I’m a family photographer based in Aldie, Virginia, serving Loudoun County, Northern Virginia, and beyond. I photograph families, newborns, maternity, children, couples, seniors, and pets, both outdoors and in the comfort of your home or my studio.
My goal is simple: to create photographs that feel like you. The genuine smiles, the belly laughs, the way your child reaches for your hand, and all the little in-between moments you might not even realize are happening. Those are the memories I want you to have.
I started my photography journey in 2011 when I couldn’t stop dressing up my dogs in costumes and photographing them. That little obsession turned into a career, and my Boston terriers even landed on national greeting cards thanks to their very enthusiastic mom!
Before photography, I spent more than ten years as a model. That experience taught me so much about lighting, posing, and what it feels like to be in front of a camera. I bring that knowledge to every session, helping you look and feel your best without making your photographs feel stiff or overly posed.
My husband and I have three daughters, three dogs (Fawkes, Pig, and Gruff), and two kittens named Hermione and Crookshanks. If you’re noticing a theme with the pet names, you’d be correct. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, an avid reader, a 10k steps a day girlie, pho lover, peloton lover, and MAJOR workaholic!
As a mom, I also know that getting everyone ready for family photos can feel like a lot. Kids don’t always cooperate, toddlers have their own agendas, and sometimes the best photographs happen when nobody is looking at the camera. That’s perfectly fine with me.
During our session, expect plenty of prompting, natural posing, silly antics, and occasionally me singing at the top of my lungs if that’s what it takes to get a genuine smile. I’m here to help you feel comfortable, have fun, and enjoy the experience rather than worry about getting everything perfect.
Whether we’re photographing your growing family, welcoming a new baby, celebrating your senior, or including the pets who are every bit as much a part of your family, I want you to walk away with photographs that feel authentic to your life right now.
Let’s make a little magic together!
