a note from
I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be.
With me, your family photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time.
I know how busy you are, and how much your family means to you. Let's preserve this moment so that you can return to it for a lifetime.

WHEN AND WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
frequently asked questions →
I am based in southern Maryland, but my included travel radius extends to Annapolis and Washington DC. The majority of my clients choose to hold their sessions at their homes or at exclusive venues throughout the area. I am thoroughly knowledgable of all the best local portrait locations and will help you choose the perfect place for your family. Most family sessions take place on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons, with newborn sessions taking place in the late morning.

WILL YOU POSE OR DIRECT US during our session?
My approach is a skilled mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on genuine human connections. My high emotional intelligence allows me to sense when my subjects are carrying tension or feeling anxious, which I use to gently guide them in a way that feels authentic to the individual. You can expect thoughtful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself.
CLOSE
OUR BABY ISN'T BORN YET! CAN WE STILL BOOK?
Absolutely! In fact, the best time to book your newborn session is well in advance of your due date to ensure availability on the studio calendar. I'll use your due date as a placeholder, and once baby is born, we'll schedule a firm date and time for your session.
CLOSE
HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
You'll receive your images within 10 days of your session, but often much sooner. Your edited, high resolution images will be delivered via a secure online gallery. From there, you can download your images, share with loved ones, and order professional prints. If you've chosen a collection that includes artwork, we'll begin that process right after gallery delivery!
CLOSE
WHAT ARE OUR PAYMENT OPTIONS?
All payments are processed through a secure online portal for your safety and convenience. Payment plans are available upon request as well.
