in-home family session | baltimore family photographer
Cozy, in-home Baltimore family photos are some of my favorite things. I spent a winter afternoon with Raquel, Katie, Luis and their son, Lukas, in their home having a snack, playing with cars and generally doing those sort of lazy Sunday afternoon things that rarely get recorded.
When I asked Raquel what these photos meant to her she said,
These photos represent the essence of who we are in our sacred space – our home. They reflect the love, care and joy we have for and toward one another. We are a wholesome family where love simply abounds, and I know these photos genuinely depicted that.
We are a polyamorous family choosing to live out and proud about who we are. I think many individuals have misconceptions and preconceived notions about polyamory, and so we are trying to raise awareness all while showing the world what an unconventional, wholesome and loving family looks like. Our hope is to inspire and encourage people to live shamelessly and authentically.
intimate newborn photography | baltimore md
The raw and vulnerable moments in the early days with a new baby aren’t always moments you cherish – often they are desperately tired, 3am, won’t latch, won’t sleep, postpartum sweat and pain and achy muscles and itchy stitches. I’m so honored when I’m asked to capture some of it in the studio, in the daylight. The moments that feel so intense are matched by their beauty when you see them on the outside – and the more time the passes, the more precious those moments become.
To me, this image is exactly what breastfeeding a newborn feels like. A clumsy, heavy head trying to latch, sticky skin-to skin, tiny feet kicking a soft belly and swollen, leaking breasts. When you know the feeling, you recognize it instantly.

Dr. Sharon Dongarra of Thrive Chiropractic is a healer with her hands and heart. Her supportive care is not only based in research and skill, but intuition and empathy. From my first appointment, it was clear that Dr. D doesn’t just treat anyone’s joints – she treats a whole person and watching her treat others, it’s clear she was meant to be doing this work.
Winter Mini Session| Pasadena, MD
I love shooting these short and sweet outdoor family portraits in Pasadena, MD. After the excitement of Christmas and New Years, the freezing winter months seem to drag on but this family brought a little warmth and sunshine despite the dreary winter weather. Some of my favorite sessions include fur-babies, and this old man really stole the spotlight.
One! |Baltimore, MD Milestone Photographer
Baby’s first birthday portraits capture such an important milestone. It’s been an incredible joy to watch M grow over the last year and it was extra special to shoot her 1t birthday photos at the same location as her parent’s maternity session. I love how her mama styled this session in comfy, warm layers and textures with a mix of neutrals and earth tones.
Annapolis Birth Photographer 2019 | Annapolis, MD Photographer
I had a very special start to the new year! My first session of 2019 was the beautiful birth of a special baby boy at AAMC on 1/1/19. His mama labored with the help of a fantastic doula and the look on her midwife’s face just as baby emerged says everything about the loving, respectful care they offered.
Here’s what she said when she saw the photos:
“Well, I’m a sobbing mess! Those photos are so incredibly beautiful! I had no idea I’d feel so much looking back at my birth. Thank you so, so, so much for being there and capturing it for me. Those pictures are PRICELESS.”
