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 […]
There’s something really special about welcoming returning families into the studio—like catching up with old friends and getting to celebrate some of life’s most beautiful milestones together. This newborn session with baby Meyer was exactly that kind of experience. This wasn’t Meyer’s family’s first time in front of my lens—we originally met when I photographed […]
Some sessions just make your heart melt — and these twin milestone photos absolutely elicited that reaction in me. Stephanie first reached out to me over the winter, hoping to book newborn photos for her identical twin girls, Quinn and Riley. Unfortunately, my schedule was already full (which always breaks my heart!), but we pivoted […]
Over this past winter, I’ve been busily putting together my ideas to begin offering studio maternity photos. As I mentioned in my previous blog post, my photography business has gone through many different iterations in terms of what I offer. When I started, I photographed EVERYTHING. In my past life as a postpartum and newborn […]
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. From the tender newborn moments to the joyful chaos of a first birthday, each session tells a piece of the story that families will cherish forever. Baby Elizabeth was one of those special little ones I had the […]
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 […]
