This Maryland maternity session at Riversdale Manor was in the middle of winter. It was a chilly February day when we ventured to Riversdale for this maternity session. Despite the frigid temps, this mama’s glow exuded so much warmth and grace. Mama wore a dress from the client wardrobe I provide clients. Along with her […]

I have the fondest memories of my babymoon in Ireland. Zach and I packed our bags when I was 20 weeks pregnant with Perry and traveled across Ireland, Scotland, and England over the course of two weeks. We immediately fell in love with everything about Ireland – the people, the lush green landscapes, the castles, […]

Supporting DC small businesses has always been important to me, but even more so since the pandemic commenced.
