My Headshots and Portraits Services – Corporate, Acting, and Personal Branding Sessions. In-Studio & On-Location Across Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, NYC, Pennsylvania & Beyond

  • A portrait is more than just a picture—it’s a statement. Whether you want something bold and dramatic or soft and intimate, I use powerful lighting and intentional composition to craft images that feel striking and full of personality. These sessions are highly customized, reflecting your individuality through creative direction, location choices, and styling. Whether it’s a moody, cinematic vibe or something light and natural, I work with you to create portraits that feel both timeless and uniquely you.

  • A headshot is your introduction to the world—it should feel polished, approachable, and completely authentic. Unlike portraits, headshots are more structured and intentional, designed specifically for professional use, whether for corporate profiles, creative branding, or acting portfolios. I guide you through posing and expression to ensure you look confident and natural while capturing images that align with your industry or personal brand. Whether you need something clean and classic or more relaxed and modern, I create headshots that help you stand out for all the right reasons.

  • Graduation is more than just a milestone—it’s a moment that marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. My graduation portraits go beyond the traditional cap-and-gown shots, incorporating dynamic lighting, meaningful locations, and a mix of candid and posed images that capture not just what you’ve accomplished, but who you are at this point in your journey. Whether we’re shooting on campus or in the city, I create portraits that feel celebratory, personal, and full of life.

  • Maternity photography is about capturing the beauty, anticipation, and emotion of this transformative time. I focus on creating soft, natural moments that highlight the connection between you and your growing family. Whether you prefer something ethereal and glowing with natural light or a more dramatic, moody aesthetic, I tailor the session to match your vision. The result is a set of images that feel organic, intimate, and truly timeless.
