I am based in Annapolis, MD and the majority of my sessions are in Annapolis, DC, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, and the Eastern Shore (Maryland and Delaware).

Not local? I will travel anywhere in the world for a photo session! Please note that there is a small travel fee for locations beyond 30 miles of zip code 21403.

Express Sessions are my version Mini Sessions where you get to pick the location and date (so it’s actually better than the Mini Sessions I used to offer where I picked the location and date).

Express Sessions are perfect for people who are looking for only a few great photos of their pet or a family photo. We prioritize the image(s) you want, take them, look at the best ones, and order your Prints and Products, all in the same day.

Express sessions are also perfect for people visiting Annapolis who want to have a special experience and custom images from their vacation.

I’ve heard lots of “what if” questions, and the good news is that I’ve been able to solve most every challenge tossed at me. Safety and comfort are my #1 priorities. Plus, there is this magic thing called Photoshop which is my secret weapon for removing leashes so it appears as if your pet was running free!

As for indoor sessions, I bring my own “sunshine” so I can photograph in almost any environment. This goes for outdoors too - If we need extra "sunshine" I always have some.

If you have a specific “what if” question about your pet, please reach out so we can chat. You can book a call, or email me.

This is the #1 fear that people have. No matter if your pet is wiggly or aloof, the most important thing is to capture their true personality. I have seen it all and have some tips and tricks for getting beautiful images, regardless of how your pet behaves. And if you don’t connect with any of the images of your pet that I capture, we can re-shoot. I want you to be 100% thrilled with your experience and the final product.

We do not have a studio where you come to for your photo session. The location of your photo shoot is your choice. Cats are typically photographed at their home where they are most comfortable, and dogs can be photographed in your backyard or inside your home. I always bring studio lighting with me on location, so I can photograph in any environment.

Some of our most popular location choices around Annapolis include beaches like Sandy Point State Park, parks such as Quiet Waters, or even downtown at City Dock or at the Naval Academy.

Other locations that I have done photo sessions at include the monuments in DC, the National Arboretum, Patterson Park, horse farms in Davidsonville, St. Michaels, Easton, Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach - basically, anywhere you want!

If you don’t have a specific location in mind, we can plan a location together based on your personal aesthetic and vision. 

While there is no set time limit for Epic Sessions, in my experience with the attention span and patience of animals (and people!) sessions last around 2-3 hours. We will spend an early morning or late afternoon together aiming to capture everything on your wish list.

These are the best times of the day for photography, allowing us to take advantage of the beautiful light during sunrise, sunset, and the golden hour.

During your Image Reveal, I will show you all of the best images from our time together. This number varies, but is typically around 35-45+ images.

Express Sessions work best with one pet so I can capture as much variety as possible in a short period of time. If you have more than one pet and want an Express Session, let’s chat – depending on your goals, having more pets may be ok (for example, if you are looking for a family photo).

Up to three pets are included for Epic Sessions. Additional pets can be added for $50 each.

For all of my sessions, if the pets are from different families, separate sessions should be booked.

I love taking family photos that feature your pets front and center. I like to take a mix of images of everyone looking at the camera (I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to get the attention of both dogs and cats!) and ones where you are all loving on your pets. The images I take of the special bond between you and your dog, cat, or horse are often top favorites from the entire photo session.

Yes I do! If you are looking for a special and unique gift for a friend or family member who loves their dog or cat, giving them a pet photography session is a perfect choice. Whether it is for a birthday, holiday, or just because, recipients can have their photo session at a favorite location or in their home anywhere in the Annapolis, Baltimore, MD,  DC, VA or Eastern Shore area.

The most popular time for pet photo sessions in the mid Atlantic area is in the spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming and in the fall when the leaves start to turn colors. 

If you know you’d like to have a photo session during the spring or fall, it is best to book 4-8 weeks in advance, as the available slots can fill up quickly.

Please note that due to my other job working as an Expedition Guide in Antarctica, I am typically not available for photo sessions between December and March.
