I'm so glad you're considering me to preserve your family's memories. While it's true that we can't freeze time, I strive to create imagery that brings you right back to a fleeting season year after year, and I'd be honored to do just that for your family.
This guide will provide an overview of the AWP Portrait Experience, as well as pricing information and sample work. To reserve your session, use the scheduling link at the bottom of this page to schedule your Planning Consultation.
I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be.
With me, your family photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time.
I know how busy you are, and how much your family means to you. Let's preserve this moment so that you can return to it for a lifetime.

Amanda entered our home on a day that felt like complete chaos and made magic happen. Her calm and warm presence was exactly what we needed. We'll cherish these photos forever.
I am based in southern Maryland, but my included travel radius extends to Annapolis and Washington DC. The majority of my clients choose to hold their sessions at their homes or at exclusive venues throughout the area. I am thoroughly knowledgable of all the best local portrait locations and will help you choose the perfect place for your family. Most family sessions take place on weekday evenings and select weekends, with newborn sessions taking place in the late morning.
My approach is a skilled mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on genuine human connections. My high emotional intelligence allows me to sense when my subjects are carrying tension or feeling anxious, which I use to gently guide them in a way that feels authentic to the individual. You can expect thoughtful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself.
Because every family's priorities and vision are unique, we've done away with the "one size fits all" membership and instead opted for a more custom approach. Book any two sessions together and receive 10% off, book three and receive 20% off, and book four sessions together and receive 30% off. Flexible payment plans are available for bundled sessions.
You'll receive your images within 10 days of your session, but often much sooner. Your edited, high resolution images will be delivered via a secure online gallery. From there, you can download your images, share with loved ones, and order professional prints. If you've chosen a collection that includes artwork, we'll begin that process right after gallery delivery!
I'm so excited to work together! To book your session, simply respond to the welcome email with the collection you're interested in to receive a booking proposal. Once the proposal is complete, we'll schedule a phone consultation to talk through all of the plans in more detail!
Envision a portrait experience that will capture the essence of your family. You’ll love reminiscing on what this season of life was like for years to come. To ensure that your session is reserved, please use the link below to schedule your Planning Consultation. Last, but not least, allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your inquiry. I look forward to hopefully working together!
