The Cole family photos are some of my favorites! We took this last spring and I’m so happy to finally be sharing them here. We were able to get some really beautiful images of the cherry blossoms, which ended up being more of a feat than we had initially thought because they blossomed so late this year!

I’m so excited to share these beautiful images of the Stoker Family in the cherry blossoms! Spring in Maryland is a magical time of year, and that’s due to these pretty little blossoms that litter the trees all over the state. This specific session took place in Green Park, which is in Gaithersburg. Green Park is…

I’m so excited to share another session with the Ripptoe family! I love when clients come back to me for another photoshoot, especially just a few months after our last session together! It’s fun for me to get to see families growing up and it’s an honor that I’m the one trusted to capture special memories for them.

Meet the Klein family! I met Kara, Dan, and Teddy on an overcast day at Gambrill Mill in Urbana, Maryland. This is one of my favorite Frederick area locations to meet for a session because it gives a variety of natural beauty in one easy-to-find space. During my time with the Klein family, we stuck to the field at the end of the boardwalk, which was perfect! We shot after a few days of rain that made the riverbank a little too slick, but this golden field definitely fit the fall vibes they were looking for.

Meet the Crichton family! We met up at the Red Rock Wilderness Park in Leesburg, Virginia. I have to be honest, I had NO idea how popular this park was until I arrived and saw at least four other photographers there leading their clients around. It’s never a bad thing to stumble into a photography hot-spot, but it definitely makes the task of finding a spot without other groups a little more challenging.

This adorable family is the Conran family. They just welcomed their fourth child before Christmas, and with their first child's upcoming baptism, now felt like the perfect time to get updated photos of all the kids. The Conran’s are an amazing family and I am so excited to share this family photoshoot with you.

I’ve been taking Paige and Ty’s photos for literal years. From extended family sessions to anniversary sessions, it’s been such a pleasure to see their family change throughout the years. It’s been so fun to get to know them over the years! I really love working with the Viehwig’s every chance I get. Paige and Ty are fun, energetic, and have a vibrance about life that you just can’t help but love.

Isn’t the Merrill Family just so cute? I absolutely loved taking their family photos. You can really tell from their images that they are a happy family who just enjoys being together. Kristen, McKay, and their kids were so wonderful to work with! One part of my job that I love is getting to know my clients on a personal level. Kristen and McKay are incredible parents and consistently work together to make the best life they can for their family.

This beautiful family photo session was such a pleasure to photograph. We went to Deer Creek Reservoir in Northern Utah and the weather was delightful. The Keeling family consists of Mom and Dad with their two darling daughters. Preston and Jessie were some of my very first clients ever! I took their engagement photos, wedding photos and I have had the pleasure of working with them regularly since then. They are always a total dream.

I had the pleasure of working with the Hansen family last fall when I did their family photos and I could not believe how much these little twins have grown! It is so fun getting to work with return clients and seeing how they have changed. Griffin and Owen had zero interest in sitting still, but I really can’t blame them as we were out in nature and it is no surprise that these toddlers just wanted to explore. So for this session we focused on getting a lot of moments of genuine interaction.

Cydne and Brayden are one of those love stories you hear about as a teen and dream of having as your own. They were high school sweethearts, both took time away from school to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and were married soon after returning home. They both went on to get upper-level degrees and became very successful in their careers. Can you say power couple? Because they totally are.
