I finally received an updated set of business cards with my new name on them! I think they look sick!

Here are a few new senior photos at the University of Maryland from last weekend! I’m glad they turned out wonderfully. 😊

If you’re still looking for new photos for your graduating seniors, please feel free to send me a message to schedule a session.

Hi everyone! I finally created a new website after some of my friends suggested that I make one. What do you guys think?

I still need help with a little bit of everything. In about 2 and a half months, I’ll be done watching the kid, and I’d like to focus even more on photography while also doing art projects on the side. At the same time, I’m scared that I’ll continue struggling to find new clients, and I honestly don’t know how to advertise myself effectively.

Sometimes I don’t feel as supported as other photographers because of who I am. I feel this way because I only had a few paid clients this season, and not many people contacted me about photographing their events or their kids’ sporting games for free either. I worry that this trend might continue into the summer and the upcoming school year, and I really don’t want that. I want to become more active instead.

I might need to look for a part-time job after work or maybe find another babysitting gig. I’m not sure. It’s hard trying to manage everything on my own, especially with how expensive food and gas have become lately. Clearly, I also haven’t written a food post in quite a while.

One of my friends suggested partnering with a pro photographer or apprenticing under someone, but I honestly don’t know who to reach out to, and I’m not very good at connecting with new people.

How can I improve? How do I connect with more people while still staying true to myself? I don’t want to become someone who acts overly enthusiastic just for views or attention. I want to stay authentic.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on my new schedule through October, and I’m already filling it in with events.

So far, I’m planning to attend Senior Sunset, the Memorial Day Parade, Pints for Paws, the Kiwanis 10K/5K, Eastport a Rockin’, the pie contest at the Crofton Farmers Market, National Night Out, A Taste of Arundel Grown, Cardinal Kickoff, Senior Sunrise, the GCCC Festival on the Green, and RenFest a few times.

I’m also very interested in photographing Bands in the Sand, Arts Annapolis 2026, the MD Seafood Festival, Baygrass Festival, Baltimore Comic-Con, and the Annapolis Pride Parade.

If you have any connections or need a photographer for an event this year, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! With graduation coming up soon, and perhaps if you’re looking to make up for missing family sessions, I would love for you to choose me as your photographer. I charge $100 for individual sessions and $150 for family sessions.

I recently found out I need to get some dental work done, and it’s going to cost over $3K thousand dollars total (worst case). I would love to earn some extra money through photography gigs. If you know anyone looking for a photographer, please tag me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
