I was also recently the ranked #1 in the state of Virginia as a top rated business. NUMBER 1!!!! This was given to me based on my 5 star reviews on google and social media sites. That means the world to me. My actual clients, giving amazing reviews says a lot.
I have grown in this industry to capture timeless, classic looks for my clients, which is what I have become known for. I focus on my subjects to create simple, but stunning memories for you. I'm all about giving you something outside the box. GLAM is the name of the game when it comes to being in front of my camera.
What if I told you I could take the BEST photograph of you that you've ever seen of yourself? What if I told you, I can make any woman feel beautiful? What if I told you that the newborn days fly by, but I can capture those moments flawlessly? What if I told you that I can create jaw-dropping images that, in 30 years from now, will be priceless? (Trust me on this one!) What if I told you that's what I can do for you?
I absolutely LOVE what I do. My motto is do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life. So, I invite you to come feel beautiful. I invite you to come create memories and be photographed with the ones you love the most. I invite you to come spend time with me and walk away with something to hang in your home that you want to showcase to the world.
Your Fun-Loving Portrait Photographer
I'm MJ
I've been in the photography industry for over 15 years now! I photograph newborns, and maternity all in my Chesapeake, Virginia studio. I've been featured in several print magazines and have won numerous awards for my newborn and maternity work. I am blessed to get to mentor and teach other photographers all over the WORLD!
Hi
MJ was such a breath of fresh air and truly a joy to work with. She’s positive and bubbly and just makes you feel good when you’re around her. I was nervous before my session because I had never had a “photoshoot” done before and was feeling a little self conscious. That went out the window as soon as I was in the studio. The makeup artist she works with, made me look and feel so beautiful! There is also a huge selection of dresses to choose from as well as jewelry. She has truly thought of everything to make the whole photoshoot easy and super fun...

This empowerment and branding session was an absolute vibe — everything I didn’t know I needed and more! Not only did I walk away with incredible footage for my business, but the experience itself left me fully embodied in the version of me I’ve been stepping into. MJ and her team worked seamlessly with my videographer, creating a smooth, professional, and unforgettable experience. I felt seen, supported, and fully expressed. HIGHLY recommend working with MJ if you’re ready to be captured in your power!

This review is long overdue, but so well deserved. MJ was my maternity and newborn photographer, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly passionate about what she does, and she has the kind of warm, nurturing personality that makes you instantly feel comfortable—she’s made for this kind of work.

Absolutely STUNNING photos and worked so well with our newborn! Mj has the magic touch in her work ☺️ She was so sweet and charismatic and was so much fun to work with. Would 10/10 recommend booking a session with her!
Brittany
My experience with MJ was absolutely amazing. To start, I’m not a very social person and MJ instantly made me comfortable during the consultation. Then during the maternity shoot, MJ and her studio were the perfect environment for a relaxing and very fun experience! The newborn shoot was such a relaxing time for a new parent(s). My husband and I did nothing but watch MJ work her magic. Baby whisperer for sure! I absolutely loved everything about the sessions, the studio, wardrobe and of course MJ herself!
