philadelphia area photographer
chester county photography studio
Hello! I am based in Chester County, and I photograph portraits, weddings, and headshots in the Philadelphia tri-state area.
I began photographing professionally in 2000 and have taken photos of literally thousands of different kids and families, over 400 weddings, and hundreds of headshots.
My studio in Malvern is on gorgeous historic Chester County grounds, with 19th-century preserved structures including an old ruin, a white-washed wooden barn, stone walls, a general store, and acres of open outdoor space with tons of foliage.
The building is a fully restored 1800's home, with a winding staircase, four fireplaces, and gorgeous wood floors. There are two large camera rooms set up to photograph headshots, newborns, children, pets, and families on a wide array of backgrounds, as well as acres of land outside for seasonal photos.
You'll find me just a few minutes south of Malvern Borough, only about a 15-minute drive from downtown West Chester, the Paoli Train Station, Exton Mall, or Ridley Creek State Park. Center City, Philadelphia, is about 40 minutes without much traffic.
I'm a WPPI Certified Professional Photographer, which means that I've passed the Certification Exam and the Image and Business Materials Submission Review provided by WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) and the New York Institute of Photography.
To receive this certification, I've had to meet or exceed the standards for a trained professional photographer. This means that you can trust me to be able to document your important moments with not only technical expertise but empathy and professionalism as well.
Diversity and inclusion are important to me. No one will ever be turned away or treated differently because of race, religion, or sexual orientation. I celebrate everything that makes us different, as well as the traits that unify us. You will not be judged here.
Black Lives Matter. Love is love. No human is illegal. Kindness Matters.

Portraits can be created in my Chester County portrait studio or on-location. I photograph families large and small and have tons of backdrops indoors and acres of land outside to use.
Retouched prints, wall canvases, holiday cards, albums, and hi-res files are a few ways you can purchase your photos. Mini sessions are offered occasionally; follow my Facebook page for seasonal promotions and updates.
philadelphia wedding photographer
I've photographed more than 400 weddings in the Greater Philadelphia Area over the last 20 years, so you can rest assured I come with experience, tact, and talent.
All wedding collections include high-resolution digital files with no watermark. Custom-designed, handmade wedding albums are available in several different sizes and varieties.
Slideshows, prints, canvases, save-the-dates, and thank-you cards are also available. All prints and albums are made in the USA.

Top-quality, professional images without the hassle.
Perfect for business websites, LinkedIn profile photos, model/actor headshots, executive portraits, realtor headshots, resumés, or dating site profile photos.
My $175 headshot special includes a 30-minute studio session with one high-resolution, retouched digital file. Additional digital files are $50 each. Discounts are offered on a sliding scale for groups needing three or more individual headshots.
Group portraits of your staff or individual headshots for your entire team can be taken at your workplace, corporate event, or in my Malvern studio.
