Pink-haired, Punk Pony Princess :: Baltimore County Fashion and Portrait Photographer

You like that alliteration?;) My friend Maggie has been a willing and wonderful model for me for several projects in the past couple of years, so when she told me she had an idea for a shoot I was all about that! Maggie and I met through Shazam, our school’s Women’s Ultimate Frisbee team :)…

Whew.. finally getting a chance to post these photos from Jackie’s session. First of all, let me say that Jackie is awesome for braving the tornado-esque weather we were having that day… plus it was our make-up day since our original date was rained out. So yeah, weather was not on our side – but…

Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, here’s a look back to NYE last year! The most gorgeous December day as Corinne and Zach celebrated their marriage in a sweet intimate ceremony at Artifact Coffee! Loved capturing this day for these two and so grateful that 2020 gave us the chance to reunite again when they helped officiate their close friends Lesley and John’s intimate wedding. Happy happy anniversary Corinne and Zach! Happy first year of marriage, and here’s to many more happy and healthy years to come!! 💗
