I'm a Northern Virginia photographer specializing in family, maternity, couple, and senior portraits. I have a passion for creating photographs that evoke emotion and the love radiating from every image. So, while I include photos of everyone smiling at the camera, I focus more on the bond shared between the people I photograph.
My photos are light, bright and airy, with a perfect touch of warm tones. I believe my style of photography helps every moment captured feel editorial and timeless. After our session, I carefully and professionally edit each image, delivering only the highest quality masterpieces.
The natural beauty of the world around us has always been a source of joy in my life. From the radiant glow between those who truly love each other to the breathtaking blooms of spring blossoms, I’m always in awe, and photography helps to freeze those inspiring moments forever.
I believe my behind-the-scenes nature led me to this behind-the-lens passion. My passion for photography is built on using the gift God has given me to create timeless treasures full of love, laughter, and genuine connection.
In 2015, I took my passion for embracing every moment to the next level when I started officially learning the art of photography. In 2019, I felt called to turn my hobby into a career, and I’ve been so blessed ever since. My heart is full knowing my photos will be hung on the walls in people’s homes and passed down for many years.
I am in love with capturing love! Photographs capture so many different types of love - a couple in love, a strong family bond, a soon-to-be mother connecting with her baby in the womb, or a single portrait of someone expressing self-love and confidence.
While my passion for photography began by capturing beautiful moments, I struggled with wondering if what I was doing really “mattered.” I LOVED my job but wondered if I was really making a difference.
Until photography mattered more than I could have ever imagined.
When my dad passed away in August of 2021, I was left looking at photos of us, day after day, as a reminder of his smile, which by the way, lit up a room, and the sweet memories we made together. In a moment, those pictures and family portraits became my everything.
Although losing my dad has been the hardest season of my life yet, it has also brought a whole new meaning to what I do. His passing confirmed the importance of documenting life with our loved ones. It was a heartbreaking realization that time slips too quickly through our fingertips. We never know what the future holds, and every moment is a gift. Each one should be celebrated. I think we all subconsciously know this, which is why we fill our phones with pictures and videos. We all want a way to remember these moments 5, 25, or even 50 years from now.
Photography is more than just great lighting, poses and backdrops. Photographs that capture genuine connection and evoke raw emotion each time you look at them are what matters most. The ones where you can “hear” your loved one’s laughter long after the moment has passed. The pictures that take you back to those precious moments when you lovingly savored every tiny (or strong) kick inside your growing womb. And those that help you hold onto your HS senior, even when they’re states away.
I feel blessed to be able to help you build memories that deserve to be captured and treasured for a lifetime.
Thank you, Heidi, for giving us something that we can cherish now and for years to come.
Her photos are truly magic...romantic, classic, bright, airy, whimsical, clean, fresh, timeless...I could go on. She captured our relationship with her camera perfectly and you can tell she spent the time to carefully choose the best photos while paying attention to special details. We can't thank her enough for being so kind, warm, professional, down to earth, and truly gifted at what she does."
