Documenting the beginning of your story

Hi, I'm Jussara, your portrait photographer for modern motherhood.

Every family has a story, and I love capturing the earliest chapters for families in Bel Air, Maryland and the surrounding Harford County area. From maternity to newborns and motherhood, my sessions are designed to preserve the love, connection, and fleeting details you’ll want to remember. With each portrait, the goal is simple, to create memories that feel timeless, authentic, and full of heart.

Creating Elevated, Beautiful Memories

Motherhood moves fast, and the earliest moments with your baby are fleeting. Between planning, outfits, and figuring out how to get the perfect shot, it can feel overwhelming. That’s where I step in. Serving families in Bel Air and beyond, as a Harford County newborn photographer, as well as in Baltimore and the surrounding areas, I offer a fully guided, stress-free experience from maternity to newborns and babies up to 12 months. Every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can relax and enjoy the session. The result is timeless, intentional portraits that capture the love, connection, and milestones you’ll treasure forever.

testimonials

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Jussara . From the moment we arrived, I knew our baby was in safe, caring hands with a true professional. Her studio has a warm, welcoming feel that instantly put us at ease and created the perfect setting for such a special session. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful."
Zara Manuelyan
"Jussara is AMAZING at what she does. It was so important for me to get good, quality photos of my first baby and Jussara did not disappoint. Her studio is welcoming and calm for both parents and baby. Her approach is so gentle and she knows exactly what she is doing to get the best shots. My husband and I are so pleased with the photos we received that we had to purchase the full album because it was so hard to choose our favorites."
Megan Thrasher
"I can’t recommend Jussara enough for all your photography needs! After struggles of infertility I knew I wanted the most perfect maternity and newborn photos and she 100% delivered."
