I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful graduation evening for @olneyadventistprep 8th graders this week and I have to say- the kids are alright! If these are our future leaders, we’ve got nothing to worry about. Congrats to these kiddos and their families- and all the best as they head into high school in the fall!

Join me on this journey, friends, as I move to a new space Downtown Frederick!

This was such a treat! Meet Sunshine, the coolest 90 year old I’ve ever met, and honestly, just one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. A few weeks ago she celebrated her 90th birthday in style with a sweet soiree at Heritage Hunt Golf and Country Club in Gainesville Virginia. This was the first […]

This is a topic I could go on and on about. Downtown Frederick is home to so many amazing stores- I feel lucky to live in such an incredible place full of independent stores of all kinds. Here’s a list of just a few of my favorites- it’s so hard to choose! Curious Iguana :: […]

Happy Monday, friends. Another weekend passed us by quickly. Something we do every weekend, well, every day, is read. We are a house of readers, and Max is now one, too! Growing up, we’d all hang out as a family… but in our own corners and chairs, curled up with our book of choice. It’s […]

Despite the driving rain, the soldiers took great care of Mr. Hauer and his family. No detail was missed, even though it was raining sideways. Richard was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant […]

My long-time clients know that I have always included an electronic version of images with my photo packages. It’s important to me that my clients have direct access to their photographs. I have used all sorts of devices to save images over the years- CDs, DVDs, and most recently, USBs. It’s taken a while to […]

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Frederick County Department of Social Services Graduation Celebration. I have done this for a few years now, and it’s really special. These students have risen above so many challenges and graduated from high school. Many are headed on to college, and I am so excited for them. […]

A few weeks ago, I jetted over to the west coast to a super cool conference called Create & Cultivate in Los Angeles. It’s a one-day event full of highly-curated workshops, panels, and mentor sessions. It was the perfect place for an event photographer like me to see more real eye candy! In between events, […]

It is always so fun to be a part of a surprise, but this surprise was incredibly special! Hanna & Skip’s daughter reached out to me a few weeks before a surprise party for her parents, who were about to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The party was going to take place on their actual […]
