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 đ€Ș I’m also going to pepper through some of my favorite […]

When Dad Shows Up (And I Mean Really Shows Up) Letâs just admit it… sometimes maternity photography sessions can feel a little one-sided. Mom is glowing, her belly beautiful and her mood serene, and then thereâs Dad… standing stiffly to the side like he forgot how to move his arms đ€·ââïž. Sound familiar? Ok, sometimes […]

So, youâve brought your sweet baby home (đ sleep is optional at this point, right?), and the question hits: when is the best time to schedule newborn photos? You blink and suddenly your teeny tiny newborn has grown out of those curled-up poses and is giving side-eye to any attempt to wrap them like a […]

Let me be real with you for a second⊠I can stretch myself artistically. Iâve shot in tiny condos, crowded nurseries, and dark winter homes – where I swear the sun hibernates until April đ But nothing tests my skills quite like a lifestyle newborn session in a dimly lit space so, for the sake […]

Heirloom Portrait Photography is a new passion of mine and one of my goals in the upcoming year is to become known as Maryland’s Heirloom Portrait Photographer.

Ever wonder when your newborn photos will arrive? In this post, Iâm walking you through my gallery delivery process step-by-step. From proof galleries to final edits, sneaky peeks and slideshow tears, Iâve got you covered on what to expect.

Thereâs something really special about welcoming returning families into the studioâlike catching up with old friends and getting to celebrate some of lifeâs most beautiful milestones together. This newborn session with baby Meyer was exactly that kind of experience. This wasnât Meyerâs familyâs first time in front of my lensâwe originally met when I photographed […]

Some sessions just make your heart melt â 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 Hartleyâs all-white first birthday, and it was a session that truly embraced the beauty of tradition. The Family Tradition: An All-White First Birthday […]
