Baltimore Family Photographer
Honest, heartfelt imagery for families who want to slow down, hold tight, and remember how it felt.

Now that I'm A Mother...
I understand it in my bones.
These days are fleeting, and yet they hold everything.
The soft curls. The tiny hands. The way your child looks at you like you’re their whole world. I photograph families not only for the photos we want today, but for the legacy we’ll hold onto tomorrow.

THE JHP EXPERIENCE
Here's what you can expect
A family session with me isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles.
It’s about play, connection, and the in-between moments that say everything. I’ll gently guide you, meet your kids where they are, and create a space where joy naturally unfolds.
The result? Images that feel like home.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR:
natural & timeless photos.
You won’t find trendy edits or overly posed smiles here. Just honest, emotive images that feel like your family — right now, in this season. Photographs you’ll return to and pass down, year after year.
A Comfortable, Connection-First Session
Whether your toddler is wild or your partner isn’t thrilled about photos, I’m here to help everyone feel at ease. Sessions are calm, flexible, and guided with gentle direction — so what shines through is real connection.
A Photographer Who Sees the Little Things
The way your son reaches for your hand. The way your baby fits just right on your hip. I’m always watching for the quiet, in-between moments that make your family yours. Those are the ones we’ll preserve.
More Play, Less Pressure
Your session won’t feel like a performance. I’ll help you slow down, enjoy time together, and forget the camera is even there. The result? Images that look like art and feel like home.
Support Every Step of the Way
From location tips, what-to-wear help to helping you preserve these memories in tangible form, you’ll have everything you need to feel prepped, confident and taken care of. My goal is to make this as easy (and joy-filled) as possible.
Someone who believes memories deserve more
Because some moments deserve more than a screen. I offer handcrafted, heirloom albums designed to be held, shared, and passed down. Tangible proof of the people and love that shaped your story.

The Seasons Capturing
MOTHERHOOD & MILESTONES
From first kicks to first steps, these sessions are slow, intentional, and filled with presence. A gentle way to preserve the wonder of this season — before it becomes a memory.
Family
Barefoot, belly-laughing, a little chaotic — come just as you are. We’ll capture the love, the energy, and the beautifully real moments of your crew.
Couples
From anniversaries to everyday magic, these sessions celebrate closeness, connection, and the story you’re writing together.
The Process
We’ll talk about your family — what makes you smile, what you want to remember, and how you want to feel when you look back on these years.
Step one: Connect
You’ll receive personalized guidance tailored to your session — including styling support and a prep guide designed to help you feel at ease. So when the day arrives, you can simply show up, be yourselves, and know that the beauty of this season will be captured just as it is.
Step two: personalize
We’ll meet somewhere meaningful — your home, the beach, your favorite park — and I’ll gently direct while allowing space for natural magic to unfold.
Step three: The Session
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a gallery full of warmth, movement, and meaning. These are the images that will live on your walls, in your hands, and in your hearts.
Step four: relive it all
