As a small business owner and parent myself, I value a high end experience for all of my clients. That means I want them to get everything they wanted during their session with me – as well as before and after! This sweet family might look familiar. They were on the blog in March and […]

If you saw the blog last week, then this family might look familiar! We captured their beach family photos on their boat and then we had another session together. I love that they couldn’t totally decide between the type of family photos they wanted, so we just went for it and had two sessions together! […]

When this beautiful mama reached out to me, she started with, “I have this crazy idea…”  and right away, I knew this session was going to be unique and so much fun. Her crazy idea turned out to be a documentary style family portrait session on the family’s boat. I have to admit, it wasn’t […]

It’s such a small world!  This family found me on Instagram and were interested in me photographing their daughter. As we began to talk more and plan their milestone portraits, we found out that their sister works with me!! I was so excited to get to photograph my work bestie’s adorable niece during her Sherwood […]

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 […]

I absolutely love working with new families to capture the early days of their baby at home. When the M. family reached out to me about their new little boy’s arrival and a lifestyle newborn session in their Baltimore home, I was thrilled. We immediately got to chatting and planning. I can’t wait to show […]

As the spring quickly approaches, it’s common to see family photographers advertising their spring calendar. You might see announcements of “spring minis” as well as photographers talking about a regular, full session. If you’re wondering which is the right fit for your family, today’s blog post is for you! We’re going to talk about how […]

I love it when my families and clients bring their fur babies to their family portrait sessions with me. I think it’s so much fun to capture them because they truly are part of your family. I know that while it’s fun to bring them, it can also feel a bit stressful because not all […]

You probably know by now, but the Howard County Conservancy is one of my favorite places for sessions in the area. So, this year I hosted Fall Minis there. The J Family signed up for one of my slots and I’m so happy they did because I just love how their portraits turned out. Is […]
