I’ve got some life and business updates on tap for today. I’ve been trying to decide how much I want to share because I know that once I say something, I’ll feel duty-bound to follow through… and follow-through isn’t one of my strong suits 🤪 I’m also going to pepper through some of my favorite […]
One of the things I love most about being a photographer is the opportunity to create sessions that are entirely tailored to my clients’ wishes. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Hartley’s all-white first birthday, and it was a session that truly embraced the beauty of tradition. The Family Tradition: An All-White First Birthday […]
Your little one’s first birthday is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and it’s so much fun to capture the joy with a cake smash photo session! But when it comes to planning these sessions, one question often arises: simple vs dressed up? Should you go for a minimalist, cake-only setup or create a scene […]
Lifestyle newborn sessions are always a joy, but there’s something particularly special about photographing a family in their own home. Recently, I had the privilege of capturing a beautiful, lively family of four in their DC row home, and it was a session full of love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. A […]
Following a baby through her first year of life is such a rewarding experiences as a photographer.

To kick off my inaugural blog (does inaugural count there – first blog in what feels like 4 years??), I’m sharing Enrique’s Baltimore Fresh 48 session that I shot a couple weeks ago. This session was so utterly precious for so many reasons – you’ll see it down below, don’t you worry! – that it’s […]
The basement of my home wasn’t always a baby photo studio… not by a long shot. This space has gone through MANY iterations during its time, from a cement-floored storage space, to a fully outfitted apartment that housed a nursing student for a couple of years and then a young married couple who was saving […]
I love all things baby. If it has to do with a baby, I want to be involved. Photographing them has become second nature to me. It’s weird how I always have nerves before photographing maternity sessions or family sessions but baby sessions never make me nervous. I think it’s because the maternity and family […]
Last year, my word of the year was Connections. You can read all about it here. I wasn’t going to do another word of the year this year because my enthusiasm for it dropped off shortly after I wrote the blog post (ha!) but, one day early in January, I was listening to a parenting […]
As a newborn photographer, one of the most important aspects of my craft is creating stunning compositions that showcase the beauty and innocence of my tiny subjects. Sometimes I get a little bored creating the same images over and over – there’s only so much you can do in newborn photography and the old standards […]
