I’m a mama with a business and a regular old corporate job too, so last minute sessions can’t always be accommodated! With that said, I am always willing […]

As a Montgomery County maternity photographer, maternity sessions are my bread and butter. I bring my photography style and technique to every session, but you bring your own personality and beauty.

As a Rockville cake smash photographer, I love the planning and execution involved in cake smash sessions. They are all so unique and I love bringing your vision to life.

As a Great Falls maternity photographer, it is true magic when everything falls into place during sessions. Location, weather, light, season, wardrobe – so many variables impact the final look of a session.
