Specializing in portrait photography for newborns, children, families, individuals and small events. While I specialize in portrait photography, I have also photographed weddings and have worked with local small businesses to fulfill their photography needs and have done food, forensic and animal photography. One of the images from a wedding I photographed was featured by the Hilton Garden Inn at the Washington Bridal Expo in 2012. I've also worked with several local non-profits to help provide images for their newsletters, social media and websites.
