I'm a Jesus follower, mac 'n cheese lover, and travel enthusiast. I specialize in wedding, high school senior, and lifestyle photography in the Frederick, MD area but am always down to travel. I'm a mama to two, married to my high school sweetheart, and am passionate about authentically telling love stories through photography and eating as much dark chocolate as I can. Stick around awhile to view the latest love stories I've had the privilege of capturing.
Heather & Kyle’s Wedding at Glen Ellen Farm I love when my couples try to really make their family a part of their wedding day. For their beautiful wedding at Glen Ellen Farm, Heather and Kyle did just that. The only difference is that in this case, their family is their puppies! Heather and Kyle […]
Personal connections always make photo shoots so much more memorable and fun. I connected with Heather a few years ago at the Holly Hills Bridal Expo when my booth happened to be next to her Heather Rae Style Studio display. After talking for a few minutes, we discovered that her fiance, Michael, was a high […]
It’s time for high school senior pictures again and Alex was an amazing first senior of the season. Alex is a cheerleader at Linganore High School and has the most beautiful blue-green eyes and a contagious smile 🙂 We had a lot of fun exploring the gorgeous Dulany’s Overlook especially when we spotted three large […]
I love this couple. They are sweet, humble, funny, and love and serve the Lord. Matt and Sarah grew up only ten minutes from each other but didn’t meet until college when my matchmaking sister Rebecca (whose wedding you can find here) introduced the two of them. Although they shared classes and had secretly noticed each […]
When Jessica and David told me they were thinking of going with a gunpowder and lace theme for their wedding the first venue I thought of was The Lodges at Gettysburg. I was so glad they chose it because I think it perfectly complimented their understated theme. Jess’s lace dress and beautiful hairpiece set the […]
Get excited cuz this Linganore Winecellars engagement shoot features Sammy Stakem who in my unbiased opinion is one of the coolest people ever and has also been one of my best friends since 4th grade. If you need proof, below you will find a picture from my 4th grade birthday party in which I (the […]
If ever a wedding day could be considered, “perfect” it was Adam and Danielle’s Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery wedding. Despite the fact that most of July has been downright miserable their day was beautiful; sunny, low 80s, with a gentle breeze. Danielle chose a lavender and teal color scheme and their decor was simple but […]
I have literally been counting down the days to this wedding for months now! I have always wanted to photograph an Antrim 1844 wedding and when Sara contacted me about photographing her wedding there I couldn’t have been more excited. I was thrilled not only about the gorgeous venue but also about getting to be […]
Every now and then I meet a couple who were absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt meant to be together. Sammi and Ben are one of those couples. High school sweethearts and English teachers, these two have a shared love for literature, theater, Dungeons and Dragons, all things nerdy (Sammi’s words, not mine!) and […]
