Twenty years of photography experience has taught me that what makes an image special is how it makes you feel.  

Since 2002, I've been a natural light portrait photographer specializing in relaxed, low-key sessions to authentically and beautifully capture the essence of personalities and feelings 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 started my career working for Arthur Andersen and then Accenture, but after our first of three children were born, I was inspired to learn how a camera, the art of observation, and a little creative-thinking could help me document the details about our children's mannerisms and personalities that were disappearing before I was ready to let them go.  

 

What started as a passion fueled by countless chaotic and bittersweet moments of motherhood, evolved into a small business.  Everyday, I'm grateful to be able to continue doing what I love with families and professionals.    

I'm excited to explore how together, we can use my passions for photography and people to help you document and preserve the joyful, serene, thoughtful, intense, complex, chaotic, and quiet moments that make you uniquely you.

Have a question or ready to book a session? Either way, I'd love to chat!
