Katie has four incredible sons — each with different interests and personalities. She came to me asking about doing a session to just highlight those four young guys individually and as brothers together. We planned a Lake Lingnanore family session to capture their playful personalities – and it couldn’t have been more fun! Lake Linganore […]

Believe it or not, Jen’s entire fall family photo session was inspired by a fence. She and I were sharing ideas back and forth while planning their third session with me. Can we take a moment to acknowledge how incredibly lucky I am to have repeat clients who give me the honor of capturing their […]

I love discovering and befriending neighbors-turned-clients. Tiffany and her family live just one street over from me. I can actually see their house from my house. We share some mutual friends and I always hear the same things about them — that they are friendly, nice, warm, kind. I wanted to capture exactly how wonderful […]

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!

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 […]
