PHOTOGRAPHER. FORMER INTERIOR DESIGNER. MOTHER. OPTIMIST.
I am a photographer based in Northern VA, specializing in Interiors, Lifestyle, and Product photography.. Having earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and being a photographer for over 13 years, I’ve been able to blend my love for capturing a feeling in an image with my love for spaces, people, and stories. Whether it’s the feeling of being inside a beautifully designed place, or the feeling of a brand’s story and how it draws people in, my heart connects with each of these and translates it into imagery that evokes emotion. I believe in beautiful light, gratitude, and always seeing the beauty in life and in others.

Having a Master's Degree and background in Interior Design, I love working with Designers, Architects, Builders, and those in the industry to capture projects in a way that makes their vision sing. With a style that is warm, inviting, and true to life, I tell the story of a space that invites the viewer in and gives them a sense of place. I love showcasing the thoughtfulness and originality in the design, and evoking the feeling and essence of a place. I achieve this through a highly detailed eye, interesting use of light, storytelling, top-notch collaboration and communication skills on set, and a team-player mentality. I work to understand the goals of the imagery and ensure a comprehensive gallery is delivered that maximizes usage for print, portfolio, social media, and the like. Styling is always discussed before the photoshoot, and I also work with some of the top photo and interiors stylists in the area. I shoot tethered, always ensuring the vision that is to be conveyed in the space and image is translating well through the lens, and I ensure we are discussing, collaborating, and achieving our goals during the shoot. Post photoshoot, the images are edited to the finest detail, including removal of all distracting and unnecessary elements and are delivered 'magazine ready'. I value building a lasting relationship with my clients and want to serve as a true partner to your business, and I bring a positive, warm, enthusiastic, flexible, and professional presence to every project.
