Ashley and Daniel thought they knew what to expect when they scheduled a caesarian section for their second baby, but baby girl had other plans! Ashley, unexpectedly, went into labor just days before her c-section date and they welcomed baby Clare into the world on September 5th, 2023.

Hannah is turning one! When mama, Lauren, chose me to document Hannah’s Winne the Pooh themed cake smash, I could not wait to bring her vision of Hannah’s Hundred Acre Woods to life. Winnie the Pooh is a classic that I grew up with and have taken the time to introduce to my boys as they grow. Lauren and Adam have accumulated a collection of the original plush characters and everyone was in tow for a beautiful evening at Downs Park in Pasadena, Maryland . . .

Hillary and Matt are excitedly awaiting their first baby and they were eager to document this milestone in their lives. They were searching for classic, traditional maternity photos and they wanted a studio session, so we secured The Lightbox Studio in Annapolis, Maryland.

Meredith and Fabrice have been inviting me into their home in Washington, D.C. to capture their family photos for years, and it’s been an honor to watch as their family has grown and changed over those years. From the days of their first maternity session with their 3 rescue pups to their life as parents of two, every photo session has been about capturing life as it really is, in an environment that is comfortable for the whole family.

When your family only gets together twice a year, you must take the time to document it! I was overjoyed when Stephanie called me to book an extended family session while her parents and brother’s family would be in town. Being December, we did a lot of watching the forecast and discussing locations and I think all were happy that we settled on Downs Park in Pasadena, Maryland as the perfect backdrop for their family photos.

When Manuel and Yani reached out to me to document their family, as their littlest one, Leonardo, turned one, we planned for a family photo session at a park in Annapolis, Maryland. As the date of their family photo session approached, the weather took a sudden turn for extremely chilly! I am extremely grateful to have options like The Annapolis Studio nearby so that we could take our outdoor session indoors!

When your due date comes and goes without baby making his debut, you can feel so ready and yet so unprepared at the same time. That’s how Heather felt when I checked in with her a few days after baby James was due. But a day later, on November 3rd, James Alan arrived, and we captured some sweet newborn photos at their home in Pasadena, Maryland when James was just a week old . . .

Maria, Mike, Michael and William have been coming to see me at the Christmas tree farm for the last few years, and it’s been so fun watching the boys grow. This year, they decided to try something different and they met me, with their sweet labradoodle, Teddy, for their family photo session on a windy but warm evening in early November, at a park in Annapolis, Maryland.

Skye Harper arrived just in time, on October 25 at 7:28am, just over 8 lbs of pure perfection. Just like big sister, Isla, Skye is named for one of Scotland’s magical islands. I could not wait to document those tiny fingers and toes at her newborn photo session in their home in Pasadena, Maryland, and I arrived at their house when she was just a week old to capture all those little details and all of the love that surrounds both of Jen and Will’s girls. There was extra love in the house that day, as Aunt Caroline soaked up some sweet baby snuggles and big sister’s giggles . . .

You’re here and so loved, Sweet Sister Skye | Pasadena, Maryland

Andrea, Elliott, Mac & Lulu first came to see me at the Christmas tree farm last year, where we played amongst the trees. This year, they decided they would like for me to come to them for a relaxed and fun backyard session, that included grandparents, Mac & Lulu’s Nonna & Shaw . . .
