This rough barn space was transformed into a finished photography studio in 2018. Previously a woodworking shed, it underwent a complete renovation (including running water and central air) and eventually became my dream photography studio in New Market, MD.

Located in the heart of Maryland, this enchanting town is steeped in a wealth of captivating history that dates back to the early 1800s. Initially serving as a strategic stopping point for weary travelers en route to Baltimore, it evolved into a haven for antique enthusiasts, earning the well-deserved title of the "Antique Capital of Maryland." Imbued with an irresistible, lovingly preserved charm, it is a testament to its bygone era's enduring allure.

Michelle is an established editor and writer (and martial artist to boot!). She came to me with a need for headshots for some new children’s books she had coming out. Check out the links below to pre-order!

One of the biggest flatteries in the photography industry is when another creative chooses you for your work. Lisa was redoing her website (Lisa Gorham Creative) and wanted some images that represented not only her brand but who she is as a designer.

Not everyone is comfortable being in front of the camera, but Lizzie nailed it. She came to the studio with gorgeous hair and makeup (done herself!) and outfits that felt authentically “her”. This senior shoot was a blast from start to finish.

My best friend from elementary school hadn’t had pictures with her kids in years, so I had to fix that problem immediately!

Smiley Nora has been a joy to photograph since she was a newborn. This time she came in with her Mommy to capture their bond. We enjoyed downtown New Market, MD, and soaked up some amazing spring-time rays.

The connection between a Dad and his Daughter is amongst one of the most important relationships. The love these two showed for each other (not just at this session) is insurmountable.

Working as a photographer for the past 10 years has allowed me to connect with some incredible people along the way. I have been photographing this little girl since she has been in her mom’s belly!

Every time I photograph kids, I make sure to get a close-up of their features and highlight their eyes. These are the things that you want to remember and melt your heart to look back on (I know from experience now that mine are getting so old!)

As an expecting mother, you deserve nothing less than a luxurious maternity shoot experience to remember.  Whether you’re having an “easy” pregnancy—is there really such a thing?—or a difficult one, we’ve got to capture that glow!  Even if you’ve never participated in a professional photoshoot before, consider scheduling one to commemorate that beautiful baby bump.

When local businesses come together to support one another, something incredible happens.  In downtown New Market, there are a number of small, locally-owned businesses that create this fantastic atmosphere.  Although I can’t pick a favorite, the new Fit2Shine studio has definitely been a great addition to our town!  So, when I had an opportunity to work with its’ co-owner (and fellow female entrepreneur) Kelly Jarvis last spring, I jumped at the chance.
