Grab a coffee & say Hello!

Don't worry, my coffee is probably cold too or still sitting in the microwave!

I'm a proud wife to my best friend and love of my life, Rob, and a mama to two energetic sons who keep me on my toes and fill our lives with endless joy and chaos. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me in my favorite workout clothes, sipping coffee at all hours, binge-watching some awesome new show, and indulging in my obsession with dinosaurs.

"Cherish the chaos in life, for there is beauty in the chaos and those moments make up your story."

Hi there! I’m Bethany, your go-to storytelling and moody photographer based in the beautiful Annapolis, Maryland.

My Story

Photography isn't just my job—it's my passion. Motherhood opened my eyes to the fleeting beauty of everyday moments, inspiring me to capture and preserve those precious memories. My kids have shown me the magic of freezing time, and I want to share that gift with you.

Whether you're discovering the joy of pregnancy, welcoming a new baby, or cherishing the journey of your growing family, I'm here to celebrate each chapter with you. My goal is to create an experience that's authentic, bold, and brimming with emotion, so you can relive those cherished memories again and again.

Let's connect and turn your beautiful family moments into timeless keepsakes. I can't wait to meet you and tell your story through my lens!
