I’m Ginny

Maryland, DC, Virginia Family and Portrait Photographer

I love to capture that instant when everyone is most natural, most at ease, and the beauty of the person or place shines through the lens.

I love all kinds of subjects, but specialize in love between families - big, small, simple or messy- it all holds it’s own unique beauty!

I shoot mostly in natural, available light, wherever everyone is most comfortable— your home, park, playroom or bathtub. It's more about playing than posing, and catching those moments that are most natural and fun.
