About Me


I grew up in central Pennsylvania during the 80s and 90s as the youngest of four, where childhood meant bike rides, snow days, and being home “by dark.”


Today, I live in Ashburn, Virginia, with my wonderful husband, teenage son, and our fluffy cat, Lexi—who loves a good sunbeam.


After a 25-year career in the federal government focused on program management, budgeting, and analysis, I learned the value of organization, precision, and follow-through. Armed with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, I bring those same strengths to my photography business—from planning each session to managing timelines and delivering galleries quickly and seamlessly.


As a photographer, I combine the creativity of an artist with the organization of a seasoned professional. I specialize in high school senior portraits, professional headshots, and sports photography throughout Northern Virginia. My clients value polished, expressive images that reflect their authentic selves—and my signature fast gallery turnaround, often within 24 hours. Because great photos shouldn’t have to wait.
