Last Spring I photographed the Cherry Blossoms in DC for the very first time, and to be honest, I really didn't like most of my shots. It was so crowded on the day that we visited, which made it really difficult to properly compose an image, much less take one without a ton of people... Continue Reading →
Christmas Card Portrait Photo Shoot
I recently had the pleasure of shooting Christmas card photos for my daughter and her husband at the location where they got married, Swan Harbor Farm in Harford County! I loved photographing at this location because you have so many backgrounds to choose from! The Farm House itself is breathtakingly beautiful, but so are the... Continue Reading →
Concord Point Lighthouse in May
I grew up right down the street from this Lighthouse and used to walk to it all the time as a kid. The surrounding landscape and huge promenade that sits adjacent to it today had not even been thought of back then, but still to me, it was just as beautiful. There are a thousand...

William Paca House and Garden
If you ever venture to downtown Annapolis, you must visit this breathtaking two acre estate and garden. The garden is divided into a formal section closer to the residence, and the "wilderness" is near the back of the property, which is where I captured this image of the summer house. William Paca was a signer of... Continue Reading →
Seeking Shade
Do you ever just want to hide away from the world, I know I do. I found this frog lounging within a tangle of Lily Pads, half in sun and half in shade, she was taking a break from the paparazzi of photographers trying to catch a great shot of her. (And from the children... Continue Reading →
Concord Point Lighthouse in Black & White
I photographed this image at Concord Point Lighthouse in Havre de Grace, MD on a cold winter day in January. I decided to edit it in Black and White because I felt that it captured the mood perfectly, and the bare trees were an ideal frame for the lighthouse behind them. My settings were: F11,...

Water Lilies
I am obsessed with the the shades of purple that I captured in this image, as well as the reflection of the water at the base of the lilies. Believe it or not it was a perfectly sunny day when I shot this, and a huge cloud came over at just the right moment to... Continue Reading →
Purple Water Lily
I captured this image on a bright summer day in July of 2018. The afternoon light cast the most amazing reflection in the water resulting in this beautiful golden bokeh. (If you don't know about bokeh, it is the background behind the subject of the photo being perfectly blurred in such a way as to... Continue Reading →
Sailboat in St. Michael’s Maryland
I captured this image in the fall of 2017 in beautiful St. Michael's Maryland. Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay ensured that I would be captivated by the element of water my entire life. The moody sky and the reflections in the water in this shot makes my heart sing! I shot it using... Continue Reading →
Fuchsia Water Lily
There is something about this color fuchsia that I just love. I honestly believe God is the Master Artist. This was shot using my Canon 80D, 1/3200, F6.3, 200mm, ISO 800.
Liriodendron Mansion, Bel Air MD
The Liriodendron Mansion was the historic home and estate of Dr. Howard Kelly, his wife and nine children built in the 1890's. Currently it is used for weddings, conferences, events and as an arts facility. Liriodendron (leer-ee-o-dendron) is the botanical name for the tulip poplar, many of which can be found around the grounds of... Continue Reading →
Sunrise at Concord Point Lighthouse- MD
I photographed this image at the request of a charity auction who wanted a photograph that would interest a wide number of people from Maryland. I could not think of a better subject than Concord Point Lighthouse. Ironically I grew up just a few blocks from here, and the lighthouse served as a symbol... Continue Reading →
