Maryland wedding and family photographer serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and the East Coast. I’m Christine Baumgarten, a Maryland wedding and family photographer and the owner of Silver Orchard Creative. I create fine art photography with an editorial edge for couples and families who value imagery that feels refined, honest, and enduring. Based in Maryland and serving Washington, DC, N

orthern Virginia, and destinations throughout the East Coast, I photograph weddings, surprise proposals, engagement sessions, maternity portraits, newborns, families, graduating seniors, and meaningful celebrations. My approach blends editorial portraiture, thoughtful direction, and documentary photography to create polished portraits alongside candid, unguarded moments. Every experience is carefully planned around your vision, with location guidance, wardrobe and styling support, and a calm presence behind the camera. Wedding photography is available throughout Maryland, Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and the greater East Coast. Family, maternity, newborn, and senior photography is offered throughout Howard County, Montgomery County, Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia, with destination portrait sessions available. The result is classic, true-to-life photography that preserves not only how this chapter looked, but how it felt to live it.

A lifestyle maternity session at home in Montgomery County, Maryland

Some families you photograph once. Others become something closer. The Senter family is the kind you stay connected to—through seasons, milestones, and little messages that carry big news.

Zarah’s text caught me completely off guard in the best way: “We’re expecting again!” And not long after, the follow-up—“Just one baby this time!”
