Baby girl Graham is here! I was thrilled that M & R asked me to come out to their cute as a button home in Alexandria, Virginia and photograph their newborn baby girl. She was wide awake when I got there- which I loved! I think photographing a newborn with those beautiful new eyes is […]

I can’t share any photos from this event but I had a wonderful time celebrating and photographing #NationalAdoptionDay with a special performance of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince with 100 foster and adoptive families and social workers with Frederick County Department of Social Services. Thank you for having me, DSS- what a special event! I love photographing […]

Another perfect fall deal led to some lovely fall family photos! Meet the Fredericks Family- they are so cute! Little Henry is such a doll. When I first met him he was sound asleep. When his mom picked him up to start our photo session, I thought for sure this sweet little man would be […]

Today I spent some time in Bethesda, Maryland with the Desanto Family. I have been doing their fall family photography session for quite a few years now  (here, here, and here!) and it is so much fun to watch these two boys grow up. We started the session behind their house in a beautiful wooded […]

I love this family! Ryan and Heather Zimmerman had me stop by to do a fall family photo session at their home in Great Falls, Virginia and man oh man did we luck out and get amazing weather today. These little girls are growing up fast- even since Hayden’s newborn photo session this Spring! I also got […]

Yesterday I had a blast learning about bogging for my business with The Garter Girl. Juli is an amazing resource and I really enjoyed learning from her during a really fun all day workshop. I’ve known Juli since 2010 when I photographed some of her first work for her first catalog. So much fun! While I […]

Powersheets just went on sale 11 minutes ago and if you’re ready to crush some goals this year (personal or business) I highly recommend this tool! (My hubby gets super tired of hearing me talk about them, because I am OBSESSED.) I have been using them for the past few years and I am a HUGE […]

I don’t even know where to begin with these two! Elise and Randy had the sweetest backyard wedding. Five guests, two pups and a bride and groom. So perfect. E and L bought a house in Downtown Frederick in August and it was the backdrop for their vows. One of my very favorite parts of […]

Marj + Phil are married and it was the best! These two are so in love and it was so much fun to document their day. They live in Frederick (yay, Frederick!) and every part of their day reflected their love for this city. The weather was beyond perfection and we got to snap some […]

Someone had a very special 80th birthday! The birthday girl had a lovely party at Vintage Restaurant in New Market, but before the festivities  began we did a family photo session nearby with her kids and grandkids. We had great weather and even the little ones cooperated! I thought it was a great idea idea […]
