From strangers to mentor and mentee.
From mentor and mentee to close friends.
I am so grateful that our paths crossed Anna and that we are so much more than friends by now. 🤍 Isn’t is crazy how you sometimes meet someone and somehow within the shortest amount of time it feels like this person is part of your daily life? I love you and your family, Anna! Thank you for letting me capture your sweet crew again this year 🙏🏻

Proof that a family photo session doesn’t have to be stiff. 🍦
We had the BEST time during the recent Shoot & Learn workshop I hosted for a small group of photographers, and this family was absolutely everything I could have hoped for.

When I was looking for a family to model for this storytelling workshop, Megan told me that one of their favorite family activities is eating ice cream in their truck while watching the sunset.
I knew right then that they were the perfect fit.
Because the best family photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones. They’re the messy, silly, in-between moments. The belly laughs, the ice cream, the chasing each other around, and the little pieces of your family life that make your story uniquely yours.
And this session? It was full of all of that. 🥹

So if you’ve ever worried that your family “isn’t good at photos,” take this as your sign. You don’t have to be. Just show up, be yourselves, and let’s have some fun. 🥰

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to capture love stories through my lens. 🤍

For me, it’s about so much more than creating beautiful portraits. I want to capture the bond between two people, the little moments, the emotions, and what makes their relationship theirs.

If you’re a photographer and want to learn how to capture more authentic love stories through your lens, send me a message. I’d love to chat with you about my mentoring options! 📷✨

A beautiful summer family photo session at Grace Haven Farm 💜

I love when families ask me for places that are more intimate… somewhere they can actually relax and enjoy themselves without feeling like anyone is watching.
This flower farm was exactly that. The kids could run around, the parents could just hang out with them, and everyone could forget about the camera for a little while. It felt less like a photoshoot and more like a fun evening together, which is honestly my favorite way to photograph families.

May I introduce you to the Dirty Dancing Move? 🤭
This is the only photo from the Shoot & Learn storytelling workshop I hosted last weekend that I have touched so far… but I had to share this one with you already.
I am still working on many galleries in the background but most of you know me by now 😂 I always have to look into each gallery right away and edit at least 1-2 photos to get a feeling for it. The rest has to wait a tad now unfortunately even though I’m dying to work on the rest.

Northern Virginia Family and Newborn Photographer Thank you for your physical performance during this shoot to show us this special move 🫶🏻🤭😂

Megan Lucas thank you for being so fun, amazing and sweet! I can’t wait to share more with you 🥰

And the way her little girl looked at her when she was dancing on the rocks in this dress 🥺🥺🥺

THE ART OF MOTHERHOOD ✨

Earlier this month, Angela | Maryland Motherhood & Family Lifestyle Photographer and I hosted our very first workshop together, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better night.
I’m so grateful to every photographer who joined us and trusted us with their time, their questions, and their willingness to learn alongside us.

We started the evening with conversations about business, storytelling, finding your own style, and a few more personal things in between. 😂 Because sometimes the best conversations happen when you stop trying to make everything so professional.

Then we headed to this stunning location to meet our sweet model family and put everything into practice with this beautiful maternity session.
Watching everyone photograph, experiment, ask questions, and find their own way of seeing the story was such a cool experience.

Thank you Jenna Weber JessicaEndlichPhotography and Gaithersburg MD Photographer for joining us 🫶🏻

Thank you Ashley Caitlin Vaughn for being so incredible and making this shoot with your sweet family extra special 🙏🏻

And of course, a huge thank you to my co-host and friend Angela for absolutely rocking this with me. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of many more adventures together. 🥹🤍
So... should we do another one?
Would you be excited to join us for the next one? 👀

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately…
I’m a photographer. I’m not really a content creator and it drives me nuts that these days it seems like a must that a photographers have to act like content creators. But honestly, I know it’s hard that we have to show up in the online world, but you can still choose how much you want to be present and how you want to be perceived. And if you want to be a photographer AND content creator that’s totally up to you. It’s just not for me. And this is the reason behind this post. Maybe it’s because I’m an early Millennial, maybe it’s because I am who I am but I wanted to make a point that I am not here to perform if that makes sense.

Are you a photographer too? How do you feel about this? Let me know in the comments ⬇️
