Motherhood is a journey filled with fleeting moments—each season bringing new love, new milestones, and new memories to hold onto. That’s why I created the Motherhood Photography Membership, a simple, beautiful way to capture your baby’s first year through meaningful, stress-free sessions.

A Spring Maternity Session in Baltimore

This sweet family’s story began with a spring maternity session at Sherwood Gardens in Baltimore. The tulips were in full bloom, and golden light filled the garden. Big sister twirled through the flowers while her parents soaked in the joy and anticipation of baby Eleanor’s arrival. It was a tender, quiet moment—right before everything changed.

Newborn Moments at Home

A few months later, we met again for Eleanor’s newborn session, this time in the comfort of her nursery. These in-home sessions are calm, cozy, and full of love—giving families space to slow down and soak in the beauty of life at home. From mama’s soft cuddles to big sister’s proud kisses, we captured all the little details: tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the deep love that fills a home when a new baby arrives.

A Birthday Back at the Gardens

Fast forward a year, and we found ourselves back at Sherwood Gardens, where Eleanor—now full of joy and curiosity—played in a bed of daffodils, smiling up at her parents. Watching her grow from a tiny newborn to a giggling one-year-old was a reminder of why storytelling through photography is so powerful. These are the moments that pass too quickly but can be held onto forever.

What’s Included in the Motherhood Membership?

The Motherhood Membership includes:

  • Three custom sessions over 12–18 months
    (typically maternity, newborn, 6-month milestone, and first birthday)
  • Access to styling assistance and session planning
  • A custom-designed heirloom album or print package

It’s perfect for families who want their baby’s first year documented without the stress of coordinating multiple sessions!

Let’s Tell Your Story Next

Your motherhood journey deserves to be remembered—not just in photos, but in a way that feels real, intentional, and lasting.

With the Motherhood Membership, your baby’s first year is documented in a way that tells the whole story—from anticipation to arrival and all the love in between. No stress of booking multiple sessions, just an effortless experience tailored to your family’s journey. Let’s preserve this beautiful year– together.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Megan

A mother of four sons and a firm believer in the beauty of everyday moments. 

As a film photographer, I cherish the art of slow, intentional storytelling—capturing the quiet in-between moments, the fleeting newborn snuggles, and the way love unfolds in the simplest gestures. Motherhood has taught me that time moves far too quickly, and photography allows me to pause it—preserving the feeling of these days in a way that’s honest and lasting.

I believe in more than just taking photos; I believe in creating heirlooms—tangible memories you can hold in your hands, pass down through generations, and relive over and over again.
