I’m a Maryland girl, born and raised, and love living in the country where there are more cows than people. 🙂 My career was born out of documenting my own children, then capturing clients’ memories, and later, teaching photography. Taking care of all the animals on my little homestead, growing food for my family and planning all kinds of adventures is what lights me up. Being the best mom I can be to my three kids is my #1 purpose and I always want them to remember how much they were loved and all the fun we had together. My business is my other baby. I love my clients like family, give 100% at every single session, and create precious memories that last forever. I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned during my 14+ year photography journey, so I give out all my best secrets to shorten my student’s learning curve. I’d love to add you to my client and student family so we can create beauty together!
Hi, and welcome! 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 feel like I’m a family friend 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 documenting memories for families for over 14 years and it’s one of my passions, along with teaching the craft. When my photography students have that lightbulb moment and everything suddenly falls into place, I know I’ve inspired more than a hobby, but a way to create a legacy for their family. My style is relaxed and sincere so I can candidly capture genuine smiles and perfectly imperfect moments. I promise to make you look your absolute best and have your portraits reveal connection and tell your unique story. See what my clients have to say in their own words.
I educate photographers and other female entrepreneurs who want to learn photography, build their business and achieve a manageable work-life balance. I love teaching about the business side of photography but I also provide portfolio review, camera settings, and any other topics you need help with!
