Hey there! I'm Miriam
Photographer. Storyteller. Memory Keeper.
I love doing colorful, playful sessions that feel less like a posed time and more like a good time (candids are my personal favorites).
Because if we photograph everyone we care about, we’ll always have part of them with us.
What’s up my friend!
Let’s keep things simple, relaxed, and real.
THE RESULT? A GALLERY FULL OF WARM, HONEST IMAGES THAT FEEL LIKE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
The last thing I want you to be stressed about is the photographs—that’s my job. I’ll gently guide you and your loved ones into natural movement, and all those moments in between: the laughing, holding hands, and tight squeezes.
I'm all about...
We're going to get all the photos we need. Honestly, I'll probably end up with more photos than we need. We'll always have enough time so everyone feels comfortable. For parents who have neurodivergent children: I work with neurodivergent children all the time, and it's going to be fine.
Chilled & Unrushed
I like to use very natural poses and prompts, and always plan to adjust my plans during each shoot with every family (because every family is different). And if there’s a moment where you wanna switch things up, we'll switch things up. I'm flexible.
Keeping it Real
I meet your family exactly as you are—there’s honestly no pressure to be anything but yourselves. (Plus sometimes I’m awkward too, we all have our moments.)
HONESTY & KINDNESS
I think a photoshoot should be a good time. I love kids running around, jumping, twirling, or climbing trees if there’s a good one nearby. (If we can make our photoshoot an activity, that’s even better.) Just have fun and I'll take the pictures.
Play
On Thursdays, I’m volunteering as the co-conductor for Children’s Voices of Southern Maryland, where I’m outwitting all my choristers and building my loyal following of singers-in-training. These kids range from 3–15+, neurotypical to neurodivergent, and just about every skin tone. We always have good times together during choir.
Honestly, your whole photoshoot experience should feel easy, relaxed, and genuinely fun. If your kids are talking about the shoot afterward, that’s a win.
In my free time, I’m doing something outside, completing my MBA (graduating May 2026!), at the gym, planning trips, or listening to music. I tried trapezing twice. It was cool. My camera’s name is Mehmed.
How I got here? Where I came from?
(Honestly, no idea, I don’t try to get existential)
"Miriam is an absolute joy to work with"
—Jonathan Alexandre, Google (father of 2)
"Miriam is an absolute joy to work with, and my wife and I are so grateful for her. For us, photo shoots are more than just pictures—they are emotional, forever memories. Trusting someone to capture them is no small thing. And that’s why we will always call Miriam.
Miriam does such incredible work. She captures so many great shots in a session. She has extraordinary talent and is so attuned to every detail. We like her work so much that we’ve literally planned some of our life’s most important moments around her photography.
If you have the opportunity, do everything you can to hire her. Your memories deserve to be captured by the very best—and Miriam truly is the best."
Work With Me
Couples
This is a cool session because it’s the only no-kids-allowed photoshoot. For dating, engaged, and fun couples, our ultimate goal is to not make this awkward.
Families
Families are always loads of fun. It’s a lot of personalities (or a few really big personalities) and there’s always a lot we can do together.
Children
These sessions are entirely focused on following their lead and bringing out their personality—shy or extraverted, crazy or quiet.
