Lotus Photography

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse.

I was born in Washington DC and I have lived in Northern Virginia almost all my life. I love nature and art and exploring our gorgeous area for beautiful or off-the-beaten path spots that people often overlook. I cherish every part of the creative process, from scouting a location that reflects my clients' vision to the spontaneity of the shoot to learning which favorite images made a client tear up, or smile. I'm not satisfied until I have presented people with pictures they will treasure forever.
