As parents, we wish to hold onto every precious detail, every new expression, and every milestone.

Today we’re going to talk Bucket List Photo Locations. I’ve been in business since March of 2017 so I’ve done a LOT of photo sessions. When you’re first starting out, you shoot anywhere that the client wants. Oh, I’ve shot in so many places that I look back on now and shake my head at. […]

As a former postpartum and newborn nurse, breastfeeding is near and dear to my heart and, at every opportunity, I offer breastfeeding photo sessions. I breastfed all three of my children for at least a year each. It was the most precious connection to share during that time and, often, I think back and kick […]

Today we’re going to talk about when you should reschedule your photo session. I have to be honest here…I’m not one of those hard core, heavy duty photographers who will shoot in tornados and gale force winds and epic snow storms. That’s just not my style and I know that about myself. My clients know […]

Maybe you’ve never thought about what a Google review means to a small business – and if you’re not a small business, why would you?? – but I’m here to tell you that it means A LOT. So many people make a hiring decision based on reviews and the difference between a business that has […]

So here we are, one year into the Covid pandemic with hospital restrictions still in place. So many new moms and dads have had to sacrifice their dreams of a Fresh 48 session – which are photos of the brand new baby, usually taken at the hospital, within the first two days of the baby’s […]

Back when the mayhem started in mid-March, I was sure that this would all have blown over by now. Oh how naive I was – and still am – praying that things can go back to normal sooner than later. Because the state of Maryland is still in upheaval, I thought it best to put […]

It’s a pretty perfect day, I gotta be honest. After a loooong, rainy April in a spring characterized by the Covid-19 quarantine and stay-at-home orders across the land, May has come in exactly how I prayed it would. I’m sitting on my bed with my laptop, windows wide open with my sheer curtains billowing in […]

Being a motherhood photographer, I document all things pregnancy, newborn and baby. Oftentimes, families will inquire about maternity and newborn photos but many people still don’t know that I offer newborn photos in the hospital, also known as Fresh 48 photos. It’s crazy how quickly newborns transition from that teeny, tiny just born babe in […]

*** Edited to Add: This blog post was published before being deemed a nonessential business. Once Governor Hogan closed nonessential businesses and mandated social distancing, all my photo sessions were rescheduled or canceled. My heart has been broken for all the mommas who had to let go of their dreams for their maternity session or […]
