t understand them. Phew, I said it out loud! So many families wait until the fall […]

I am so excited to share this beautiful Hearth & Home Project! A Hearth is a symbol of one’s home – and it really became part of the meaning behind this beautiful family lifestyle session. I wanted to document that moment in some family’s lives where there is so much love… and so much coffee. […]

I grew up in a rural community and when a client reached out to head to Western Howard County for a family session that included their farmhouse, outdoor garden space, and a tire swing… I was so excited. It felt like going home in a way. All of these family lifestyle photos make my heart […]

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 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 […]
