I am a lifestyle portrait photographer specializing in family and child photography. I shoot on location in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC metro area. You can read more about me, how I work, and see more examples of my work on my portfolio website.

I am a navy brat and a redhead. I grew up in port cities on the east coast and west coast and spent much of my childhood roaming narrow city streets in Japan. I listened to fairy tales on records, caught lizards and snakes in canyons, walked on seawalls during rainstorms, and could roller-skate like nobody’s business.

I also moved… a lot—attending thirteen schools by the time I graduated. While it wasn’t the easiest way to grow up, I wouldn’t change it. It made me aware at an early age of how quickly time passes. I embraced the small and ordinary moments and clung tightly to friendships because who knew when or where our next move would be taking taking us.

Then I became a mother and suddenly—achingly—time seemed to be moving even faster. I knew I had to somehow capture these lovely fleeting moments in our ordinary days. For me and my family.

As a photographer, I want to capture these moments for you too. Your child’s infectious giggles, insatiable curiosity, soulful eyes, and kissable skin. I want your photos to be meaningful and timeless keepsakes for your family and family yet to come.

If you’ve read this far–thanks! Here are a few random things about me…

  1. I am an ISFP, Sagittarius, Monkey… for those who like those sort of things.
  2. I love to travel, but my fear of flying cramps my style.
  3. In the real world, I can’t dance, but in my kitchen–with my 3 kids and my husband–I am a rock star.
  4. I ♥ Delta Blues, Elle Decor, dive bars, etsy, and bird watching with my kiddos.
