Karen’s elegant winter maternity session was particularly special to me. I love photographing all of my clients but it is a real treat when I get to capture precious moments of my loved ones. Karen is a longtime friend of mine and our husbands are cousins. Karen chose the historic Causey Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Milford Delaware for her session. If you’re looking for a little stay-cation I would highly suggest it. The grounds are so charming and whimsical. I felt as if I was photographing the Secret Garden. Karen was the picture of poise and grace in these refined, sophisticated gowns ..read more

It was a beautiful balmy day at the ever so charming Lavender Fields for Kristen’s maternity session. This was my first time working with Kristen and her family and they were such a delight to photograph. Kristen was nothing short of a model, she reminded me of a beautiful southern belle! Their daughter Rowan was adorable and not at all camera shy. She was always ready for her close up; like mother like daughter! With another girl on the way it seems Kristen’s husband Bill will have his hands (and heart) full with all these gorgeous women! I was told the baby girl’s nursery will have a greene ..read more

The Love Story A fireman’s heroic rescue of a blind and deaf golden retriever from a frozen pond connected him to a local journalist. Thats how this love story began. Although Robbie’s efforts were admirable that day, it was not until months later that Maddie came into his life for good. Nonetheless, they believe fate and a golden retriever named Buddy is to thank for finding each other. Today I am lucky enough to share a small part of this local power couple’s fairytale. As I had the honor of capturing moments from their Fort Miles wedding in the Cape Henlopen State Park! The Venue – Fo ..read more

Fun fact: Cley proposed to Arielle during their maternity shoot in which I had the honor of photographing last year! So, it was great to come full circle and get the chance to capture their Killens Pond engagement session. And it was an honor to be able to create more special memories of the pair before their big day. We truly lucked out with the weather and the fall foliage at Killens Pond State Park. The session was almost rescheduled due to heavy wind and rain. But the skies cleared and the sun peeked through just long enough for me to capture Arielle and Cley in their element. Arielle and ..read more

Ladies and Gentlemen I am BACK on the BLOG (finally right?) and I am ready to catch everyone up to speed on what has been rolling through my camera over the past year! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crazy, uncharted territory, and using that time to get some things checked off that ‘to-do’ list. Morgan & TC’s Assawoman Bay State Wildlife Area Engagement Session is the first of many blogs to come and every time I look at these photos it takes me back to warmer, sunnier days. For their engagement session, Morgan & TC picked the Assawoman Bay State Wildlife Area b ..read more

I absolutely love when I have past wedding clients come and see me for their maternity sessions! I mean seriously, what an honor to not only capture their first day as husband and wife, but again right before they welcome a new baby into the world. It’s so hard to believe that it has been almost FIVE years since I shot Alison and Jordan’s wedding back in May of 2014! And it made complete sense to go right back to the Causey Mansion Bed & Breakfast for their maternity session, which was where we took some photos of them on their wedding day! When we first discovered this place, we asked the ..read more

It’s always a little extra special when a childhood friend asks you to capture such an important time in their life, such as waiting for the arrival of their first child. Allison and Mike wanted a place that was different from the beach but involved nature, so we headed to the Abbott’s Mill Nature Center in Milford and we had the perfect night for their maternity session. I have known Allison pretty much my entire life. From dance class and school, to sleepovers at her parents house and running for our lives in fear of her next door neighbors car exploding when they revved it up! Haha! Okay, i ..read more

If you would have told me the Monday before Paige & Connor’s wedding that we would be clear of rain and having her ceremony outside as planned, I would not have believed you. But sure enough, as the forecast always does for this area, it changed and their outdoor, Pot-Nets Wedding in Millsboro, DE commenced as planned with our only “struggle” being with wind! I arrived at Paige’s parents house as the girls were getting their hair and makeup done, and I couldn’t help but notice the pictures spread out on the walls and set atop the furniture of Paige, her brother, and her family. There was a ..read more

If you need any proof that spring has FINALLY sprung, then look no further than Paige & Chad’s maternity session at the Causey Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Milford, Delaware. Surrounded by greenery and fresh spring blooms, we circled the property a few times, finding new spots as the sun slowly dipped behind the trees. I met Paige at the local US 13 Drag Strip, owned by Chad’s family actually, where we both used to race every weekend! We actually used to despise each other in the beginning (ohhh the memories – ha!) but we have both grown up and can laugh about all of it now. Walking arou ..read more

My goal for any of my sessions is to make my clients feel beautiful and special, but that’s especially important for my expecting mama’s. Their body has completely changed, hormones are all over the place, feelings of anxiety and exhaustion – I have been there! But I am here to tell you, your body is doing exactly what it needs to do to grow that perfect little human and you are radiating. And that was no different for Toniann during her Cape Henlopen State Park maternity session with me last night. We started their session right near the observation tower and then trickled over to Fort Myers ..read more
