The Belvedere : Abbey & Matt

I really enjoyed working with Abbey & Matt! They are a super sweet and laid back couple and they needed to be since they scheduled their wedding at the Belvedere the same day as Pride! It was actually pretty awesome since it made me do things a little differently than...

Pier 5 Hotel Wedding : Bunnie & Nolan

Bunnie & Nolan's ceremony was perfectly timed for a ridiculous thunderstorm... literally the officiant made an opening remark as the big fat rain drops started to fall. But as true as with life, after the rain, was the best rainbow EVER. Congrats to Bunnie & Nolan and...

Cattail Creek Country Club : Colleen & Peter

Colleen & Peter's wedding was gorgeous from the start. They were married at Colleen's family church, only 10 min from her parents house where the girls got ready. We arrived early and we had some time after the girls were lined up where Colleen and her dad were...

Swan Harbor Farms Wedding : Jordan & Ryan

Lake George Club Wedding: Jess & Pete

Talk about a whirlwind weekend. I photographed a wedding on Friday then drove up to NY on Saturday to shoot Jess & Pete's wedding on Sunday. It was insane and exhausting but it was all worth it for this amazing couple. Sunday morning was sunny and crisp like a fall...

Fell Point Engagement : Abbey & Matt

I found Abbey & Matt drinking a beer at the bar we were supposed to meet in front of for their engagement session... but no beers were really needed for this couple to loosen up in front of the camera. They were adorable and I had a blast walking around the streets of...

Mansion at Valley Country Club : Abbey & Nick

Maybe it is because Abbey is the doppleganger of my best friend Holly (who also got married at the Mansion at Valley Country Club) right down to their look, mannerisms and plain goofiness but I fell in love with Abbey as soon as we met. It could also be that Abbey &...

Mt Airy Lifestyle Newborn Photographer : Meet McKenzie

Backyard Barn Wedding : Marna & Aaron

Small, intimate weddings might be my favorites. Aaron & Marna got married on Aaron's parents estate in Owings Mills... in a barn and it was the coolest barn EVER. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it. Marna looked stunning in a jeweled pink dress and I loved how they...

Fall Mini-Family Sessions : Towson, MD

A couple times a year I offer mini-sessions. It is a pretty amazing concept. Kids don't last long for photos so if you are just looking for a few amazing shots, mini-sessions are the way to go. 20 min long, we rock through them fast while the kiddos are still in great...

Baltimore Birth Photographer : Aedan

I have had 3 kiddos of my own but watching someone give birth is a completely different experience. I felt like wonder woman pushing my own kids out, but being witness to someone else, wow, just wow. Women are amazing. Theresa is my husband Mark's best friend and I...

Towson Family Photographer : Deremeik Family

This family is one of my favorites all year to photograph. It helps that it is my sister Annie and her family and I have had a camera in their faces their entire lives... they clearly know the drill. We met up one night at Hampton Mansion, my new favorite place to...

We have been fortunate to have some beautiful foliage this fall. As it happened, Jordan and Ryan picked the absolute most perfect day to take their engagement photos! I met up with them at Jerusalem Mill Village, which was basically "their back yard," since these...

Four Seasons Rooftop Proposal : Becca & Brandon

I always get the most nervous for proposals. I am always so afraid I am going to wreck the whole surprise. Brandon's proposal to his girlfriend Becca was pretty perfect though. He got down on one knee on the rooftop at the Four Seasons in Baltimore surprising her when...

Emily and Ryan are the sweetest couple and I was pumped to kick off my 2016 engagement sessions with them- so of course cue the blizzard and a snowy engagement session. They are getting married this coming spring at Emily's parents home so they wanted me to come out...

Joie & Nick : Turf Valley Wedding

Joie & Nick were the perfect couple to close out my 2015 wedding season, although I had just gotten over that miserable stomach bug and was running on vapors, I couldn't have gotten through it if it wasn't for this sweet couple. St Paul's School was the perfect...
