Rapid Turnaround
Your complete event gallery is delivered in seven business days or less. I frequently deliver sooner when the schedule and editing requirements allow.
Family photographs should look polished without feeling overly staged all of the time. I focus on genuine expressions, natural interaction, and the small moments between poses so the finished photographs feel like your family rather than simply a record of everyone standing in the same place.
I’ll still make sure you have the classic portraits where everyone looks their best, but I’m always watching for the moments that give the session personality.
From the monuments and architecture of the National Mall to quieter neighborhood parks and streets, Washington offers an enormous range of settings for family photographs. I can help choose a location based on the look you want, the size and ages of your family, accessibility, and the time of day we’ll be photographing.
Family events are often some of the few occasions when everyone you care about is in the same place. I photograph birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, reunions, and other celebrations with the same approach I bring to larger events: I anticipate what is happening, move through the room without becoming a distraction, and make sure both the important moments and the unexpected ones are covered.
The result is a complete gallery—not just photographs of the decorations and formalities, but of the people who made the day matter.
I’ve spent more than a decade photographing people in situations ranging from portraits and private celebrations to major events and assignments for organizations like NASA and National Geographic. Across all of that work, one thing remains consistent: people make better photographs when they’re comfortable enough to stop thinking about the camera.
Family photography benefits from that approach. I’ll give direction when it helps, keep things moving when attention spans get short, and know when to step back and let a moment happen on its own. The goal is a set of photographs that feels polished without making the experience feel like a production.
A Complete DC Family Story
A family gallery should preserve more than everyone looking at the camera. Explore a complete session to see the relationships, personalities, quiet details, and unscripted moments that make these photographs uniquely yours.

The subject changes. The standard does not. Across people, institutions, performance, food, commercial work, and the natural world, the approach stays deliberate, observant, and grounded in what is actually there.
