Hope you all had a nice, safe weekend. I had TWO micro weddings and a family session- I am pooped! Last week Joe and I both finished up work early and decided to take a little drive. I never bring a camera with me on these little trips, but grabbed one and stuffed it in […]

I’m not really sure what the fall is going to look like for photos. I don’t think anyone does. I photograph so many families in October and November and I don’t know if that’s something we’ll be able to do this year. The thought of that breaks my heart. Looking at the trends and where […]

Wheeeeewwww. While I am not ready for cold weather, I am ready for non-90 degree days. We spent a lot of time at home (what’s new?) and I started clearing out Max’s clothes to start adding in the next size… all moms get sad about that, right? It’s so folding up the clothes I loved […]

I have been photographing small (I think it’s cool to call them “micro” now, right?) weddings since before they were trendy/necessary. Several years ago I made a conscious decision to seek out clients with smaller weddings. There were a lot of reasons for this, but mostly it came down to the fact that being gone […]

 I love documenting these twins! It’s the best way to start my summer every June. Every year just gets better and better. I’ve been photographing the Hill Family in Washington, DC since this sweet mama was pregnant with this duo. To follow this family for so many years is so special and such a treat […]

Another session with the Stauffer Family! Courtney wanted a quick session while her mom was in town from Kentucky. We used their beautiful backyard in Jefferson, Maryland as the backdrop for simple and lovely portraits. Lennox was her silly, crazy self, which made the session fun as always. Can’t wait to see them again in […]

This is one of those photos where while I was culling through images, I busted out laughing. Puppies are adorably unpredictable. Also- happy Friday.

I always try to end my in-home lifestyle photo sessions with one photo in front of the house- it’s fun to look back and see how everyone has changed over the years, even your home. I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot more of this type of shot this year…

Wheeeew! I adore the Hill Family and it was so special to take the twins’ photos on their actual 2nd birthday! It is so awesome to have been with the Hill Family since the very beginning- my favorite!

I have been waiting oh-so-long to share this exciting news! Yesterday I signed a lease on the space of my dreams. Mary Kate McKenna Photography is taking the next step in its journey with a beautiful office and studio space at 106 North Market- right next to the Starbucks in Downtown Frederick.  The space is […]
