Meet Emmalee~ a lovely girl from across the Bridge who came to see me after Easter. I had just finished shooting some children, so its always a nice break to photograph a willing and lovely teen… I don’t have to quite “work so hard.” ;) We giggled our way through Denton & Caroline County, and as you can see, she was a trooper in her sleeveless and dresses… as it must have only been 50* degrees that day!

Thanks for coming to see me Emmalee! Best of luck next year!!

The M family members are troopers.  Vacationing from NJ on Kent Island, MD, they wanted me to come out and photograph them on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.  I was originally slated for a Saturday night shoot.  But then the weather forecast said 70% chance of rain.  So we moved it to the night before.  Only 20% chance of rain.

Wouldn’t you know, it started to rain on my drive in.  It sprinkled all of my time there, with a short heavy rain in the middle (we hid and shot on the porch).  The beautiful crazy of it all?  We could see directly across the bay to Annapolis… where the sun was setting and gorgeous.  So the silhouette you’re about to see?  Raining on us.

Enough about the story… what a genuinely gorgeous family.  Such warm and generous hearts… mom had never met before… but the wind had picked up and she kindly lent me her sweatshirt.  They were true sports to follow my directions in the windy drizzle….

Thanks M family!  I’m SO HAPPY for the raindrops we had that night!

I get contacted quite a bit to shoot headshots for realtors, professionals and aspiring actors and models. Its a great gig! As much as I *love* photographing little ones, sometimes its a breath of fresh air for a teen or adult to pose exactly as I say how… lol.  All joking aside, I’m always happy to provide you a great headshot for whatever reason.

Most recently Felicia came to see me.  I’ve photographed her before and was so excited to see her smiling face again.  Don’t you just love her dimple?  She’s so beautiful!

Dee Martin is an actor from NY who traveled all the way here to Maryland for me to shoot his professional acting headshots. You can view Dee’s acting resume and accomplishments HERE at IDMB. Maybe one of my photos will replace that one there… ;)

If you are an actor/ actress/ Realtor, or need some other type of profession headshot in the Washington DC metro area, I can be of service. Just contact me via the Contact Tab on my website.

Trey is a young man headed off to Air Traffic Control school this next Fall.  He’ll be directing your air travel, while decoding weather mysteries, all within the next couple of years.  Trey is a young jet-setter himself, as he and his family travel to Japan every year to visit relatives.  I had a great time with Trey…. you may not be able to tell, but he was quite a chatty guy, and he is for sure a great catch ladies!

And one to get a little funky….

Thanks Trey! Good luck next year!

One year ago I shot some of my favorite images of Audrey… her in her little pink tutu.  A year later, I wanted a couple more tutu and pearl shots, especially with my awesome new background.  I “puffy heart” this set up SO much!

Hannah is a senior this year… she is a star athlete in her school, and a fashion icon.  Not only does she inspire others in what to wear, she designs some of her things too!  Hannah is a lovely girl, inside and out, and I love her sensitive spirit.  And it doesn’t hurt with how beautiful she is!!!

Connor is one of those young men that everyone loves. He’s got the total package, a great son, a wonderful friend, lots of charm, and a deep faith.  He’s multi-faceted when it comes to the outdoors… he loved to play soccer, rock climb, play ultimate frisbee, and take long backpacking trips.

Thanks Connor for a great senior session, and best of luck at Maryland next year!

I’ve known and loved Melanie for three years now. You may remember meeting her HERE.  She’s a stunning girl, with a beautiful soul, and she’s a ranked swimmer.  She always has a joyous and curious spirit, and is not afraid to share her heart with you.  Melanie has been a mentee, a babysitter, and yes, even a friend who’s lent an ear.  With her, her soul is ageless and her generosity knows no end.  Love you my OAR sistah!

Kirtan was one of my last models that I had the pleasure to shoot and work with. First off, he’s rather dapper, and his English accent is charming.  I realized I hadn’t shown off my male model work, and Kirtan was one of my favorites.  Enjoy!
