I’ve loved photography my entire life. 

 

As a Washington, D.C., native (but a country girl at heart), I first dreamt of being an equine photographer. I later fell in love with portrait photography, photojournalism, and documentary photography as well. At Shepherd University—where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography—I would spend up to 8 hours daily in the dark room, perfecting my craft. 

 

In 2003, I kicked off my professional career in the event industry, and I’ve been photographing weddings for over 17 years. I’ve also worked in the photography business as a post-production manager, retoucher, editor, educator, art director, and digital asset manager. 

 

While I have photographed some of the biggest, most over-the-top weddings imaginable, I am now excited to be focusing on more intimate celebrations, and on my two passions: people and horses. A rider myself since age 12, I am happy to help wrangle both four-legged and two-legged subjects on my shoots!

 

My business is firmly rooted in customer service—top priority is putting my clients at ease in front of the camera. (And I can be as silly as needed to get a genuine smile out of the kiddos!) I take pride in bringing sensitivity, creativity, and enthusiasm to my work. “That was actually really fun,” is my favorite comment to hear after a shoot. My goal is for clients to feel good about themselves when they see their final images.
