Welcome to Takoma Park, Maryland!

I'm so excited! Giselle and I bought a beautiful house in LGBT-friendly Takoma Park. Now that renovations to my photo studio are complete, my business is officially located at our new home! We are just a mile from restaurants, shopping, and a Red line Metro stop in downtown Takoma Park. There's plentiful, free parking in front of our house.

My new photo studio will continue to feature seamless backgrounds and strobes for a traditional studio look. For environmental portraits, we can shoot in my yard or in the house. I'll continue to have a designated "fantasy area" equipped with club lights and custom-designed furniture.
