MEET THE ARTIST

Our greatest moments are not simply those which we enjoy as they happen,
but those which we look back on, time and again. Through my photography, those significant moments will transform into a lifetime of memories.

I can’t wait to show you how beautiful you are behind my lens!

Hi! I'm Gina

It all started with my marriage to my best friend and husband, Brian - he was the first person to ever encourage me to chase after a dream I thought would forever remain a hobby. Thanks to him, I embraced my right brain dominant tendencies and ignored the voices inside my head that told me I couldn’t “make it” as an artist. I’m incredibly lucky to have a husband who’s as invested in me as he is supportive of my growing business! Together, we are now raising 3 incredible boys whom we hope will one day chase their dreams with equal fervor.

IN A NUTSHELL

As a busy mom to THREE boys, I understand just how fleeting this sweet season of life can be! My style of photography is primarily photojournalistic, blending those spontaneous candid moments and flattering portraits together to illustrate your family's unique story. I also emphasize the use of natural lighting to enhance the quality of the photos we capture.

Whether you have experience with preparations going into a photoshoot or this is your first time having professional photographs taken, I will share my experience and guide you every step of the way in planning and preparing for our time together. Nothing will be left to the last minute and there is no doubt in your mind about why you chose to work with me!

Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or at an outdoor location in the Northern Virginia area.

"Absolutely unbelievable photographer but even more incredible person"

"Gina is absolutely incredible!! I cannot recommend her enough! She is a true artist and her ability to capture the joy of our family was truly amazing. She took the time to walk us through location options, wardrobe, and everything in-between so we felt completely comfortable going into our first ever photography session! I look forward to working with her again in the future! Absolutely unbelievable photographer but even more incredible person :)

. Your style is elegant, bright, and full of movement. By focusing more on unplanned, spontaneous moments of genuine happiness rather than predictably posed portraits, you best capture the joy of the day. You excel at capturing memories in a manner that feels light and spontaneous yet simultaneously is elegantly polished and professional.

"You've captured moments that I will treasure for years to come."
