I'm a Jesus follower, mac 'n cheese lover, and travel enthusiast. I specialize in wedding, high school senior, and lifestyle photography in the Frederick, MD area but am always down to travel. I'm a mama to two, married to my high school sweetheart, and am passionate about authentically telling love stories through photography and eating as much dark chocolate as I can. Stick around awhile to view the latest love stories I've had the privilege of capturing.
I can’t believe it’s already been almost 8 months since I photographed Ally’s Carroll Creek Downtown Frederick senior pictures! A lot has happened since then, and as a result Ally finally had time to pick out her favorites now that the craziness of online school is over. I love the images she chose and wanted […]
Three months ago, Kayla reached out to me and indicated her desire to have maternity pictures taken in Northern VA. Due to the quarantine, she hadn’t been able to share the majority of her pregnancy with her family who live in the south, and she wanted a maternity shoot to commemorate this special time of […]
I’m kicking myself for not blogging these beautiful DC engagement photos sooner! In the chaos of fall wedding season, I occasionally get behind in blogging and just realized today that I never shared Travis and Lauren’s stunning Lincoln Memorial engagement shoot with you. The plan had been to meet at the Jefferson Memorial and spend […]
A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting beautiful little Bellamy Ryan Gaines who was just 8 days young! As a photographer, it brings me no greater joy than to photograph the most important moments in someone’s life, and I have loved getting the opportunity to photograph first William as a newborn, then […]
I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and sane! These past few days have been crazy and I’m so sad I will have to pause doing photo shoots until non-essential businesses are allowed to resume – especially with all the gorgeous spring blooms we’re experiencing right now! Still, I’m thankful that right now we’re healthy, […]
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of maternity and engagement shoots, so when my good friend Brittany asked me to do a newborn shoot I jumped at the chance! Sweet baby Andie had just turned one month old and her cuteness was overwhelming. Like all my lifestyle newborn shoots, I met Brittany and Justin at […]
Have I mentioned just how much I adore maternity shoots? They’re quickly becoming my absolute favorite type of photography, especially as my mamas try out more and more of my new gowns from my client closet. I also love when I get to document repeat clients and be a part of memorializing all their precious […]
Ray and Cristina’s Ceresville Mansion wedding wedding was literally out of a Christmas fairy tale. With the roaring fireplace, glittering snowflakes, Mr. & Mrs. stockings, Christmas music, and adorable centerpieces featuring buffalo plaid, burlap, reindeer, nutcrackers, and cookie jars, they truly captured the Christmas spirit. When I first walked into their Ceresville Mansion reception I […]
I couldn’t have picked a better wedding to end the 2019 season. It was such a special blessing getting to photograph Rachael & Jeff’s Rockwood Manor wedding. Rachael and her brother Zach lived down the street from me growing up, and I always viewed them as honorary little siblings. (As if I didn’t have enough!) […]
