The bond between a mother and child is so special and unique. It begins during pregnancy and continues to grow throughout the child’s life. This bond is formed through a combination of biological, emotional, and social factors. Dads may feel like they’re being left out of some pretty important stuff because they don’t get to […]

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 […]

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 […]

Last year, my photographer friend, Christina, and I got together and took some epic cherry blossom photos in Columbia for each other. We found a great place in Columbia, MD, and, despite the fact that thousands of people walk through this area every day, no one was around. We had the place to ourselves and […]

HAHAHA. I will be the first person to say that, while my intentions were good, I failed epically on getting this mommy and me post published on time. My New Year’s resolution was to get blogs published within a reasonable time frame and I have clearly failed on that too. This session was done in […]

Mommy and Me sessions are so special and important. I’ve been on a soapbox lately about how important it is to get Moms in the frame. So often, mom is the one behind the camera and never in the picture and, one day, the kiddos are going to look back and wonder if mom ever […]
