I know that everyone wants a “perfect” family photo session — all group hugs and posed moments — but I really believe there is beauty in the more “imperfect” moments. I’ve photographed Michelle’s family several times now and I feel luckier and happier each time I do. I have captured her and her daughter playing […]

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 […]

Watching repeat clients and their families return to in front of my camera is one of the greatest joys of my business. I first met Brooke and her family last Autumn while her husband was away on a deployment. I loved hanging out with Brooker and her two oldest boys. We explored, ran around and […]

This family includes one of my dearest friends in Maryland and her gorgeous family. Rachel and Adam and their kiddos have been an important part of our lives since we moved to Lake Linganore just over two years ago. Their eldest daughter has been in our daughter’s class two of the past three school years […]

There are few “jobs” in this world as difficult — and as rewarding — as being a parent. Life and destiny hand you a small human and an unpredictable 18 to 85 years, God willing, to create a kind person and to lay down the foundation for a future that is full of potential and […]

Laura first contacted me as a very excited and grateful winner from a giveaway I did with a local family event last year. She was yearning to capture her son, Ethan before the next phase of childhood flew by them without any images to remember it. Laura and Ethan have had a difficult year and […]

Photographers can be the WORST photography clients. We know too much; we think too much. Is this an odd angle for my body? How’s the background for bokeh? Is this sun too harsh here? We are the WORST. I especially hate being in front of the camera. I don’t like the spotlight being on me […]

I’m feeling so fortunate this year that my Fall family photo sessions are a beautiful mix of return clients (thank you for trusting me again with this honor) and new faces that have allowed me the joy of capturing memories of their families. When Meredith first reached out to me, I had seen her name […]

One of the most special things in our journey of advocacy, inclusion, awareness and everyday life with Zach is seeing the abundance of “real”, natural, easy friendships he has been gaining with kids who do not have special needs. At first, it was merely family friends or neighbors or friends of his little sister. But […]
