Welcome!

Welcome to my new venture! Shutter Girl was born as a result of a love affair with taking photos and a need to find a creative outlet. I have been interested in photography since I was very young and even dabbled a bit during college. I finally took a leap of faith and launched Shutter Girl Photography in August. I am hoping to create a small niche here in Virginia as a family and children's photographer who steps out of the "cookie cutter", mall photo, same old photography box. My hope is to be able to capture children in their element - at the beach, on the playground, in their own backyard - where they are the most happy and relaxed. I believe that I have an eye for capturing the spirit of my subjects and translating that spirit into a snapshot that families will treasure for years to come. So, follow me on my journey...
