Lifestyle Photography
As a photographer, I've always been drawn to capturing authentic moments in life. That is why I specialize in Lifestyle Photography. This unique approach showcases real emotions, genuine interactions, and unfiltered moments.
Lifestyle Photography is all about telling a story through images, capturing the essence of everyday life and the people who live it. Whether it's a family picnic in a Maryland park, a stroll through the streets of Washington, DC, or a cozy gathering in Northern Virginia, I strive to capture the true essence of the moment.

A Southern Maryland Winter Engagement Session
In Southern Maryland, where the landscape is as diverse as the love stories it hosts, Liz and Jesus's engagement session turned out beautifully.

Photo, we are honored to be entrusted with capturing the magic of such moments.
LOVES to Snuggle: A Heartwarming Family Photoshoot in Reston, VA
Denniss joined me in this session because he has a talent for making people laugh and feel at ease. It would be too if the parents were relaxed. Also, having two photographers take photos simultaneously could increase the chances of getting a good shot of Shreyas looking directly at the camera. This can be difficult with children with autism, but it would mean the world to his parents. If Shreyas responded better to one of us, the other photographer would step back and let the one who gained his trust take the lead. We also brought some toys and gave ourselves plenty of time to take photos so we could take breaks whenever necessary.

Check out the Allegory Bar if you're in the metro DC area or visiting. It's a speakeasy-style bar in the Eaton, with fantastic drinks and a laid-back and eccentric ambiance that I enjoyed.
