I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Veronica Jackson—an inspiring leader, educator, and artist. She serves as President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Zeta Chi Omega Chapter, and is an award-winning Orchestra Director at Alexandria City High School (ACHS) in Virginia.

What a fun Sweet 16 photoshoot for Peyton! ✨
Photographer’s note: winter weather and next-day balloons don’t always mix—but creative pivots can turn into beautiful moments. The softened balloons added the perfect touch to the set.

Wishing Peyton a year filled with confidence, joy, and unforgettable memories as she embraces her teen years. 💕

Photoshoot with my college sis ✨ Faye Jones Majette — we go all the way back to our VCU Johnson Hall days! 🤍 The laughs, the memories… and yes, the friendly grief she used to give me 😂 Still looking fabulous, Faye — and always such a joy to work with.
Golden life, golden friendship ✨

Revisiting a favorite portrait session with my former co-worker, Albee. The rich fall colors in this photo still inspire me. 🍁 I’ve been experimenting with AI animation to breathe new life into classic images and seeing her subtly fan herself feels like capturing a moment between seasons.
