I know I photograph babies A LOT (and who can blame me), but I simply feel in love with this family session with older children. When mom Tamara reached out to me indicating her desire for meaningful portraits with her two older boys, I knew it was going to be so special. We met at […]

I met Victoria and her family at Brookside Gardens for this Montgomery County family session in early fall. I always photograph family sessions in the early morning for the light, the peaceful scene, and because little ones are always in a good mood! Brookside Gardens couldn’t have been more beautiful on this September morning. We […]

The 2022 Holiday Event, Christmas mini sessions at Butler’s Orchard, was such a joyful day! I was able to see some families I had photographed earlier in the year again and meet some new faces. These Christmas mini sessions were held on a chilly November morning, but all the families who came were so wonderful […]

I hosted Christmas tree farm mini sessions this past weekend as part of The 2022 Holiday Event, and boy, were they magical! Before last weekend, I dragged my three little ones and husband Zach to Butler’s Orchard to take some promo photos for The Holiday Event. Butler’s Orchard is an amazing family-owned farm that offers […]

This past August we hosted our first workshop with 15 other photographers. It was an AMAZING experience! Over the course […]

These Colvin Run Mill family photos were photographed on an early summer morning. We were gifted with the most beautiful morning light! Beatrice wished for photos with her parents and brother’s family, so we enjoyed documenting this lovely family as a whole and in smaller groups. When you book your session with Marie Elizabeth Photography, […]

How far out should I schedule my photo session? This is probably a question I get asked a lot. My husband Zach and I were just talking about this last night, and he suggested I write this post! How far out to schedule a photo session in his mind compared to mine were completely different, […]

Laura reached out to me to photograph their DAR Constitution Hall family session during their DC stay this summer. Laura and her family live in San Francisco and were spending the summer in the city. This was the first session I photographed at DAR Constitution Hall, and I LOVED it! DAR Constitution Hall had that […]

This mama and me session with two kids was so special because it was my sweet friend Jess of Jessica Palmer Photography. It is always an honor to photograph a friend, especially when this friend is a photographer! Aside from the fact that Jess is a dear friend of mine, I absolutely loved photographing this […]
