Hello!
Happy 2023!
I am limiting my photography business to several mini sessions a year. I recently started a full time job, and can’t commit to as many sessions as I used to. Stay tuned here and on Facebook for updates.
Thank you so much for your support!
Put on your sweetest smile and join me for spring minis! I have several days this year that I am offering mini sessions:
April 9th – Tulips in Baltimore 5-7pm
April 23rd – Azaleas at Brighton Dam 5-7pm
April 30th – Azaleas at Brighton Dam 5-7pm
May 7th – Azaleas at Brighton Dam 5-7pm
All mini sessions are 20 minutes long, include your choice of 10 edited digital photos from an online gallery for $225.
Book today before the spots are taken!
Another location that I enjoy is Savage Mill. There is a unique bridge, nature trails, and lovely old buildings on the grounds.
The Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge at Savage Mill is an example of a suspension truss bridge. It is one of the oldest standing iron railroad bridges in the US.
The Savage Mill trail starts here as well and follows the Little Patuxent River. There are many scenic overlooks and paths to the water.
It’s a great place for a family stroll!
One of the things that I get asked the most is where is the best place to do photos. There is no perfect answer to this, but I do have my favorite spots.
I am lucky to live in an area with lots of wonderful, beautiful parks and trails.
I am going to highlight The Howard County Conservancy in this post, and will move onto other locations in future posts.
One of my favorite spots at the Conservancy is the barn. It’s weather worn and has so much character! You can take photos inside and outside the barn doors.
Another of my favorite areas are the fields near the barn. All of the trails are full of colorful trees and flowers.
There are also some wonderful spots around main areas of the conservancy as well. They have so many tree providing beautiful filtered light.
The gardens always have something new in bloom, no matter the season, and who doesn’t love a bubbling pond full of frogs!
It’s a great place for photos, or just a walk with the family. They also have goats and an owl!
I am in the thick of fall minis! These are always so much fun. I love seeing families year after year and watching the kids grow.
Happy Fall!
First communion is always a special time for young girls and boys. I had several sessions this year to capture the day.
These twins wore dresses that their mom wore when she was young.
This session between friends was a two parter, we did some at the church and some at The Shrine of St Anthony.
Happy First communion!
I have two new mini sessions available!
The first is a Back to School mini session where kids can get “school” photos taken even if they aren’t in person in school.
I also have two days of Fall Minis scheduled.
Keep an eye on my facebook page for more information and another holiday mini!
It’s that time of year again! My favorite season is nearly here!
The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are starting to change colors, and that means it is almost time for Fall photos!
