Each season a family goes through is unique in it's own. It deserves to be documented.
I offer a range of portrait types, locations and always approach each family with warmth and delight. From limited edition seasonal sessions to curated studio session to fulfill
your vision, I will work carefully to create heirlooms fit for your family.
My affinity for heirlooms and nostalgia has led me to creating a unique hybrid approach for my family clients, using both digital and film mediums to curate fine-art inspired image collections. These images are true to color and will stand
the test of time.
The saying is more than cliche, it’s true. As a parent, it all just goes by so fast. Photos are a way to make permanent each season with your family, whether your children are two or twenty-two. As a mother, I can tell you this...there will never be a more perfect time to document your family. Time is a thief and if you are always waiting, you are missing the moments most precious in front of you.
Do you dream of photographs that highlight your family in their most authentic form? Images that show the joy on your face as your new baby nestles their tiny head on your shoulder, or the way Daddy grins as he holds an armful of giggling littles? My portrait style is emotive and endearing, combining both digital and film mediums to leave you with a collection of images that highlight the relationship of your family dynamic. No stiff, posed portraits here, my friend, just images that show who you really are when you’re in the presence of the people you love most.
There’s something so cherished about seeing my clients transform from “bride and groom” to “mom and dad.” It is my joy to come alongside my couples to document them as their lives evolve. It is my honor to be the one to take the photos that become adorned with frames and hung on the walls of their homes, treasures for generations to come
Open on weekdays from 10am-3pm, The Studio is a great option for your portraits. Filled with a cozy space to snuggle your babies and an abundance of natural light. The Heirloom Collectif studio is location in my backyard in Relay, Maryland. Come by, have a glass of tea and feel right at home.
Let's face it, home is where the magic happens. Where the peanut butter and jelly's get made, the toes scurry down the hall barefooted and the first place your babies get to go. It's an unmatched location that is meant for documentation. Once i've arrived at your home and the kids have all shown me their favorite toys, I will work to find spaces within your home for the photographs to take place. No need to pick up the clutter or have a magazine worthy home, the home is award winning enough to your littles. That is enough.
From waterfront views, flower farms in the country side to historic venues, I have an extensive list of of locations to match your vision. If you have a location in mind, great! I travel up to 60 miles from 21227 without a travel fee but have no limitations to how far I will go to capture your memories in the space you desire.
Anytime! Once you're ready, reach out to me. For maternity sessions, i'd recommend the 30-34 week window. For newborn sessions, I would circle your due date in my calendar and wait to hear from you. 7-10 days postpartum for vaginal deliveries and 10-14 for cesarean deliveries is recommended.
All sessions include the edited high resolution files from the session with personal usage rights to print and share. You will not have to choose from your favorite ones, they will all be sent to you to enjoy.
Every year at a minimum. Babies don't keep mama. They go from onsies to school uniforms quicker than we realize.
There is no right or wrong time! Portrait sessions take the weight of documentation off of your shoulders. Invite me over or meet me at the park, i'll take it from there.
