As November creeps in, it can be trickier and trickier to find the bright and bold fall foliage colors of October for family photo sessions. But it’s still possible. For this session with a local Frederick MD family of four, it was all about some creative camera angles and finding all the best little spots […]

“Balance”It’s one of my favorite words. Each year, instead of a resolution, I choose a word or phrase to stick with me throughout the coming months and guide me in my choices for work and personal life. Last year, that word was “balance.” I’m really proud of the plans I put into action to make […]

I believe in a world where we cheer one another on and we don’t see any other entrepreneur as a competitor. (It’s why I love the Rising Tide Society so much!) I love when I see other business owners support one another and I can’t possibly count all of the times I’ve been inspired or […]

If you follow me online, you know that I’ve been listening to the holiday music since November 1st and that I love the Christmas season so much. I have a lineup of my favorite Christmas movies that I must watch every year (sometimes multiple times in a year) and I get so excited about creating […]

I love all of my new clients, don’t get me wrong. Their trust in me is so important.

I photographed Mom, Dad and Shelby last year for Fall photos and again earlier this year when Savannah […]

I first met Kayla Schadegg earlier this year at an event with the National Down Syndrome Society. When I first saw her, she was decked out in a dress and a tiara and I soon learned she was Mrs. Maryland. It was only later at another NDSS event that I realized Kayla was the proud […]

While most of my photos take place at some of my favorite waterfront and forested locations around Lake Linganore, every once in a while, a change of scenery is needed. It’s exciting to find a new location now and then, especially with a returning client and their family. For Mindi’s section with her three children, […]

Marta is an incredible inspiration as a mother — in 30 minutes time with her and her children, you can see her strength and love. You can feel the joy she brings to her son and daughter. Their laughter rings loud and gleefully whenever they are together. Marta reached out to me in the midst […]
