Southern Maryland Family Photographer | Mackenzie {3 Months Old}

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}

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 […]

Silver Spring Family Photographer | Yael’s First Birthday

Silver Spring Family Photographer | Yael’s First Birthday one year old in silver spring

Silver Spring isn’t a city I frequent often, but I was able to help out the Elitzur family when their first photographer became ill. Two things I love are cake smashes and big happy families, and I got both with Yael’s family. First birthday parties are often a reason for many family members to come […]

Lifestyle newborn photography is one of my favorite genres to document! Amelia’s family had one main element that I love when doing a session: a lot of kids! I know many people get nervous around the chaos of a big family, but the fact that was the youngest out of five made it even more […]

However, I’m also a sucker for milestones and cake smashes. I was learning how to use a digital camera as my kids hit those monthly milestones, and […]

Joyce’s Retirement from National Military Family Association | Hart Senate Building Room 902 joyce raezer wessel and elizabeth dole

For a few years, I’ve been “volunteering” with the National Military Family Association (NFMA). I say that in quotes and loosely because I feel like I don’t do a lot. I read the e-mails and Facebook posts, I have shared events in military spouse groups I am part of, and I help moderate the Milspouse […]

Lifestyle Newborn Session | Mackenzie {Three Weeks Old}

Lifestyle Newborn Session | Mackenzie {Three Weeks Old}

Lifestyle newborn sessions are ones I love dearly! Although anyone who knows me I don’t love the overly posed newborn shots. For me, the magic of a newborn session is seeing the family dynamics change because of this tiny life. Everything revolves around the baby. I was reminded of this during my visit with little […]
