As a DC headshot photographer, I know that anything that can help you land your dream job is so important these days. Somewhere between 50,000-70,000 government workers have been laid off in the DMV. As a result, I wanted to give back to my community and fellow moms by providing a headshot session. I was […]

As a Maryland family and pet photographer, capturing your family’s special moments is at the heart of what I do. With that said, I recognize that sometimes capturing memories can come with the heaviness of a tough time. When Victoria reached out to ask if I would capture her family in light of her sweet […]

While I am currently only shooting outdoor sessions (hopefully this won’t be the case for long!), I look back so fondly on this session. Fresh 48s are THE BEST! They […]

As a Maryland studio photographer, I absolutely love creating timeless photos that capture the essence of my subjects. It’s no secret that I really love photographing my own kids. They are growing SO quickly, and I feel pressure to capture this time that they are rapidly changing and becoming big kids. My little one is […]

As a Maryland outdoor newborn session photographer, it is so magical watching your families grow. It is so lovely to be able to follow up with maternity session clients after their little one’s arrive.

As a Northern VA maternity photographer, I usually book sessions a few months in advance. I don’t have a ton of wiggle room outside of slow season! 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. We had so much fun on this early October maternity session last fall, with beautiful weather and a timeless backdrop. Adrienne and Danny were […]
