From Engagement to Newborn: Alyssa + Jay’s Story
As a Bel Air, MD photographer specializing in engagements, weddings, maternity, and newborn photography, I get the joy of capturing life’s most meaningful seasons. But every so often, I get to walk alongside a couple through all of those milestones—and it’s truly something special.
Alyssa and Jay’s journey is the kind of story that reminds me why I do what I do. We met for their engagement session in Annapolis at Quiet Waters Park, and right away, we clicked. Which you can read all about here! Their love was easy to capture because they were comfortable, open, and genuinely enjoyed the process. When you vibe with your photographer, the results are natural, relaxed, and beautifully real.
Soon after their engagement session, Alyssa and Jay chose me as their wedding photographer for their Anchor Inn Wedding.
Photographing their wedding day didn’t feel like working with new clients—it felt like showing up for friends. I already knew their personalities, preferences, and how to photograph them in a way that felt honest and flattering.
That kind of trust makes a huge difference on your wedding day. Everything moves fast, and having a photographer you’re already comfortable with can reduce stress and make the experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Alyssa and Jay reached out again with the sweetest news—they were expecting their first baby. We planned a sunset maternity session near the water at Downs Park that captured the quiet excitement of becoming parents.
When their baby arrived, I came to their home for a relaxed, lifestyle in-home newborn session in Bel Air. It was cozy, natural, and deeply personal—exactly what I love about photographing newborns in their own space.
Watching their journey unfold through my lens has been one of the greatest joys of my photography career.
Why It’s Worth Building a Long-Term Relationship with Your Photographer
Working with the same photographer over time offers so many benefits, especially when it comes to documenting your growing family. Here’s why staying with a photographer you connect with just makes sense:
✅ Comfort and Confidence: No awkward first meetings. You already know how I work, and I already know what helps you feel comfortable and look your best.
✅ Consistent Editing + Style: Your photos—from engagement to baby’s first year—will flow together with a timeless, cohesive aesthetic.
✅ Personalized Experience: I’ve learned your story, your style, and what matters to you. That allows me to tailor each session in a way that feels natural and true.
✅ Stronger Storytelling: Together, we’re not just creating photos—we’re telling the story of your life as it unfolds.
