About a week after my Photo Session in Lake Linganore with Meredith and her family, I passed her on a walking trail in her neighborhood while photographing another family. “I LOVE the photos so much,” she yelled! These are the moments I love as a photographer. Family Photo Session in Lake Linganore This was my […]

Photo sessions in the Fall are quite possibly my favorites. Here in Maryland at least, the season of Autumn can carry with it any temperature between 40 and 80 degrees and can be a complete lush greenery background or the most vibrant and bold of colors. And, all of that allows a lot of flexibility […]

Anais is a new client of mine and I hope she is a forever client. I loved planning the session with her — she has a great eye for beauty and knows the importance of family photos and memories.  Anais is a lawyer, certified health coach and an incredible mom. They traveled more than 45 […]

Rachel gifts me with the privilege of photographing her family of five each year. It’s always a session filled with laughter and silliness, running, twirling and exploring. Her oldest daughter and my daughter are part of a bestie pirate crew and I love capturing her kiddos during their Lake Linganore Photo Session. Annual Lake Linganore […]

A lot of people assume that my house must be filled with tons of bright corners and clean spots for photos. In actuality, my home is small, dark and cluttered with lots of important things. I love our home and I think it’s super-cozy and “us” — but it’s definitely not the most ideal place […]

My co-founder and dear friend, Diany, and I both experienced […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — repeat clients make my heart so happy. It means they trust me; it affirms that my work is what they need in their world and on their walls; it makes it feel like a friendship. I get to watch their kiddos grow up and change and it builds a really beautiful comfort level between us during photo sessions.

One of the questions I receive most from family and childrens’ session clients is along the lines of “Should I bring props to my photo session?”

Sarah and Mike are new(ish) to the neighborhood and bring with them a total of three kiddos. The five of them feel more like extended family most days — Sarah and Mike are so fun to be around and their kiddos are frequent visitors to our backyard.
