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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
