Calling all my friends who have ever seen a baby deer, beautiful bird, or cute squirrel in their yard and wanted to take a better photo of them! Here's a wildlife photography workshop I'm attending this month.

I know the speaker, Ellen Zangla. She is easy to listen to, her program is worth it, no fluff (except for the fluffy bears 😊) and packed with solid, useable information. She shares her knowledge generously, she's award-winning at the highest levels and still so down-to-earth.

Everyone is welcome to attend this program put on by the Maryland Professional Photographers Association in Ellicott City. MDPPA.org to register.

Whether you bring your team to my cozy Savage Mill studio, or I bring the full setup (yep, lights, makeup artist, and all) right to your office, we’ll make the whole process easy and actually…fun!

I recently worked with Fasteau Family Dentistry to create fresh headshots, team photos, and shots of their space—and their images and website look great! I wrote a blog about how easy it can be to update your team's headshots.

Just wrapped up an inspiring week at the Mid-Atlantic Regional School of Professional Photography -- M.A.R.S.—a hands-on photography workshop in Dewey Beach, DE! 🌅 From sunrise shoots to after-dark light painting at the ocean's edge, and everything in between, I spent the week learning from the amazing Francie Baltazar Stonestreet and connecting with fellow photographers from all over the country.

I’m always investing in my growth to bring you the best experience possible—refined skills, fresh ideas, and creativity fueled by community. 💫

Please enjoy this image of Mo! We met several years ago for a portrait session and recently, she contacted me for updated personal branding images. She is celebrating a successful conclusion to one position and looking ahead to her next opportunities! Mo's positive energy is always a joy to have in the studio, and I can see and feel both the warmth and confidence she projects here.
Thanks to the Anne & Chris at The Portrait Salon team of
Anne Kelley Looney and Bekahbeauty for helping Mo shine.
Thanks Xanadu Botanicals & Design, LLC for the greenery accents!
