THe Journey
Hey, I’m Debbie.
A mom of three, a Navy wife, a daughter, sister, friend, photographer, and website designer. I wear a lot of hats, but at the core, I’m still the same 80s music lover and murder mystery fan who always has a coffee nearby and a playlist on repeat.
This space is just a little window into who I am and what I love—so you can get to know the woman who will be there documenting your wedding day.

my personal style
"i'm just a girl" - No Doubt
My second home is the beach. The ocean, the waves, the sounds, the sand, the wind, sun. Everything about it brings me peace and joy. It's what makes me feel alive!
Family - Nothing can take the place of the people I love. The peace and joy I feel with knowing God has blessed me with amazing family, and friends, is truly inspiring and not taken for granted.
WONDER WOMAN
I like to fancy myself as Wonder Woman because I TOTALLY ROCK! Being a mom (which is technically about a zillion jobs in one) I am tasked with being there for others. I love helping, and I love being a point of sensibility and focus for others who may have things a little jumbled up. That is what my calling is, a helper. And that's what I do!
Likes
Beach walks for clarity, coffee (a lot), 70's + 80's music for my adhd, home cooked meals, time with fam + friends, hiking, traveling, designing website templates, mentoring beginner photographers
Dislikes
Those with no moral compass, really hot hot days, slow drivers (bit of a road rager at times), large crowds, non-seasoned foods!

Based in Virginia and serving Northern Virginia and beyond, I photograph weddings using a mix of editorial and documentary styles. My approach is calm, collaborative, and easygoing. I help you stay present throughout the day while we create images that feel real, beautiful, and full of meaning.
