ELEGANT MILITARY WEDDING IN DOWNTOWN FREDERICK’S HISTORIC UNION MILLS There’s something magical about a fall wedding in downtown Frederick, Maryland, where historic charm meets military tradition. Alex and Gabe’s wedding at Union Mills Public House captured this perfect blend, with naval dress whites contrasting against autumn leaves and centuries-old brick buildings.

A Lifestyle Newborn Session with Twin Sisters in Montgomery County, Maryland There’s a quiet intimacy to returning to a home after the babies arrive—especially when there are two of them. Just a few weeks earlier, I had photographed Zarah and Jay in their backyard, full of anticipation. Now, I was back, camera in hand, documenting […]

A Backyard Maternity Session for Twin Girls in Gaithersburg, Maryland As a Maryland maternity photographer, I’ve found that some of the most tender sessions don’t happen in sweeping landscapes or curated studios—but right at home, where life is already unfolding.
