I am both laid-back and intensely passionate. With a quiet voice and confident energy. I am strong-willed yet open-minded. I’m a Capricorn, an Enneagram 8, and the eldest child/daughter (iykyk). You will never find me without a book in my bag, an iced coffee (in all seasons), and my kids, Eden and Oliver, in my arms.
Growing up, I was never labeled the artist, but here I am.. captivated by the camera. I have been photographing weddings, engagements, families, proposals, and events in multiple states and two other countries. From 2011-2022, I was the founder of an NGO in Liberia, West Africa, where my camera lens saw a whole lot of kids and a whole lot of dust. The work I did in Liberia, and the family I made, has shaped me in ways I am still realizing today. Through living in Liberia, I met my husband, Suah, who is currently still residing in West Africa. For now, I’m functioning as a single parent, running a full-time business, and getting little sleep in between.
Although some days are more difficult than others, this job gives me a creative outlet that has been incredibly therapeutic to this tired brain of mine.
I get to step into my artist shoes and find beauty in the every day that sometimes I often miss myself. When I leave a work day that was filled of laughter, giggles, play, and love that could be felt.. I make it back home to my babies and feel overwhelming gratitude. For this life and everything in it.
I hope my images make you feel the same.
“Molly has captured my daughter and I for over two years and she’s truly the only one I trust. You will get images that are truthful to real life and capture your family exactly as they are meant to be. Could not recommend her more!”
“Molly has been taking mine and my family’s photos for years. Each album I receive back after her shoots amaze me more and more. I especially adore out in-home session because of how laid back and natural it was. If you’re looking for timeless, real, heartfelt images that take you back in time when you look at them - Molly is the photographer for you!
“Molly took my husband and I’d photos in Central Park and we were honestly a little nervous because we don’t always feel like the most photogenic people.. but Molly was an absolute dream to work with!! She made us feel so comfortable and gave us the sweetest prompts, which made everything feel natural and fun”
My Approach
My sessions and weddings are based on organic interactions. Throw out the pinterest board and focus on being engaged. These will not be your typical, ‘look at the camera and smile,’ photographs. These will be multi-layered. These images will be filled with life, chaos, rest, excitement, nostalgia, peace, and love.
the magic
This is all you, my friend. It’s the way you comb your daughter’s hair. The way your son crinkles his nose when he laughs. The way your partner looks at you as you hold your newborn. The way you help your daughter get dressed one last time for her wedding day. The way you sing songs during bath time. The way you look at your son during the mother/son dance. The way you bake cookies on a Tuesday night. This is the magic. You and what you’ve created. The love that is shared.
