Today, I got to see and feel the joys of my children growing up in the technology age. My son Grayson, almost 7 years old (in July) and his twin sister, Madelyn have Apple iPads. They are in the first grade and are really excited about reading, writing and “growing up”. They had Samsung tablets, […]

Happy Birthday Pop Today, many are celebrating St. Patrick’s day.  My family will be celebrating my dad, Kelly Patrick (aka Pop).  He was born 64 years ago today.  He died almost a year ago (May 9th).  Since then we have had a lot of firsts as a family.  Today is no different. It’s his first […]

I have known Mike and Denise for many years. I knew them separately as individuals (prior to becoming “The Ladd’s) and then when they married. Over the years, I have had the privilege to watch their love grow. When Denise got pregnant with their first child, Landon, I knew she was going to be a […]

Kinder Farm Park Engagement

Bleues REAL wedding!

“Skiing is just a series of continuous recoveries”. This was shouted on the lift at Breckenridge, Colorado as we were going up to the top watching a skier fly over a hill and almost (almost being the operative word) eating a ton of snow. I have never skied in Colorado. I learned how to ski […]

A Year Review

It was the night before Christmas…and all through the house, my keyboard is clicking from the computer mouse lol~ We squeezed in just before the holiday a family session with Tyler, Craig and their 3 beautiful kiddos! We had the session right in our neighborhood near the clubhouse where we could find the only green […]

The Earley family is full of so many things I love and am familiar with! Public Safety, Parents who’ve been together forever literally glowing when they are around each other and twinsies 😉 I shot Brian and Rebecca’s wedding on my birthday this past October! It was a ton of fun! I enjoyed working with […]

Okay, so I wasn’t going to blog any of my sessions from October until now because we have been super busy with sessions (YAY!), however, I can not justify allowing these two little’s pics to go unseen with how precious they are! This is my third Christmas shooting this twinsie duo and this is my […]

This is one of my favorite stories of how I met a client. I work as a Fire Captain for a local department. Last year, we had a citizen drive to the front of our firehouse frantically upset because he saw a small kitten stuck in the engine compartment! We quickly went to work to […]

I was lucky to meet Jenn Kelly at a holiday vendor event in Bowie a few years ago. We became “facebook” friends then we became “real” friends, lol!  where we actually saw each other in person and our kids played together 🙂 .  Her daughter, Rylee is 7 and Deklan is 8.  They are close […]

Schaefer’s Canal House Maryland

Columbia Maryland Wedding

Funerals Are For The Living Often, when I talk about death or dying, I say “funerals are for the living, not the dead”.  Further explaining that I didn’t really care much about what happens to me after I die. Why would I? I will be dead. I would insist that I didn’t want people to […]

Julia A little blonde haired, piercing blue eyed girl named Julia has turned 1!  I met her brother, her momma and dad before she was even born!  When I first started photography, this amazing family took a leap of faith in me and allowed me to take some fall mini session portraits. I’ve come a […]

All Dogs Go To Heaven I went through the Fire Academy almost 14 years ago (I was 20 years old). When I graduated, I bought my first townhouse and almost immediately bought a dog.  It was around Christmas time. There was a breeder in Howard County that only had litters once a year. I went […]

One of my very favorite clients, Katie and her family received military orders and suddenly had to move :(.  I got a photo session of her sweet baby girl before they left, but Katie had already paid for another family session. So, Katie gifted the session to her long time friend, Julia! Julia and Katie […]

I met Joe and Cherie when Cherie was pregnant with baby Ella.  They were glowing and excited to meet their little girl for the first time. I was so excited to capture this!  During the shoot, we did a silhouette and took some pictures under “their tree”.  They had pictures under the tree when they […]

Billingsley House Wedding

I get asked all of the time “how did you end up a wedding and portrait photographer?” Well….my kids! In 2012 I was pregnant with my twins, Madelyn and Grayson. Just like every soon to be parent, I couldn’t wait to see what they looked like, how their personalities will be etc. I knew I […]

Our daughter is completely in love with her stuffed pig, Pua. I “talk Pua” to her and she laughs and laughs. She wanted me to take Pua with me on my trip to Mexico because she said Pua loves cruise ship. So I decided to make her a children’s book of all of Pua’s adventures […]
