Maryland Family Photographer | The Ezzat 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 so many candid photos of my sister and me with our relatives. Part of why I decided to make my love of a photography a business was because I wanted other military families to have a chance to get in the frame. I didn’t think that we needed to sacrifice that with all of the other sacrifices we make.

This past summer I did a lot of photography, but I wasn’t documenting families as much, and my heart missed it. I spent the summer doing some professional development through Clickin Moms and Katelyn James, and I had a location I wanted to try out, so I put a model call out for a family, and photographer Kasey Ezzat replied.

I was grateful she was willing to try out a location in Prince George’s County… I know she had access to the look I was going for in Howard County, but since most of my clients are from Southern Maryland, I wanted to have a location that would work for family photography in that demographic.

We actually ventured to a location I had been to before, but I wanted to try a few new playful poses and play a bit with the light to see if I could get the look I wanted for at this spot. I’m so happy with how these turned out, especially considering the field was buggy, and it was SUPER hot. Her husband and kids were troopers!

I included a lot more than I usually do in a blog, but I wanted to showcase what I love about my final galleries: play, connection, and details. If nothing else, those are the three words that I hope my clients see when they look at my work.

And this location will definitely be on my list for my clients. I’m excited to be going back there in September already!

Meet Teresa

WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PEOPLE WHO want their story told

Hi. I’m Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn’t ever get treated like it’s not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English, journalism, and photography at an all-boys’ school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

You’ll see in galleries with my families, children, newborns, or weddings, my style definitely is more about documenting connection and trying to create real moments. I love a good portrait, but my heart is happiest when I get real smiles from people loving on and playing with each other.
