Photography has been a part of my life since childhood when I received a Vivitar 110 point-and-shoot camera one Christmas. I can still remember the excitement of dropping off film at the local drugstore and the anticipation of seeing the final prints—sometimes joyful, sometimes surprising, and occasionally a little disappointing. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for capturing memories and telling stories through photography.
My name is Wendy, and I am a photographer based in Yorktown, Virginia. As a proud military spouse of over 20 years and a mom to three amazing kids, I’ve lived a life full of adventure and cherished moments. Growing up on a blueberry farm in Western New York taught me the value of perseverance, creativity, and appreciating life’s simple joys. After earning a Master’s degree in Counseling from Regent University in 2003, I spent several years as a school guidance counselor before dedicating my time to raising my family.
Travel has been a cornerstone of my life. I've visited 29 countries and lived in England, Belgium, and Japan, all of which have profoundly influenced my perspective and creative vision. Whether exploring new cultures or documenting the everyday beauty around me, my camera has always been by my side.
What began as a way to document my children’s growth and our family’s travels evolved into an exciting photography business. Through years of practice, professional training, mentorships, and the unwavering support of friends and family, I turned my passion into a career.
I specialize in family photography and portraiture, blending my classic style with a storytelling approach to create images that are both genuine and timeless. My sessions are relaxed and enjoyable because I believe the best photos happen when everyone feels at ease. It’s my mission to deliver images that spark joy, preserve precious memories, and bring smiles for years to come.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spoiling my two cats and sweet doodle dog, planning my next adventure, or simply enjoying time with my family. With a blend of dedication, humor, and an eye for authenticity, I strive to create meaningful connections and unforgettable photographs for every client I have the privilege to serve.
