The Experience
Your experience matters just as much as your photos.
Maryland Photographer
Let’s get one thing straight. I take the planning seriously. I do not take myself seriously. Two very different things, and you get both.
Behind the scenes, your session is planned down to the last detail so nothing is left to chance. In front of the camera, it’s a different story. We’re laughing, being a little ridiculous, and somewhere in between you forget the camera’s even there. That’s where the real photos happen. Not the cookie cutter kind everyone’s seen a million times. The kind that actually looks like you, whether you’re growing a bump, chasing a toddler, or building the business you always dreamed of.
I want every woman who walks into my studio to feel confident, comfortable, and taken care of, from the second you book to the moment you see your gallery.
Preparing for a session can feel like a lot. Let me handle the details so you can just show up.

1. Discovery Call
We hop on a call and just talk. I want to hear your vision, your story, all of it. This is me getting to know you before I ever pick up a camera.
2. Booking
Once we both know it’s a match, I’ll send over your contract and get your session fee squared away. Boom, your date is locked in and officially yours.
3. Zoom Planning Call
Fifteen quick minutes, face to face, all the fun stuff. We nail down your themes, colors, wardrobe... everything that makes your session feel like YOU.
4. The Session
Two hours in my studio, just us. It’s clean, it’s stocked, it’s ready for you to walk in and feel like a total star. This is where the magic actually happens.
5. Zoom Ordering Call
We get back on Zoom and go through every single photo together. I’ll help you figure out what to choose and how you’ll want to use them, prints, digitals, all of it.
6. Photo Delivery
Digitals land in your inbox within two weeks. Prints and products show up within four. Either way, you’re about to have something you’ll treasure forever.
The Closet Made For Her
Let’s be real, figuring out what to wear is the most stressful part of any session, so I took that whole problem off your plate. My client closet has over 200 options, so you’re walking in with zero outfit anxiety and walking out with something you actually love. And for my mamas to be, I’ve got bodysuits and wraps in every color and fabric you could want, because your bump deserves options too.
EVERY SESSION INCLUDES:
Access to my client closet, accessories, backdrops, props, and basically anything you need to feel fabulous in front of my camera. Digital photos so you can relive the magic forever. The option to purchase printed artwork because some moments deserve to be on your wall, not just your phone. Hair and makeup upgrades and professional video footage upgrades if you want to go all out, and trust me, you kind of do.
Booking your session takes a $150 session fee to lock in your date. Just know that fee gets you the booking, not the photos, those come with your package.
Packages start at $800.
You Can Never Book Too Early
I photograph the women building all of it, the bumps, the babies, and the brands. Whatever season you’re in, whenever it hits you that you want this documented, that’s the right time to reach out. I’m already dreaming up the details with you.
Already thinking about what’s next, maternity now and newborn later, or a family session down the road? Let’s talk about it, I love planning ahead just as much as I love the actual shoot.
Right In Your Backyard
Tucked into Pasadena, Maryland, my private studio is just minutes from Baltimore, Annapolis, and DC. It’s fully stocked and ready for your bumps, babies, or brand session, so all you have to do is show up.
I'll meet you at the door, double-bagged green tea with honey in hand.
