Testimonials
“We have the most amazing family pictures. One of my children was not able to cooperate or listen much… I left the session thinking there was no way we got a photo of everyone smiling and looking good. Not only was I wrong but Joanna was able to capture so many magical moments.”
— Adrienne W., Crofton, MD
“We couldn’t be happier with our photos. When we received our full gallery, we were blown away by her artistic talent. She truly has an incredible eye for color, light, and angles.”
— Jessica G., Crofton, MD
“I finally booked with Joanna. And let me tell you, it was great! I was anxious about the photos but she talked me through every step of the way… The pictures are just priceless. Thank you Joanna for the precious photos of my family.”
— Farishta H., Crofton, MD
FAQ
How do I book a session?
To reserve your date, contact me to receive your booking calendar. Then, complete a short questionnaire, sign the session agreement, and pay the $100 session fee - this fee is included in your chosen package.
What happens if it rains?
Maryland weather can be unpredictable, so we plan sessions with flexibility in mind. Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or a light sprinkle of rain, we’ll aim to keep your session on track. If steady rain is expected as your session approaches, we’ll coordinate to find a convenient time to reschedule. Overcast days are actually wonderful for photography, often creating soft, natural light and some of the most magical, dramatic images!
How do I get young kids to cooperate?
Photographing energetic little ones is one of my favorite parts of family sessions! As a mom of two, I know how to engage kids and make the experience fun and relaxed. Keep the session exciting by talking about it in a positive way leading up to the day. Dress your children in comfortable clothes and feel free to bring a comfort item like a blanket, stuffed animal, snack, or bubbles (no electronics, please).

When will we receive our photos?
Galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks of the session. You’ll be able to view and select your images in a private online gallery.
Can we purchase additional images or the full gallery?
Yes. After your session, you can choose additional images at $10 each or upgrade to the full gallery for a flat fee of $150.
