About Me

BALTIMORE & ANNAPOLIS, MD PHOTOGRAPHER

I Show Up With A Clipboard And I’m Not Sorry About It.

When I was 14, my older sister told me she regretted not photographing more of her life. That comment never left me. I’ve had a camera in my hand ever since.

Fast forward to my own maternity session, where I showed up with an actual clipboard and pages of notes on poses, hand placement, who looks at who. My cousin, an actual photographer, looked at me and said “you know nobody else does this, right?” That’s when I realized this obsessive planning thing wasn’t just a quirk. It was the whole business.

My husband believed in it enough to buy me my first camera, and that was that. Over a decade and a thousand sessions later, I’m still learning something new every time I pick it up.

Since Then, My Business Has Grown Right Alongside My Girls, Including One Who’s Now A Teenager Watching Every Move I Make

I’m pretty happily disorganized in everyday life. But hand me a client session and something switches on. I plan every pose, every detail, every shot, because I want my daughters to see what it looks like to build something real around what you love.

When you hire me, you’re not getting a laid back, catch whatever happens photographer. You’re getting someone who’s already mapped it all out, so all you have to do is show up.

As a bonus, my style is bold, polished, and unapologetically planned, the kind of photos you’ll still be staring at years from now.

A Few Quirky Things About Me

My dogs sleep in my bed. I know, I know, but I love waking up to their mushy little faces too much to care what anyone thinks about it.
My friends recently nicknamed me “feral toddler” because apparently when we’re all together I get a little too silly, a little too loud, and am generally considered a flight risk. It stuck so hard that now I just text the group chat “feral toddler is coming out tonight” before we hang out, fair warning included.
I’m also a walking contradiction when it comes to my daughters. I stress about microplastics and hide chopped spinach in their smoothies like it’s a covert mission, but I also let my teenager go on night walks with friends and handed my preteen our entire formal dining room to turn into her nail salon and craft room. Pick your battles, right?
