Loves

What am I loving right now? 1. Wawa Mocha Mint Iced Coffee. It tastes like a Thin Mint cookie! (Which we all know is the BEST kind of Girl Scout cookie) Sorry, Starbucks... your iced peppermint mocha tastes more like a peppermint patty. While very delicious, it's just not quite AS good. Also it costs like 4x more than Wawa's. 2. My basement. It's the playroom and my office. It's not quite finished, as we still need to add a TV and move my husband's video game consoles down here and get some wall decor up on these barren walls, but I … [Read more...]

Family Friday

Last March, I had the honor and privilege of taking my family up to NYC to see the extremely talented Zoe Berkovic for our family portraits. She is not just an amazing photographer, but she's a beautiful woman, one of the most loving and dedicated mothers I've ever met, and a true friend. I want to share some of the memories she helped us create. There are SO many more that I love, but I don't want to overwhelm you with my family! Check out her blog posts here to see more of my family (and bigger pictures, as I … [Read more...]

What to Wear? July Edition

This month we are featuring a summer palette of blue, yellow, and tan. Whether we are doing a lifestyle session grilling in your Harford County backyard (complete with S'mores of course!) or a session at your favorite park in Baltimore, this look will express everyone's individuality and still bring a cohesive look to your portraits (and still be cool enough to not melt in this lovely Maryland summer we're experiencing!). … [Read more...]

Baltimore Engagement Photographer | A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

I love to photograph couples. Young love is so exciting-- you have your whole future ahead of you and your possibilities are endless. Getting engaged/married is one of the first major milestones of adult life, second only (in my opinion) to the birth of your children. I was glad to work with this couple before this major heatwave settled in over our heads. The weather was nice (for Baltimore standards, at least), the light was pretty, and love was in the air. We ventured over to a park in Towson to celebrate their engagement! If … [Read more...]

What to Wear? June Edition!

Looking for inspiration for your next portrait session? Whether we are in the fields of Harford County or downtown Baltimore for an urban feel, this is a good look to inspire you. Neutrals with a pop of color bring interest to your clothes without distracting from your faces. (after all, you don't want all of your attention just on your clothes!) Think beyond matching white button ups and khaki pants to really express your personality in your portraits. (after all, you don't want your great grandchildren to view your images and think you … [Read more...]

Harford County Family Photographer | fields of laughter, fields of love

This amazing Bel Air, MD family was one of my New Year contest winners, and they joined me at my Mother's Day event in Harford County recently! (the rain date, as the original mother's day event was experiencing those fun monsoon-type rainstorms) They were real pros, laughing and playing as if I wasn't there during their portrait session.. The elder daughter is so perfectly photogenic that I wanted to photograph her all day. Not only was she perfect at taking direction, but she had the most beautiful eyes. The younger daughter was the … [Read more...]

Harford County Newborn Photographer | fresh and new

I thought it would be appropriate to start this fresh, new blog with a fresh, new life. I recently visited this beautiful little newborn girl in Riverside/Belcamp MD in peaceful Harford County, MD for her very first portrait session. She was such a little sweetheart at 9 days old! This family waited a long time for their sweet little baby, and their love for each other was just tangible. Her nursery was painted with such attention to detail in a cherry blossom theme (the inspiration for Mom's cherry blossom maternity session last … [Read more...]
