Custom Photography

Potomac, MD Portrait Photography Customized for Your Family

Custom photography is essential for clients who value art, an individualized portrait experience, and superior client service.

My objective in providing a custom photography experience is to create images that reflect my clients’ personalities, style, and vision for their portraits, and to assist them in selecting the best means of displaying and preserving those images.  The experience begins with a pre-session consultation, during which we will discuss your preferences for your your portraits and wardrobe/styling for the whole family.  All of my portrait sessions (with the exception of mini sessions) include access to my client closet, which contains dresses for new moms, as well as some dresses and button-down shirts for younger children.  In addition, I maintain an extensive, carefully curated collection of high-quality  newborn and baby props at my studio that are available for your use — including outfits, headbands, wraps, rompers, blankets, baskets, bowls, etc. —  so you do not need to worry about providing any items for your newborn or milestone sessions.  However, I am always happy to incorporate family heirlooms or other items of special significance that will make your portraits uniquely yours.

Following your session, I spend many hours retouching and editing your images to ensure that I provide you with polished images in which everyone looks their best. In addition, I will personally meet with you at my studio to present a slideshow containing your final images. At that time, I will assist you in making your image selections — I am able to guide you through my portrait collections, show you actual samples of product options (including color and material swatches for albums and premium frames), demonstrate how your images will look in various sizes and configurations on the walls of your home, and assist you in choosing images for your custom wall gallery or album.

In my experience, it can be very advantageous to have someone guide you through the ordering process and demonstrate how to best showcase your images, which is why I prefer in-person ordering sessions. Nothing breaks my heart more than hearing that people who receive or purchase digital files often simply file away their downloaded images or flash drive, and never actually get around to printing their images. Not only are they not reaping the benefits of the time and money they invested in their portrait session, but they are also missing out on the daily enjoyment of the art — the beautiful pictures of their loved ones — that they helped to create.

It`s never too late for baby portraits!

Missed the newborn window? No problem!
You can have beautiful memories of your baby`s tiny fingers, chubby toes, bright eyes, and sweet smiles at any age. Whether your little one is 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, there is still so much magic to photograph.

It`s not too late to freeze this season in time! And with my full-service studio, including an extensive client closet for babies, I make it as easy as possible for you to capture those memories whenever you are ready! 💚

The sweetest in-between stage!

From those gummy little smiles and curious eyes to sitting up, clapping, crawling, and showing off that growing personality — 6–12 months is full of the sweetest milestones! 💙

There’s something so special about the way a big brother (or *two* big brothers) looks at their new baby for the very first time. 🤍

In the whirlwind of newborn days, it’s easy to focus on those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and all the little details of your newest love. But don’t forget to capture the bond that’s just beginning between your babies, too.

These portraits aren’t just about how small your newborn was. They’re about the beginning of a lifelong relationship, a new chapter in your family’s story, and a love that will only continue to grow.

Trust me, you’ll never regret having these moments documented! 🤍

🤍 Because they’re only this little once. 🤍

The tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the soft newborn sighs, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms. These are the moments that pass far too quickly, even when it feels like you’ll remember every little detail forever.

Newborn portraits are about so much more than beautiful photos. They’re about preserving the beginning of your baby’s story, capturing the love that fills your heart, and holding onto the little details that will one day feel like a distant memory.

One day, those tiny fingers will hold yours a little less. Those newborn snuggles will turn into big hugs, and you’ll look back at these images wishing you could step into that moment just one more time.🥺

That’s the beauty of photographs. They let us relive the moments our hearts never want to forget. 🤍

If you’re expecting, consider this your reminder to capture those first precious days. Your baby will never be this little again, but you can always have these memories to look back on.

Sitter portraits (portraits of your baby at 6-12 months old) are all about capturing who your little one is right now. Her curious eyes, her gummy smiles, the way she grabs her little toes, and that personality that has grown so much in less than a year.
As a photographer and a mom, I know how quickly this stage passes. Give yourself the gift of remembering exactly who your baby was at this age. I promise you will never regret having these memories to look back on! 🤍📷
