PORTRAIT & BRANDING

I grew up in Arlington, Virginia just outside of DC. I moved south to Richmond in my mid-twenties, and now, after 35 years, I am back in Arlington! My gorgeous kids are grown and weaving their own lives and growing families of their own, so I clicked my heels together and here I am; back where it all started, because there's no place like home.

I suppose I am an artist first. I approach the world and my daily life with the eye, and heart, of an artist and all that comes along with that.
Portraiture will always be at the core of what I do with photography, and that led quite naturally to Personal Branding.

My life has been a tapestry of experiences and that continues to inform what I do creatively. I have worked within so many creative fields and that experience gives me a unique perspective that shapes what I see, and what I do, photographically.
A Portrait or Personal Branding session is such a fun experience for me and I try to pass that joy on to my clients. Watching peoples self confidence evolve and grow and know that I am a part of their success, is a job I take very seriously, but also rejoice in.
One of my favorite things about this work, is making new friends. Friendships that blossom both personally, and professionally.
When I look back on the last 20 years of images I've created, I'm often moved when I see the journeys I've been a part of.
