I’m a family photographer based in Germantown, MD, and a mom of two. I specialize in capturing the beautiful chaos and deep connection that makes your family uniquely you.
My sessions are all about embracing the unexpected — the giggles, the mess, the quiet moments — with a go-with-the-flow approach that lets your real story shine.
Take a look around, explore my previous work, and don’t miss the client testimonials to hear about others' experiences. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you!
Short, sweet, and full of seasonal charm! These seasonal 20-minute sessions are perfect for updating family photos, holiday cards, or capturing a quick snapshot of this season in your life.
The location is hand-picked by me for its beautiful fall colors and easy access. These sessions are only offered in the fall and spots are limited, so be sure to book early!
This extended family session is perfect for capturing genuine family moments in a relaxed, natural setting. You choose the location—whether it’s a favorite park, your own backyard, or somewhere meaningful to your family. Not sure where to go? I’m happy to suggest beautiful spots that suit your style and vibe.
We’ll take our time easing into the session so everyone feels comfortable and can be themselves—no pressure, no rush. My goal is to create space for connection, play, and those in-between moments that truly tell your family’s story.
This is storytelling at its most real. The Day in the Life session is a full-day, documentary-style experience that captures your family’s everyday rhythm — the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between. No need to coordinate outfits or brush anyone’s hair — just be yourselves.
From morning routines and snack breaks to backyard play and bedtime stories, I’ll be there to preserve the little details that make up your world right now. It’s a meaningful, honest way to document this chapter of your life — just as it is.
