I did these beautiful at home newborn photos just a few short weeks after meeting Jackie and Ryan for the first time. Jackie had arranged maternity photos with another photographer but those had fallen through. She found me and we quickly pulled together an in-home maternity session because their home is stunning, light-filled and just […]

I love my job as one of Maryland’s maternity and newborn photographers. I take pride in being able to offer posed (in my studio) and lifestyle (in your home) newborn photos. Offering both options allows parents to choose the style that best fits the memories they want to have of their newborn baby. It is […]

The beautiful thing about having been in business for almost 4 years and having lots of content to share on my blog and social media is that, when people seek me out for photography, they generally know what they’re going to get. I’m a light and airy photographer so I strive to produce images that […]

I’m sitting here on a rainy afternoon thinking about baby Hadley and her parents, who I met at the beginning of December. This story actually began this past fall when Cameron, a labor and delivery nurse in Virginia, was considering learning newborn photography. As a night shift worker, the hours can loom long and unforgiving […]

Ok. Let’s all address the elephant in the room. Photos with a toddler can be challenging. Let me list the reasons: Toddlers are opinionated. Toddlers require a LOT for their own happiness (and also nothing – see toddler ignoring the expensive toy in favor of the box…but I digress) Toddlers need an endless supply of […]

Isn’t it interesting how things come about? Since starting my photography business in 2017 and then deciding to specialize in maternity, newborn and first year milestones last year, I have worked very hard on honing my style and putting out into the world what I want to attract back. If I wanted to photograph vibrant […]

Whenever I get an inquiry for a lifestyle (in-home) session, I always squeal a little. I adore lifestyle sessions. Granted, I vet them very carefully to make sure that I can deliver the style that my clients have come to expect from me…but when I know that a client’s home gets great natural light and […]

I’m sitting at swim team practice (some of my most enjoyed times this summer, I’m finding – breezy, summery, the sounds of my and others’ kids getting good, healthy, wholesome exercise, no one needs me for an hour – HEAVEN) committed to spend this entire hour blogging. It’s the never-ending struggle for me. I like […]

Awhile back, I blogged about Chris and Kari’s in-home lifestyle maternity session. I talked about how Covid was breaking my heart because I had to cancel so many newborn sessions – and we all know newborns don’t keep. Well, miracle of miracles, Maryland opened back up to photographers and I was able to socially distance […]
