I am based in Northern Virginia and photograph families, couples, maternity sessions, newborns, and weddings throughout Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington DC. Some of my favorite locations include Loudoun County, Harper's Ferry, Shenandoah National Park, Bluemont, Leesburg, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Washington DC. I am also available for destination weddings and travel worldwide.

Yes! I am a Northern Virginia photographer serving families, couples, and wedding clients throughout Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Arlington, Alexandria, and surrounding areas. My photography style combines cinematic storytelling with natural, candid moments to create timeless images.

I offer family photography, maternity photography, newborn photography, couples sessions, engagement photography, intimate weddings, elopements, and full wedding photography coverage. Whether you're celebrating a new baby, documenting your family, or planning your wedding day, I focus on creating authentic images that feel true to your story.

Absolutely. Every session includes location guidance based on the look and feel you're envisioning. Whether you're dreaming of mountain views, open fields, forests, lakes, urban settings, or an in-home session, I'll help you choose the perfect location in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, or Washington DC.

My photography style is cinematic, candid, and film-inspired. Rather than relying heavily on stiff poses, I guide you through movement and natural interactions that create genuine moments. The result is a gallery filled with authentic emotion, beautiful light, and timeless storytelling.

Yes! While I am based in Virginia, I travel throughout the United States for weddings and elopements. I love documenting celebrations in unique locations and am always excited to discuss destination wedding photography.

I believe photography should feel effortless and enjoyable. From personalized planning and location assistance to styling guidance and natural posing, I create an experience that allows you to be fully present. My goal is to capture the genuine moments, emotions, and connections that make your story unique.

Yes. In-home family sessions are one of my favorite ways to document everyday life. These sessions allow your family to feel comfortable in a familiar environment while creating meaningful images that tell your story in an authentic way.

You can expect a sneak peek gallery within 72 hours of your session or wedding. Full galleries are typically delivered within 2–4 weeks for portrait sessions and 8–12 weeks for weddings.

Absolutely. As a family photographer, I understand that children need space to explore, play, and be themselves. Rather than expecting perfect behavior, I create an environment where kids can interact naturally, resulting in genuine smiles and authentic family moments.

Professional family photography preserves memories that become more valuable with time. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, welcoming a new baby, or simply documenting this season of life, professional images allow you to relive those moments for years to come.

The best light for outdoor photography is typically during golden hour, which occurs shortly after sunrise or before sunset. Golden hour provides soft, flattering light that creates the warm, cinematic look you see throughout my portfolio. For families with young children, I also offer morning sessions when lighting conditions are favorable.

Your session is designed to feel relaxed and enjoyable. Rather than placing you in stiff poses, I guide you through prompts and movement that encourage genuine connection. This approach allows me to capture authentic moments and natural emotions while creating images that feel true to your family.

Yes- absolutely. I’m based between Oregon and Northern Virginia and currently photograph weddings in both areas. I’m also available for travel and love working with couples in new locations.

For portrait sessions, I book within about 50 miles of the DC area. If you’re not sure if your location falls within that range, just reach out and ask.

For weddings, I keep travel simple and transparent and will go over everything upfront so there are no surprises.

I like to keep things straightforward and focused on what actually matters. Wedding packages include a set number of hours of coverage and a fully edited online gallery where you can download and share your images.

Portrait sessions include the session itself, guidance on planning (outfits, timing, and location), and a curated gallery of edited images.

You can find more details on my pricing page, or I’m always happy to walk you through options and help you decide what fits best.

Yes, and this is a big part of how I work.

My approach is centered around making things feel natural, not stiff or overly posed. I love capturing photos that feel like still frames from your favorite film, cinematic, emotional, and real.

During portraits, I use simple prompts or “tasks” instead of traditional posing. I’ll give you direction like walking together, talking, fixing a dress or suit, or just interacting naturally. It keeps things moving and helps me capture the in-between moments that feel the most genuine.

I also always make space for a few classic, timeless shots where you are looking at the camera. I will guide you through those so you never feel unsure of what to do.

For the most part, I take a more documentary style approach during weddings, letting real moments unfold naturally while gently guiding when needed so nothing feels forced or unnatural.

The goal is always the same. Photos that feel cinematic, emotional, and true to you.

It really depends on the look and feel you’re going for, but I’m always happy to help you choose. I spend a lot of time photographing in both Oregon and the DC/Northern Virginia area, so I can recommend locations based on scenery, lighting, and how busy they tend to be.

Whether you’re drawn to mountains, water, open fields, or something more urban, I’ll help you find a spot that fits your style and photographs beautifully. And if you already have a meaningful location in mind, I’m always up for that too.

We roll with it. Some of the most cinematic, emotional photos actually happen in less-than-perfect weather.

If it’s just light rain, I’m always down to embrace it with umbrellas or covered spots. If the weather is truly not workable, we’ll adjust plans and find an alternative that still feels beautiful and natural.
