The S Family

Many of the locations I photograph don’t have too many passers-by, but Centennial Park is quite popular for walkers, runners, and bikers. And let me tell you, at this particular session, people would just stop and stare at this beautiful family while I photographed them. I don’t blame them at all! They looked absolutely stunning. […]

Emma Is One Year Old!

Emma’s first birthday was on Saturday.  It’s hard to believe that it has already been one year since Christine and Mike had her newborn session in the studio.  Emma is sweet and liked to smile when I played “peek-a-boo.”  It was my first session since mid-March, when businesses closed in Maryland.  Distancing takes some getting […]

So, it was a special time […]

Sunflower Mini Sessions

Nature. My peaceful serenity.  Beautiful summer sky and rows of giant sunflowers gazing over the countryside.  This is how I would describe The Sunflower Garden in Westminster, Maryland.  What I love about this magical place is how I’m transformed and feel closer to the heavens when I’m here.  When I first visited last summer, it […]
