Hi there!

​

Since 2002, I've been a natural light photographer specializing in relaxed and engaging portrait sessions to authentically capture personalities and connections in light-filled color and black & white images.  ​Based in Arlington, Virginia, I love collaborating with families, seniors, couples, and professionals in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland to create custom photography experiences. 

​

I haven't always been a photographer.

​

After graduating from William&Mary with an accounting degree, I moved to DC to begin my career as a CPA with Arthur Andersen and a finance manger with Accenture Consulting. In 1998, after Jack was born, my mom lent me her all-manual Pentax K-1000 film camera so I'd have a 'creative outlet' while adjusting to staying at home with a newborn.  Over the next five years, Sara Jane and Kate rounded out our family of five, inspiring me to learn how film, natural light, and the art of observation could freeze time to authentically capture our children's unique personalities and mannerisms.  What began as a passion fueled by the joy, chaos, and bittersweet moments of motherhood, evolved into the creation of Donna Owens Photography.

​

Today's focus: 

​

 I strive to create engaging and enjoyable client experiences to artistically document real life through images that evoke emotions and help preserve your precious memories.  

 

I'm sincerely grateful for my family's and clients' support to continue doing what I love.
