Families

I’ve known Nora for over a decade- her mom, Martha was my first boss! Like first boss ever. Nora’s family owns Howard County favorite, Clark’s Elioak Farm. I worked for 5 years at the petting farm from high school through college. It was some of the happiest years of my life- outdoors every weekend, working […]

I love newborn sessions because they almost always take place in the client’s home. It’s a personal look at an intimate moment- when a new baby has been brought home and the family has expanded. Sam and Shawn live in Monrovia Maryland, 15 minutes outside Frederick. I’ve been so lucky to join Sam now for […]

Two weeks after their wedding (see the post here), Kim and Tam, along with their immediate family rejoined me for a family photoshoot. Each year they send out holiday cards and pose with their adorable niece and nephew – always joking how they are second parents. The whole family joined so we could do lots […]

A few days before Christmas I got to spend with the Harab family and welcome their second son, Jude to the family. The session began with his older brother showing me his dinosaur themed bedroom.

Alex and Azad have become such special people in our lives. Alex and I work together as graphic designers. We both got hired within a few months of each other, we wound up planning weddings within a span of a few months of each other. Ryan and I followed their house hunt journey closely- they […]

Emily contacted me a simple request “We need family photos of us and Charlotte.” Charlotte is their new dog and I fully support and appreciate that when you introduce a new family member, you need to update your family photos! The extra fun treat was that Rob gifted the session to her for her birthday. […]

Jenny officially has a masters degree in Education! This was a fun session for me. Jenny and I attended Notre Dame of Maryland University together, she was a year or two behind me. Jenny has always been the sweetest soul and oh so smart. I loved having her in my classes because she brought such […]
