GET TO KNOW ME

I’m a Maryland wedding photographer with more than a decade behind the camera, combining thoughtful direction with the instinct to recognize when a moment needs room to unfold. My work blends fine art composition, editorial portraiture and documentary storytelling, from the quiet anticipation of a wedding morning to the last song on a crowded dance floor.

Beyond weddings, I bring that same intentional approach to maternity, newborn and family sessions throughout Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia.

ARTFUL DIRECTION.
HONEST CONNECTION.
