Read MoreBright and Airy Lifestyle Newborn Session
This cutie pie was wide awake during the majority of our session, wide eyed and cuddly. She stared at her mama and papa as they did what all new parents do- fawn over the peachfuzz, the rosy cheeks, and every last finger and toe.

Read MoreRustic Old Town Alexandria Wedding in the Fall
Their first look was at the Wilkes Street Tunnel, and much to our surprise, another wedding party was getting ready to do their own photos at the same spot when we arrived. Thankfully we squeezed in and got some amazing shots (and memories) in about five minutes!
Read MoreFun Vintage Wedding at Lithuanian Dance Hall
Michelle and Danny were married in a classic family church and then we headed to their first Baltimore City rowhouse apartment rooftop to take 1950’s vintage inspired portraits. Their reception was held at Lithuanian Dance Hall, a gem of a venue in Pigtown. There were vintage sci-fi table settings and a lime green decorated donut cake!
Read MoreWinter Engagement Photos at Loch Raven Reservoir

Read MoreFun Loving Engagement Session at Patterson Park
I met Katie and Zach at one of my favorite places in Baltimore, Patterson Park, for a casual and carefree engagement session. The grass was dotted with buttercups and they didn’t hesitate when I asked if they’d lay down in it!
Read MoreWinter Wedding at the Historic Admiral Fell Inn
Laura and Patrick live in NYC but travelled to Baltimore to celebrate their wedding with family and friends at the Admiral Fell Inn in Fells Point. They gave out Old Bay wedding favors and even had a cigar bar! We had about 30 minutes before their ceremony (and before dark!) to take some quick waterfront and rooftop portraits. Instead of a typical first look, Laura asked if we could organize one with her grandma. It was definitely my favorite part of their whole day! Well, that and all the spontaneous portraits the guests asked me to take during cocktail hour! This crowd was SO. MUCH. FUN.
Read MoreEagle's Nest Country Club Wedding in Phoenix, MD
This wedding at Eagle’s Nest Country Club was defined by Lindsay and Adam’s infectious and child-like giggles anytime they were near one another! I arrived in time for a few detail shots, but mostly, this couple wanted their day documented just as it unfurled with an emphasis on connections between family and friends. These dance floor photos are some of my favorites to date!!
Read MoreCasual Newborn Session with Twins in Hampden
Crystal and Renee live in a cozy little row house in Hampden with exposed brick, beautiful hardwood floors, and charming stained glass windows. I love that the aesthetic of in-home newborn sessions is always defined by the style of a person's home.
Read MorePierce's Park Family Session with Brothers
Photographing kids in their element means following their lead, getting down on their level, and occasionally enticing them into situations where they're cuddling up on mom. (That often takes creativity, since running around independently is pretty exciting!)
Read MoreBaby Lia in a Mt. Vernon Row House
Grace and three month old Lia are visiting from Turkey, so grandpa hired me for an at home photography session to document this precious time in Lia's babyhood.
Read MoreTimeless Ceremony at Chase Court in Mount Vernon
A few weeks before Sherie and Duvall’s wedding I got a phone call from Chase Court, a wedding venue in Mount Vernon, asking if I was free to photograph a one-hour ceremony. David, the venue owner, was offering a new package for couples on a budget. The deal is this- invite your closest family and friends to a one hour, midday ceremony in their beautiful courtyard and get flowers, a photographer, and a musician to serenade you down the aisle for one flat rate. Pretty darn good if you ask me! I had the afternoon free, leapt at the opportunity, and have zero regrets. Sherie and Duvall were the absolute sweetest!
Read MoreClassic Newborn Photos at Home in Roland Park
For all of my in-home sessions, I like to walk around a house and scope out where the loveliest light is. At Mary's house, the nursery and living room were absolutely beautiful and filled with natural light. I loved how bright and airy they felt!
Read MoreRainy Day Mini Session at Rawlings Conservatory
Even though it was a cold, rainy afternoon, we stayed warm and dry in the beautiful Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill Park. I'm normally down to make photos in almost any weather, but when tiny babies are involved, that can be tricky. I'm so glad this amazing venue exists!
Read MoreModern Waterfront Wedding in Canton
Chris and Hattie were married on a breezy summer's day in the heart of Canton, Baltimore's historical industrial district. Their ceremony was at St. Casimir Church and then everyone walked across the street to the waterfront. There was a mashed potatoes bar, an ice cream sundae station, and each guest signed a Jenga block instead of a guestbook.
Read MoreHomeland Duck Pond Family Session
This is the third year I've had the privilege of photographing the Lindamood family, and watching their girls grow has been a complete joy. While they've gotten taller, more independent, more introspective, goofier, one thing has stayed the same- their affection for one another and their parents.
Read MoreWild & Free Family Photos at Oregon Ridge Park
Oregon Ridge Park Nature Center is one of my favorite locations for family photo sessions because it has SO much variety- there's the nature center itself, full of fish, birds, snakes, bugs, giant taxidermied animals, and outside is full of fun adventures.
Read MoreRainy Family Session with Floral Dresses
Hanna reached out to me about taking photos of her new baby girl around the time she turned six months old. They wore matching blue calico dresses and Marlow’s hair only turned curlier in the light mist that fell.
