Jayme and Josh’s engagement session at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, Maryland was AH-MAZING! These two were down to try anything I asked and we had a blast documenting their love together. They even brought the cutest little golden doodle, Dunkin, along for the session. Isn’t he a cutie?! Looking forward to their wedding in September - it’s guaranteed to be a beautiful one ..read more

Heather contacted me to do a family session at their cottage on Weems Creek and it couldn’t have been a more perfect location! I love visiting a location that means a lot to a family or individual for pictures - it makes a session even more special to capture a space that you never want to forget <3 Originally, we planned on doing their session on the docks, but when I arrived and saw the foliage on the trees on the single car drive coming in, I knew we had to start there. We were lucky to have cloud coverage and beautiful fall leaves mid-November, but not so lucky that it was extremely col ..read more

If you can plan a wedding during a pandemic, you can do anything! Elise and Mitch spent several months planning their wedding for May 2020, but COVID-19 had other plans. This positive couple rescheduled their wedding at Historic London Town & Gardens for August 2020. They have been together for nearly a decade and wanted to be married so when the August came, they chose to proceed with their wedding, fully understanding if friends and family decided not to attend. The rain was falling all morning while this sweet bride and groom got ready to say “I do.” By the time we arrived at London Tow ..read more

Ryan and Molly were super flexible the day of their family session. We were supposed to meet at another park on a Sunday evening but when I arrived, it was crowded. Like, REALLY crowded. There wasn’t even a parking spot to be found! I suppose families didn’t have much else to do during the pandemic on an August evening when most places were still closed… So I drove to a couple other parks and we settled on Ellen O. Moyer Nature Park at Back Creek, just a short drive from downtown Annapolis right by the Annapolis Maritime Museum. Thank goodness we were able to find a spot because seriously, how ..read more

I love getting to tell others about how I know Matt and Melody because it’s such a fun story! Melody (or Mel) and I started working together in the summer of 2017. The two Mel’s were hired in the same department and we started on the same day. We laughed over the similarities we had: we both went by Mel, we were both dating a Matt, our middle initials are both “J,” and we each had one dog (she had Hendricks who they call Heni, and I had Hemi). We instantly became friends. The trend continued as we both got married to our Matts in the summer of 2018 and we both left our employer within three mo ..read more

I photographed Melissa and Khoa’s wedding last year and was so excited when they asked me to take their maternity photos as they prepare for baby number two! We met at Wildberry Farm + Market in Crownsville, Maryland to incorporate their gorgeous fields of wildflowers and a wooded area. Melissa and Khoa’s two-year-old son is so excited to be a big brother and was quick to kiss the baby bump when asked. So excited to meet their newest little boy after he arrives! Congrats, you guys ..read more

Samuel and Rebecca have the sweetest story! They met in college, fell in love, and are getting married this November! They brought their dog, Weaver, to their engagement session in Downtown Annapolis whom they named after the name of their college dorm where they met. How cute is that?! This sweet couple booked their engagement session on a Friday because they were already getting dressed up for Samuel’s holiday party at the Graduate Hotel in Annapolis. The rain was pouring all morning but we decided to try to get a few pictures anyway. Our session started with Weaver at the Maryland State Hou ..read more

When you get your hair done, yes, you should do a photo session too! I was worried the cloudy sky was going to make us lose light too quickly but Erica and I were able to get outside to Blackwalnut Creek in Annapolis, Maryland a little early to get these beautiful photos. She was a natural with movement and genuine giggles. The fall foliage was the perfect color and the rain let up just in time. I was in love with the photos on the dock but I think the ones in the woods are even more perfect! Playing in the woods next to the water was the perfect place for this year’s portraits. They tell so m ..read more
