I adore doing maternity pictures at the Shrine of St Anthony. This spot is special for so many reasons. There are tons of locations on the property to choose from, the architecture is amazing, the lighting is perfect morning and evening and it really is one of my favorite places to shoot. Maternity pictures at […]
One of my absolute favorite locations is the site of Hannah and Will’s beach maternity session. The vibe you get from the sand and the water and the beach grass is unlike any other. I knew I wanted a couple to model this location because it’s a place that I want to shoot over and […]
When I’m conducting a consultation phone call with a prospective client, one of the points I try to hammer home is that my goal during their photo session is to capture the relationship between family members. There are some photographers who really aim to snap those smiling-at-the-camera-CHEESE shots – and there’s definitely a place for […]
Truth moment: I hated the entire first quarter of the shots I took of this maternity session. The light was too harsh, the wind was gusting, her hair was flying everywhere (not her fault) and I just wasn’t happy with anything we got. I knew it in the moment but I couldn’t say that to […]
Don reached out to me just shy of Ashley’s birthday and told me he had a special request. They were expecting their second baby, another beautiful baby boy, and Don wanted to do something sweet for Ashley. See, the baby boy she was carrying, perfectly created by our God who makes no mistakes, had a […]
Woodlawn Manor is one of my very favorite places to shoot. It has been such a tried and true place for me. I know exactly where to go for amazing light at any point during the session, morning or evening. I have done family sessions, maternity sessions, fall mini sessions, 30th birthday sessions, sooo many […]
It’s so crazy to me that, as I’m sitting down to write about this freezing cold February Fells Point maternity session, we’re enjoying our first taste of “spring”. The irony isn’t lost on me – I’m remembering the bone chilling cold, the fact that my legs *still* weren’t warm after the 40 minute ride home […]
So, if you know me, you know that winter is not my jam. I much prefer to snuggle up inside next to the fireplace with my book, my pup, and my cup of hot, yummy coffee than do *anything* outside in the winter. I was not build for the cold and I have accepted that […]
One of the most frequent client requests I get is for garden maternity photos. It makes total sense, too. What better way to show off a body in bloom than surrounded by a garden in bloom (I’m sorry, I know it’s punny, I had to). But truly, I can always tell when spring is around […]
I’m going to talk about the gorgeous Christmas tree maternity photos I shot a week ago but first I need to get this off my chest. I went to Target today. Target used to be my place. It was a place I could count on to have what I needed every time I went. I […]
