Hey friend!

Let’s talk about one of my favorite recent senior sessions—this one took place at Newtowne Neck State Park in beautiful Southern Maryland, and it was the dreamiest. If you’re thinking about booking senior portraits in the Leonardtown area, this spot is definitely worth considering. But before we dive into the fun stuff, here are a couple things you should know!

First: bring the bug spray. I’m talking mosquitos and tiny gnats that come out with a vengeance—especially around sunset near the water. Also, heads-up: the park closes about 30–45 minutes before actual sunset, so we plan ahead and shoot a little earlier to still get those golden vibes.

We started this session in the open grassy fields, and everything felt soft and peaceful—perfect for some sweet, relaxed portraits. Then we wrapped things up on the beach with toes in the sand and golden light on the water. It was magical. Newtowne is one of my go-to spots for senior photos because it offers the best of both worlds—pretty fields and beachy backdrops all in one.

Whether you’re graduating with the class of 2024 or getting excited for your senior year in the class of 2025, I’m here to help you create a session that feels like you. As your Southern Maryland senior photographer, I focus on portraits that are natural, fun, and full of personality. No stiff poses or forced smiles here—just you, being your best self.

We’ll talk through outfits (yes, I’ll help you plan them!), chat locations, and go over everything so you feel 100% ready. I’ve even got a curated client closet with pieces you can borrow to elevate your look. My job is to make the process easy and actually fun—and to make sure you leave with photos that feel as confident and joyful as you.
