Behind the lens...
Hi!
I'm Donna
Think we'd be a good fit?
Have a question or ready to book a session?
Since 2002, I've been a natural light portrait photographer specializing in relaxed, low-key sessions to authentically and artistically capture the essence of personalities through light-filled color and classic black & white images.
Based in Arlington, Virginia, I love collaborating with families, seniors, couples, and professionals throughout the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland areas.
I haven't always been a photographer....
I started my career as a CPA with Arthur Andersen and then as a finance manger with Accenture Consulting. After the first of our three children were born, I was inspired to learn how a camera, natural light, and the art of observation could document our children's emerging personalities and mannerism which were sometimes disappearing before I was ready to let them go.
What began as a passion fueled by joy, chaos, and bittersweet moments eventually launched Donna Owens Photography. Everyday, I'm grateful to continue doing what I love with other families and professionals.
I'd love to explore how we can use my passions for natural light photography and people to help document the joyful, complex, chaotic, and quiet moments that make you uniquely you.
