Andrew | Hagerstown, MD | One year session

Andrew's first year flew by. It seems like just yesterday I was photographing him at his newborn session. He was such a calm newborn, in fact, he slept almost the entire session. It's so amazing that you can predict a child's temperament as soon as they are born. Fast forward one year and this little guy is still super laid back. 

Andrew gave me the sweetest smiles throughout the session. He totally reminds me of the Gerber baby! Those round cheeks, wispy curls, and porcelain skin, I just can't. He was a joy to photograph, and I can't wait to watch him grow. I've got the best job ever!

Ryleigh | Hagerstown, MD | One year session

This little bundle of energy was a pleasure to photograph. Ryleigh is now one year old, and I was so excited to meet her for the first time. Just take a look at her sweet smile!

One year sessions are so much fun to photograph. Life is very exciting, emotions are absolutely pure, textures and toys are such a delight. This is what I love to capture in each and every one year session. 

I cannot wait to watch this little one grow! Our next session will be filled with running, jumping, and exploring as toddlers do. Little Miss Ryleigh leaves a little sparkle everywhere she goes!

Riley | Hagerstown, MD | Newborn Session →

The Sturtz Family was so excited to welcome Riley into their lives. Those tiny toes and chubby cheeks are ohh so cute to photograph!  

As a mother of three boys, I get so excited to hold a newborn baby. My husband laughs each time I receive an order from Easy with a new headband, diaper cover, or blanket. I can't resist purchasing a new item for each Newborn I photograph. 

Once Riley had a good feed, she slept through the entire session. I have a feeling she will be a very laid back baby. It's amazing how you can predict a personality even as a Newborn. I look forward to watching her grow over the years! 

Kearan & Rhylan | Hagerstown, MD | Children's Photography

Kearan & Rhylan have been a joy to photograph every year since they were newborns. These two little guys are full of energy, love, and excitement. 

As a twin, I absolutely love to see the bond these two share. They will be forever friends, connected even if they are far apart. 

Happy 4th Birthday Kearan & Rhylan. It is such a joy to watch you grow!

Benjamin | Hagerstown, MD | Newborn session

The Horst family was so excited to meet the newest member, Benjamin. Big sister Lilly waited 9 months to meet her little brother. As soon as I arrived, she told me how much she loves his little toes and soft baby skin. 

Mom silently wept tears of joy as she enjoyed a couple moments with her precious baby. These are the moments I live for. The love just pours out from time to time. I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to capture such pure love.

Ryan & Nadine marry at Stone Manor Country Club, Middletown, MD.

Ryan & Nadine chose to marry at the Stone Manor Country Club in Middletown, MD. The mild temperatures and beautiful fall foliage made their day perfect. Ryan looked dashing in his black suit while Nadine's blush dress looked exquisite. 

As the sun began to set, Ryan & Nadine said their vows in front of their closest friends and family, ending with the perfect kiss. 

Surreybrooke Nursery Portrait sessions

This year I invested in the most beautiful location to photograph my family portraits. Surreybrooke is located in Middletown, MD, between Hagerstown, and Frederick. It truly is a magnificent garden that blooms from March to November. 

These twin girls had the best time running the property, and exploring every nook and cranny. This lovely family portrait was captured by Surreybrooke's only pond resting next to a huge weeping willow tree. 

Penelope loved the pink flowers, as well as toddling along the beautiful pathways. Mom and Dad were always close by loving the sheer joy on their daughters face. Photographing children is one of my very favorite things, and these photos truly express that. 

Occasionally I hand over the camera to run in for the tickle bomb. This little guy couldn't get enough! I live for these moments. Tina captured this wonderful image at the perfect time. As the sun began to set we played in the grass together talking about what a great time we had together. 

Sean's Senior Session

The Jonathan Hager House in Hagerstown, MD is a wonderful place for senior portraits. Sean has been a wrestler his entire high school career, so of course we had to include his ring and jacket in a couple shots. He was a pleasure to work with.  

Spitzer Family

These photographs were taken in a quiet little farm town in West Virginia. I left the house early with coffee in hand and arrived at the most beautiful family farm. This family portrait session is one that I will never forget. While its not always easy to shoot an early morning session, they are always worth it. 

Kyle & Ashley tie the knot

Kyle & Ashley were married at the lovely Rockland Estate. If you are looking for a Wedding venue with amazing landscapes, a gorgeous historic home to get ready in, and the best service, look no further. Rockland Estate is the place to be. 

Natalie's senior session

Natalie, her mother Dena, and I, set off on a hike through historic Harpers Ferry for this senior session. Senior portraits are always exciting because you get to choose the location, and I will capture images that show the things you cherish. As a photographer, I love to experience new locations and am always open to new ideas. We climbed a stone wall that was at least 12 feet over the water. Both Natalie and I were terrified, but we got the shot. At the end, we stopped for ice cream and laughed about how scarred we were. YOLO!
