Carley and Kenny were married at the Pavilion at Weatherly, one of my favorite southern Maryland wedding venues! The Weatherly staff have invested so much care into renovating the property over the years, and every time I’m here it’s better and better. Carley and Kenny planned the most romantic and elegant day along the waterfront. […]

A few weeks ago we hosted our most anticipated event of the year: The Motherhood Series. This limited edition series honors the connection that mothers have with their children through fine art, painterly studio portraits. I’m so thankful to my creative team that helped this event come to life, including Sara at Willow Canvas for […]
Jessica’s mom and I have known each other for years through work, and so I was thrilled when they contacted me about wedding and engagement portraits! Jess and her fiancé, Dayne, met at their alma mater, St. Mary’s College of Maryland. They both work at SMCM now and anyone from southern Maryland knows how gorgeous the campus is, so it was a no-brainer that we’d meet there for their engagement session!
They say that if you don’t like the weather in Maryland just wait ten minutes, and that’s exactly how Kelsey and Travis’s engagement session went. We met at the historic London Town & Garden on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Then it began to rain, but the sun was still shining. Then, the skies opened and […]
This family is SO ridiculously sweet! Dennisse and I totally hit it off during her consultation, chatting away like old friends for the better part of an hour late one evening several weeks before the session. A few days later I receive an email from Dennisse – she’d broken her foot (ouch!) but still wanted […]
Have you ever met someone and immediately felt like old friends? Sometimes within just the space of an hour, you can go from formal introductory handshakes to big hugs goodbye, with smiles and stories fueling the soul for days to come afterward. That’s exactly what happened the day I met Lindsay and Michael (aka Zook) […]
Ahh, that sweet newborn phase. You can feel it the moment you walk through the front door: a beautiful, pristine nursery, a careful silence in the air, and utterly exhausted and yet over-the-moon joyful parents. That’s exactly what I found when I visited Katie and Kyle. I had the pleasure of photographing their maternity portraits […]
