I just adore the M family! I have to admit, this was one of the easiest commutes to a session… because I just had to walk next door! When these sweet neighbors asked if I would photograph their little baby girl arriving home, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. We had already captured their maternity […]

I absolutely love end of the year posts. They’re so much fun to write and I love collecting all the numbers to see how many of you I had the honor of serving. 2021 was a big year for my business (read about it here!) but 2022 was a year of refinement. I kept thinking […]

After being a Maryland family photographer for several years now, I’ve got some tips to help make your child more comfortable for family portraits. Oftentimes, parents are worried about how their kids or toddlers will handle being in front of the camera. I get it – it can be a lot to have a stranger […]

The memories we capture are important, and I want to do everything I can to develop a stress-free process that is meaningful and exactly what you’re hoping for. This […]

When planning your […]

I adore the W family and I’m so happy we were able to have a lifestyle portrait session for them to welcome home their new baby girl! This little one was just so eager to meet the world that she came a bit early and had to stay in the NICU for a few weeks. […]

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, planning your next portrait session may not always be the top priority for you and your family. But, as your friendly family portrait photographer, I’m here to remind you that it should be! I fully believe documenting your family professionally every year should be a priority. Your […]

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 […]
