Military Life Photography
Military life is gritty. It's filled with unknowns at times, and extreme joy at others, and an incredible sense of pride. It not only contains those moments others experience, like weddings and the birth of children, but it also has momentous days like promotions, deployments, changes of command, and the most emotion-filled homecomings. Commemorate every special moment in your military life that makes all of the unknowns worthwhile. Experience the difference of a professional photographer who is also a military spouse.

Ships, Flight Lines, and More

From the finish line of 12-mile ruck marches to time on the flight line or turning wrenches in the motor pool, I'd love to be invited to capture your story visually. From surprise homecomings for your little ones, FRG family days to unforgettable ship homecomings, no event is too big or too small.

Photographer for The National Archives
The National Archives is an exceptional venue. With its history and beauty, it's no wonder why this is a top choice for a photography backdrop for military photography sessions, especially. But, unfortunately, it isn't a space that every photographer can pull off well due to the inadequate lighting. Nevertheless, I have extensive experience photographing this venue and will capture your big moment in all of its grandeur.
