Engagements? Yesssss.
Weddings? Noooooo.

Here’s an update,
While I won’t be taking bookings for weddings, except for The Bennett Barn , I am back to operating on a smaller scale.
What better way to get my feet wet again than capturing my own son’s engagements.
I am SO happy for Jesi and Katelyn and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them.
Having another daughter to add to my family feels like a dream and….she’s a redhead. That makes her a shoe in!
I cannot wait to share more with you, not only pictures but what has happened over the last year and half. Why I stopped, why I’m back, and what is driving me.
I’m the meantime, I am running mini session specials for $99. Be on the lookout for post about them!

I took about a year off to start another business, and during that time I mostly photographed friends and family and posted very little. Now I’m ready to get back to photographing clients — though things will look a bit different.

Here’s what I’m offering:

➡️ Mini Sessions: $99 — 15 minutes, 5 edited images. Held twice a month; some sessions will be themed and others at a pretty location.

➡️Maternity Sessions: available in-studio or outdoors.

I’m happy to do other session types by request — just reach out and tell me what you’re looking for. I’m no longer taking general wedding bookings, except at The Bennett Barn.

Thinking of these beautiful moments and and the beautiful brides I have had the honor of serving over the years. 👰‍♀️
There has never been a moment that I have not thought to myself how lucky I am. 🍀

It truly is a magical place full of wonder and beauty.
If you’re visiting Maryland, it is a must see!
Just don’t forget your camera 💯.

For the past year, I’ve been deep in the work—both behind the camera and behind the scenes. I’ve been showing up for myself in ways I never have before, thanks to an amazing business and life coach who’s helping me reshape not just how I work, but how I live.

This season has been full of reflection, realignment, and bold pivots that feel wildly true to who I am now. Some are personal, some are business—but all of them are pointing me toward something that feels deeply right.

I can’t share all the details just yet, but trust me… you’ll want to stick around. Something beautiful is blooming. 🌿💫

Words cannot express how special this moment is.
Courtney and Hunter started as wedding clients, fast turned friends, and now I get to watch their little family bud and grow. 🌹🌺
I know a lot of photographers say this, but truly, I am always cheering for my peeps, praying for them 🙏, and I love seeing them win 🏆 at life.
This sweet blessing of a babe is going to have the best mom and dad ever ❤️❤️💯!

You know how when you walk into a room and there is good vibes, you feel the love and you just never want to leave that feeling? That was this wedding.
Amazing couple, amazing people…..good people. What a day to remember ❤️.

There is nothing more beautiful than giving yourself up before God to the person He chose for you.
Give me all the Catholic weddings ❤️❤️🙌💯.
