As a North Potomac Maternity Photographer, I work really hard to make your specific vision for your photo session come to life. Whether that means scoping locations from cliffside to columns, perfecting wardrobe selections, or including an extra family member for part of your session, I am here to customize each session to fit your wants and needs.

Did you know that you can absolutely bring your furry family members to sessions? Your pups are part of your family! They should be included in life’s most special moments if that is what you want! Adding your dog to your photo session is the perfect way to capture family milestones.

This absolutely stunning couple wanted to commemorate their pregnancy with their adorable pup, Pocky. And mama looked SO gorgeous in her dresses and perfect hair and makeup! You can find dupes of her dresses here and here. Did I mention I have the sweetest clients ever? The biggest gift of my job other than allowing me to capture your most precious milestones, is being able to spend time with some of the kindest people. I am an introvert by nature, which I realize may not be obvious in my chosen line of work! This job allows me to meet so many wonderful people, and this family was no different! We had a lovely time during their session and I can’t wait to share their newborn session on the blog too! Catching up on blogging has been such a lovely trip down memory lane!

As a North Potomac Maternity Photographer, I have some great tips for bringing a pup to your session! They can be found here. This may be a good time to note that I can also do pet portraits! Feel free to send me a message to learn more!
