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 […]

The hushed excitement pulsing through the recovery room. Three (yes, THREE!) big sisters, eagerly waiting to meet the newest baby girl. The sweet swell of mama’s freshly postpartum belly, cradling a newborn that’s been earthside for just a few hours. Fresh 48 sessions are magical. Documentary and unposed, taking place in the hospital within 48 […]

Have you ever met someone whose story instantly inspires you? That’s how I felt when I first met Candi. She’s a Tennessean, an F-18 pilot for the US Navy, best friends with her mama, former pageant girl, and just an all-around awesome person. If there was ever a contest for the person with the most […]

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 […]

When Katie first contacted me and said that her twin boys would turn one in April, I was excited for a challenge. And a three year old? Bring it on.  It has been such a joy getting to know this family over the past few months, culminating in a portrait session to remember. The plan […]

Have you ever met someone and felt like God put them in your path at just the moment you needed to meet them? That’s exactly how I feel about my new friend Katera, and I’m thrilled to introduce her to my AWP tribe today! Katera contacted me through my website a few weeks ago, introducing […]

This session was so special. Shandi and I worked together a few years ago and when I found out she was expecting her second baby, I knew I just had to photograph her! Shandi and her husband, Ian, have gone through so much for their babies, and their love and gratitude for their children just […]

A racing tire has got to be the most unusual thing yet that has rolled into my studio. Beth texted me the night before Lilly’s newborn session and warned me that she was bringing a racing tire as a surprise prop for Lilly’s dad, but I was still unprepared for how huge this thing would […]

How often are we moms stuck behind the camera, or even worse, at the mercy of our (well-intentioned!) husbands fumbling with an iPhone, hoping to get one semi-decent shot? Moms, I know that what you truly want are beautiful, intentional photographs of you *with* your children. That’s why I’ve designed my newest collection with you […]
