Portraits that feel like you
Thoughtful, natural portrait photography for the moments, milestones, and seasons that deserve to be remembered.
More than a picture. A portrait of you.
The best portraits don't feel forced. They feel like you.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, marking a new chapter, updating your professional image, or simply want photographs that reflect who you are right now, I'll create an experience that feels relaxed, natural, and personal.
I'll guide you through posing and expression while leaving room for the candid moments and genuine personality that make your photographs uniquely yours.

You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to be comfortable in front of a camera. And you definitely don't need to know what to do with your hands.
That's my job.
I'll guide you throughout your session with natural posing and simple direction, while giving you space to move, laugh, interact, and let your personality come through.
My goal isn't to create a photograph that looks perfect.
It's to create a photograph that feels like you.

FAQ
What should I wear?
Choose clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colors, timeless pieces, and subtle textures tend to photograph beautifully, while large logos and busy patterns can be distracting. Once your session is booked, I'll send you a style guide with tips and inspiration, and I'm always happy to help you narrow down outfit choices before your session.
I hate having my picture taken. Can you help?
Absolutely! Most of my clients tell me they're nervous or don't know how to pose before we begin. You don't need any modeling experience. I’ll guide you every step of the way with natural direction and prompts that help you relax. My goal is to create portraits that feel genuine, confident, and authentically you.
Where do portrait sessions take place?
Portrait sessions can take place outdoors, in your home, at your workplace, in my studio, or at another meaningful location. Whether you're drawn to a scenic park, an urban setting, or something more personal, I'll help you choose a location that complements your style and the story you want your portraits to tell.
Can I bring multiple outfits?
Yes! Outfit changes are included with select portrait collections and are a great way to add variety to your gallery. Whether you're looking for both casual and dressy looks or want to create different styles for personal branding, we'll plan your wardrobe to make the most of your session.
Can we take photographs at more than one location?
Absolutely. Depending on the collection you choose, we can incorporate multiple nearby locations to create a more diverse gallery. During our planning consultation, we'll discuss what you're hoping to achieve and determine if multiple locations are the right fit for your session.
Can you help me choose a location?
Of course! I photograph throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, and I'm happy to recommend locations based on the look you're envisioning. Whether you prefer classic architecture, city streets, open fields, waterfront views, or seasonal blooms, we'll find the perfect setting for your portraits.
How many photographs will I receive?
How long does it take to receive my images?
The number of images depends on the portrait collection you select. Some collections include a carefully curated selection of edited images, while others include your full edited gallery. No matter which collection you choose, you'll receive a beautiful variety of portraits that capture your personality and the purpose of your session.
Your professionally edited gallery is typically delivered within 1 week of your session. During busier seasons, turnaround times may be slightly longer, but I'll always keep you informed. If you have a specific deadline, let me know when booking and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule.
Do you offer professional headshots?
Do you offer personal branding sessions?
Yes! I offer professional headshots for individuals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and teams. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn photo, a company bio image, or updated marketing materials, we'll create portraits that are approachable, professional, and true to your personality.
Yes. Personal branding sessions are designed for business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives who need more than a single headshot. Together, we'll create a collection of images that can be used across your website, social media, marketing materials, speaking engagements, and other professional platforms, giving you a cohesive and authentic visual presence.
Lets create something that feels like you.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, stepping into a new chapter, or simply want photographs you'll love, I'd love to create something meaningful with you.
