CaptiveHeart Photography I'm Samantha and I'm the face behind the camera you'll be in front of! I'm fairly new to the Frederick MD/VA/PA area and so far love it.

I'm looking for families of all types, couples, maternity, newborn and more to add to my portfolio.

Here I am, years after taking these photos of my kids, wishing I was in more of them.

I was so busy capturing them that I barely got in front of the camera myself. I remember telling myself, ā€œAll I need is one.ā€

And I love that one. But now I wish I hadn’t talked myself out of taking more. More of us together. More of how I held them and how little they were beside me.

Because I was there, too.

So mama, get in the photos. And when you catch yourself saying, ā€œJust one is enough,ā€ give yourself a few more. I wish I had. ā¤ļø

That’s what I want to give you through a session with CaptiveHeart Photography. Time to be with your kids while I capture the way they reach for you, laugh with you, and settle into your arms.

Let’s capture this season with you in it. Message me to plan your family session.

Mamas, you know those little things your kids do that you wish you could bottle up? 🄹

The way they squeeze each other into a hug. The giggles that follow. The little personalities you see every day that don’t always come out when someone says, ā€œSmile for the camera.ā€

Those are the things I’m looking for when I photograph your family.

As a mom of three, I know getting everyone ready for photos can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. Maybe you’re worried your kids won’t sit still, someone will be having a hard day, or the whole thing will feel stressful.

There’s room for breaks, for moving around, and for taking a little time to warm up. You can love a photo like this without everyone looking at the camera. 🄰

My family photography sessions in Frederick, Maryland are about giving you space to enjoy your people while I capture the connection, the silliness, and the little things that make them yours.

And mama, I want you in some of those photos, too.

You don’t need a holiday or a special occasion. Wanting to remember your family just as they are right now is reason enough.

Message me and let’s talk about what that could look like for your family.

One day, these girls will be older, and I hope they’ll look at these photos and see more than what they looked like at this age. I hope they’ll remember how it felt to reach for their mom’s hand, run toward her, and know she’d be there to catch them. 🄹🄰

As a mom, I know how often we’re the ones taking the pictures. Getting to put her in the frame with her girls…to give them all a little piece of this time together…means so much to me. ā¤ļø
