I love when I get repeat clients, but I didn’t expect to get any repeats in STL. I shot Ellie’s first birthday last January (and I have yet to blog about it…if you haven’t seen Korean birthday traditions, you need to check it out!). While her grandparents are local to the DMV and her mom […]
Erin + Charlie | Forest Park in Saint Louis
Erin has been an important person in my life for two and half decades. Making her giggle when she was two, singing the wrong words to Little Bow Wow, and hanging our heads upside down and calling it “funny hair” still reign as some of my all-time favorite memories in my life. So naturally, I […]
St. Louis Family Photographer | Fall Minis in Forest Park
Saint Louis will always be one of my favorite cities. Many people know I am a military spouse, but many people do not realize that I am originally from Saint Louis. Because of military life and having little kids, it had been years since I was back in Saint Louis—one of my favorite places. In […]
Sunflower Senior Session | Southern Maryland Photographer
High School senior sessions are a serene break for me from all of the other types of photography I do. You would think that as a high school teacher, these would be the least of a “break”, but connecting with a senior one on one is part of why I became a teacher. I love […]
Catesby Farm Styled Shoot | NOVA Wedding Photography
Wedding photography has been something I have been intrigued by for a while, but when my husband deployed, I knew I had to postpone any dreams of learning more about the world of wedding photography. Unlike family sessions, weddings go on despite the weather. There are no postponements because of rain or because my client […]
NOVA Milestone Photographer | Charlotte’s Second Birthday
A milestone session is one of my favorites, as are repeat clients. In Charlotte’s second birthday party, I had the opportunity to experience both! A lot was the same as last year (see some shots from last year here): Charlotte is adored by her mom, dad, and grandparents. She still loves her bunny, and we […]
Maryland Family Photographer | L Family
As a Maryland family photographer, I feel like we see all sorts of weather. Today is rainy and cold, but just last week we were in the 90s despite it being early October. I’m not sure how, but my fall families so far have had amazing weather, and this family, in particular, ended up having […]
Southern Maryland Family Photographer | Mackenzie {3 Months Old}
Southern Maryland has so many great locations for family pictures, but Jefferson Patterson Park is one of my favorites for the variety I can get there! I really wish I lived twenty minutes closer so I could use this park as a regular play location for my kids. You have piers and water, tall grass […]
NOVA Family Photographer | Baby Jonathan {3 Months Old}
I find myself going through spurts in my photography locations and where my clients come from. Northern Virginia (NOVA) was a hot spot for many, many sessions when I started my business, but lately more of my clients have been from Southern Maryland or Annapolis; luckily, one of my teaching colleagues brought me back north […]
Milestones | June – 1 Year Old
Milestones are so much fun, and one thing I have learned photographing little kids in the last three and half years is that the age of one looks so different on each kid. Pediatricians set milestones for us about a child’s development… can he sit? Can she walk? Can he talk? Can he hold an […]
