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 […]
Maryland Family Photographer | The E Family
Family photography is why I got into photography in the first place. As a military family, we moved from state to state, and I realized that we never were somewhere where we could just hand a camera to a relative and get a family photo. When I was little, my mom, grandma, and uncle took […]
Silver Spring Family Photographer | Yael’s First Birthday
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 […]
Joint Base Andrews Lifestyle Newborn Photographer |Baby Amelia {3 Weeks Old}
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 […]
Calvert County Milestones Photographer | Paisley’s 1st Birthday
Documenting milestones and seeing families at different stages of their life is easily an amazing part of my job. Hands down, true family sessions are my absolute favorite. 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
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 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 […]
