I so vividly remember how overwhelmed I was when preparing for the arrival of my firstborn. There are so many products and opinions thrown your way as a new mama, and it can be difficult to know what is right for you and your little one! Six years and two kids later, I have put […]

l may live in the largest county in Maryland, but I actually live in a pretty small rural town. Nate and I decided to move here right before the pandemic hit and honestly the majority of my clients are from Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and a decent way south of us in Maryland. As a […]

I have a confession to make. In all my time as a Maryland maternity photographer, I had never had a session on as dark of a day as that of Lorena and Mikey’s maternity session at Monocacy National Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland. I was a little nervous, but as soon as we started shooting and […]

Having a baby in this unprecedented time, while beautiful and joyous, can also feel filled with tough situations and uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant so many tough losses for mamas-to-be, from baby showers to in-person support throughout their pregnancy and birth, but beautiful Fresh 48 photos doesn’t have to be one of them.

I love being behind the camera. But there is no time as a photographer that I am happier than when I am photographing newborns. There is something incredibly special about photographing those fleeting moments and every changing details. I always reflect on what an honor it is to be invited into such a sacred time […]

The Greenfield family and the Reyneri Family concluded a very busy fall/holiday season for me, and I couldn’t have chosen a better group of people (or more adorable babies!) to close 2018 with. Heather, Tom, and baby Eli were such a pleasure to work with – so laid back, so friendly, and so in love with […]

OK, guys. I am behind. Like six blog posts behind. Juggling a science consulting job, feisty toddler, photography business, and pregnancy is no joke! I have so much on my mile long to-do list, but I am determined to catch up! I met the Reyneri Family through one of my dear friends and I am […]
