Children
Children’s Portrait Sessions are fun, relaxed, and personalized for each child. Whether we're singing, dancing, playing a game or being a little silly, we’re all about creating a joyful experience that brings out those genuine smiles and real moments.
Sessions are available in my cozy home studio in New Market, Maryland or at beautiful outdoor locations around Frederick, MD.
Children change quickly. Not just in size, but in personality, confidence, and the way they see themselves. I photograph children from 6 months through the teen years, creating portraits that celebrate exactly who they are in every season.
Whether it’s a baby sitting up on their own, a twirling preschooler, a confident tween, or a teenager stepping into their own, these sessions are about capturing personality, emotion, and the spark that makes your child uniquely them.
Elevate her experience by using a complimentary dress from my couture collection. Dresses available for sizes 2T through adult large. Styles from short and fun to long and elegant. There's a dress to make every girl confident and special.
It’s not about the dress. It’s about how she feels in it.

She made my kids think they were having fun while they were taking pictures by playing games, blowing bubbles, etc. She is not only talented, but incredibly sweet and genuine too.

We did a fun "princess" photo shoot for something outside of the box and my daughter loved it. She surly felt like she was given the royal treatment! I simply can not recommend her enough!
Melissa
Elise is so patient and great with little kids! It’s hard to get 3 under 3 to smile, but she did an amazing job! I highly recommend.
Becky
We have worked with Elise twice and both experiences were perfect! I am so happy with all of our photos.

Outdoor sessions are only held April through October, and studio sessions are held all year.
It is recommended to schedule at least two weeks in advance.
Solid colors, simple patterns, and layered pieces photograph beautifully. Choose outfits that reflect their personality and make them feel confident, this is all about capturing their personality.
Upgrade your session to include a couture dress and you'll get to choose from my collection.
I have several locations that I frequently use and recommend, including seasonal options such as flowering fields. I will send you detailed information about the locations you can choose from when you schedule your session.
You are not limited to the locations I recommend; if you have a location in mind let me know and we'll see how it will work. Some of the most special sessions take place at a location that has special meaning to a family, including their own yard.
Yes, the Family Session includes 10 images, but you can purchase as many individual images as you'd like or purchase your full gallery. Do you know you will want to keep them all? The best value is pre-purchase your full gallery at a discounted price during your initial booking.
Galleries are delivered within two weeks following the session.
Booking your family session is convenient and done entirely on your time. Just use the links in the menu, or click below, to access my calendar, choose a date that works for you, and fill out a short form with a few details about your family. Once you sign the contract and pay your retainer, your session is officially reserved. That’s it!

A non-refundable retainer of $100 +tax and the signed contract is required to reserve a session. You will complete both of those at the same time on my booking page. The balance for the session is due the day of the session.
