A family laughing together on a trail in Patapsco Valley

Family photography · Woodstock, MD

Real moments, beautifully kept.

Relaxed, natural sessions for families across Howard, Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Carroll counties, from first snuggles to grandparents' weekends.

Hi, I'm Rachel

Photos that feel like your family.

I'm a family photographer based in Woodstock, Maryland. My sessions are easygoing: we walk, play, snuggle and laugh, and I catch the in-between moments you'll want to remember.

No stiff poses and no pressure on little ones to perform. Most of my families come to me through friends, and I'd love to meet yours.

Simple from start to finish

  1. Say hello

    Send a quick note through the booking form with the kind of session and dates you have in mind.

  2. Plan together

    We'll pick a spot and a time with great light, and I'll send tips on what to wear.

  3. Enjoy your session

    Relax and be together. I'll guide you gently and keep things fun for the kids.

  4. Get your gallery

    Your edited photos arrive in a private online gallery, ready to download and share.

Let's make some memories.

Weekend and evening dates fill quickly, especially in the fall.
