Maryland Family Photographer |

As a Maryland family photographer I get to know many families some who have never been professionally photographed and others who were looking for a different type of experience.  I’m so honored they trust and select me to be their family photographer.  Although I have recently moved to Maryland, the experience my clients receive won’t change.  My goal is for my families to enjoy the whole experience from the time we first talk on the phone to the delivery and installation of their artwork.

Although each client receives a welcome packet which contains answers to many questions, along with preparation reminders, a measuring guide and some other goodies – I wanted to provide a few answers that I know many have when booking a family photographer.

(Check back next week… the newborn photographer questions will be answered.)

What to Wear at a Family Photo Session |

My biggest tip to families is to be yourself, your best self.  Let your personality shine.  Maybe you want an excuse to buy new outfits or a few new pieces but you probably already have most of what you would like in your closet.  This is me and my family below.  You can see we all using the same color palette – blues and pink/peach.  We are dressed fairly casual as that is our style.  I also selected jewelry for myself that was not overbearing but certainly “me” – a little fun and funky without going overboard.

Preparing for a Family Photo Session |

Best advice:  Relax and be prepared for fun!  I promise we will have fun and your kids will enjoy a play date with me.  Even dad will have a good time! 😉  If you are relaxed and let me take the reins, everyone will enjoy our date together.  I come prepared with goodies and several antics to keep them smiling.

I’m a mom and aunt to many kiddos – I get it!  Kids don’t always want to do exactly what we say and that is perfectly OK.  I enjoy a challenge and I know how to entertain, engage and bring out the personality of the kiddos in even some of the most challenging of times. During our consultation I will gain the personal information I need to help me connect with your children and the family as a whole.

Relax… enjoy… I got this!  Check out all the fun being had below…

Connect with me today and let’s chat about your family’s session – looking forward to getting to know you.

Family Portraits | When will I receive my photos?

During the our initial conversations, we will set up all our appointments so we can have them on our calendars.  This includes your family’s Premiere approximately 2 weeks after your session.  Your Premiere is the time when you will view all your photos and make selections for your home portraits.  Depending on what you select, your final portraits will be ready to be delivered and installed 2-4 weeks after your Premiere.

If you have time sensitive items or gifts to be delivered by a certain date, I will make every effort to assure you get what you need on time.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and chatting about your session – Connect with me and let’s talk today!

Have a joyful day!
