As a Maryland Family Photographer, I have some favorite Maryland photoshoot locations. These are my tried-and-true spots, whether they offer a scenic backdrop, gorgeous light, or even better, both! Some locations are best in early morning, others are favorable closer to sunset – this usually just depends what side the sun is on at the […]

I have always found milk bath photoshoots pretty, but I didn’t know just how beautiful and romantic they could be. I photographed my friend Sarah and her adorable family (you can see more of her family newborn photos in Annapolis here), and after we took photos of the whole family, Sarah and her beautiful baby […]

When to take newborn photos is one of the biggest questions I receive on consultation calls with expecting parents. Is there a golden period we need to aim for, or does it really matter? The answer is yes, there is a time frame we AIM for, but it is not a hard deadline by any […]

I am obsessed with this sweet family in these newborn photos in Annapolis. Baby girl joined three big siblings, making a family of six this past winter.

I adore the opportunity to chat and connect with mothers during the photo session experience, and often, we end up talking about a mom’s labor and delivery and postpartum experiences. As a mother of three children myself, I know all too well how impactful these experiences can be on a mother’s postpartum journey and recovery. […]
