Marie is a full-time motherhood photographer based out of the Washington, DC area and is a lover of all things romantic and ethereal (probably from watching Disney princess movies growing up!).
She channels this whimsical identity into her motherhood work and is proud to fully serve her clients with heirloom artwork so they can enjoy their images for many years to come.
When she's not photographing, she loves traveling with her family, chasing after her three (very) energetic young children, or cozying up to rewatch Disney princess movies with her daughters - passing on the magic, one tiara at a time...
