I’m Helen, and I want to be the photographer your family gets excited to see because they know they’re going to have fun creating portraits. My goal is to make you and your kids so comfortable during our session, you’ll want to give me a hug when we’re finished. My sessions are about so much more than taking pictures. They’re about spending time connecting and laughing with the people you love. I’
ve been preserving memories for families since 2010 and it is my passion. I want to create beautiful images from your most important milestones down to the often overlooked details in your life. My approach is relaxed and sincere so I can candidly capture the perfectly imperfect moments that show your connections and tell your unique story. I’m a Maryland girl, born and raised, and love living in gorgeous Frederick County. My obsessions include documenting my own children with whatever camera I have with me, taking care of all the animals in our little homestead and planning our next road trip. Being a mom to my three kids is everything to me and my babies are my proudest accomplishment. I always want them to remember how much they were loved and how much fun we had together. My business is my other baby that I have poured so much of myself into over the years. I love my clients like family and always give 100% at every single session so that we can freeze beautiful memories in time. My students mean the world to me, so I share with them everything I’ve learned during my photography journey. I would love to add you to my client and student family so we can create beauty together! I’ve been mentoring photographers since 2013 and live for that lightbulb moment when everything clicks and inspiration is born. Teaching about the business side of photography is so important to me because burnout in this industry is too common and unfortunate. Whether you want a portfolio review, a camera lesson or a complete photography A to Z guide, I’m here for you.
