I’m Hope, a portrait and lifestyle Photographer
I love turning fleeting moments into lasting keepsakes.
Hi, I’m Hope (she/her) — wife, mama of two amazing kiddos, and the heart behind the camera.
I’ve been passionate about photography for over 30 years, starting at 16 with my first camera. Over the years, I’ve trained under some of the industry’s leading photographers, honing my skills in portraiture, lifestyle, and professional branding.
Motherhood inspired my focus on capturing life’s fleeting moments — tiny fingers, belly laughs, and all the little in-between moments. As my kids have grown, so has my photography, expanding from children and family sessions to branding, headshots, and lifestyle portraits that tell real stories.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with my crew, traveling with my “framily" (friends that have become family), playing board games, singing at concerts, cheering at sporting events, or enjoying a rare date night with my husband of over ten years.
Life is beautifully chaotic — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fact 1
I was born in Connecticut, grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and eventually moved closer to Baltimore. While I love the shore, being closer to city is where I feel most at home.

Fact 2
I am mom to two incredibly sweet, wildly intelligent boys who make my heart feel fuller and my world feel brighter every single day. My business exists because of them - born from a desire to capture memories while creating a life that lets me be their Mom first.

Fact 3
I have an obsession with COCOVAA Chocolates and Cajou Creamery ice cream. Seriously. Ask me about them and you will see my face light up as if you just handed me a million dollars. My family knows they are a welcome gift for EVERY occasion.

Fact 4
I am a lifelong animal lover with a resume that includes dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, fish and a six months bearded dragon babysitting gig. I do draw the line at snakes though. Bonus fun fact - MRP is named after my German Shepherd (the real CEO!).

Working with Hope W. of Moxie Rose Photography has been one of the best creative and professional decisions I’ve made. Hope has photographed both me and my products, and she has also captured stunning professional career photos for my wife. Every single experience with her has been exceptional.
Hope brings a rare blend of personability, passion, kindness, and professionalism to her work. She has a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which shows in the final images. Her eye for detail is sharp, her direction is clear and encouraging, and her commitment to quality is evident in every shot.

Working with Moxie Rose Photography was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. She photographed my son’s sports pictures in about 25 minutes, yet somehow captured so many incredible shots in that short time. Her efficiency never took away from the quality. she was patient, professional, and made the whole session feel effortless.
When we received the final edited images, I was blown away. Each photo was beautifully enhanced and perfectly captured his personality and spirit. She turned simple sports portraits into stunning, keepsake-worthy images we will cherish for years to come. I couldn’t recommend Moxie Rose Photography more highly!
