Hi! I'm Joey, and I'd love to tell your story.

I'm a former teacher, now full-time senior and family portrait photographer specializing in timeless, cinematic, creative portraits. My work centers around capturing milestones on camera; the most meaningful photos are the ones that are era-defining when you look back at them -- that's what drives me.

Come learn about me, then reach out and tell me about you. Let's get to know each other!

Testimonials

The Williams Family

A happy family enjoying quality time together while standing on rocks near a stream in a wooded forest setting in Rockville, MD.

Joey is an amazingly talented photographer. He really knows how to capture beauty in his shoots. Working with him was so much fun. He was professional, the scope of the project was clearly outlined in a contract, and he was very punctual the day of the shoot and with deliverables afterwards. Joey was patient with me as this was my first photoshoot so he was very transparent about the process. Absolutely will work with him again!
