As a mom, you adore every giggle, each tiny step, and every snug cuddle with your precious little one. Your heart is filled with love, but time seems to fly by too fast. You want to hold onto these special moments, but it's tough to find the right time, energy, and expertise.

That's where I come in. With over a decade of experience capturing family moments through photography in Baltimore, MD, I've worked closely with many families like yours. Drawing from my background as a retired preschool teacher of twenty years, I've learned how to connect with parents and even the most lively toddlers, ensuring our sessions are not only fun but also stress-free. And as a mom of six myself, I intimately understand the magic of those early moments with babies. So, when you choose me as your photographer in Baltimore, MD, you're not just hiring someone behind the camera – you're gaining a friend who truly gets it.

I believe in forming genuine connections and fostering lasting bonds with my families. As a photographer in Baltimore, MD, I'm dedicated to helping you capture those everyday moments with your little ones. Let's collaborate to create memories that you'll cherish forever.

"I want to cherish the laughter, milestones, and unique moments that define our growing family. Capturing the changing dynamics and deepening love is crucial for me as a mother. From the early days to the present, creating a visual timeline through photographs allows me to reflect on the joy and resilience that make our family special."

Portraits Through the Years:

"I want to remember all the "firsts" in my baby's first year—the first smile, first steps, and those precious developmental milestones. Beyond that, I also want to capture the everyday joys—the cuddles, the bonding moments, and the unique personality that emerges. The rapid growth during the first year is incredible, and I want to freeze these memories in photographs to cherish those special moments.

"I want to remember the unique details of my baby, like tiny toes and adorable fingers. The warmth of cuddles and peaceful sleeps are cherished moments. Our home was filled with overwhelming love and magic when the baby arrived. I aim to capture these precious early days in photographs, reflecting the joy and tenderness we want to hold onto forever."
