MORE ABOUT US
Hi,
I'm Gina.
Thank you for visiting this space.
Here's a little bit about my story:
I picked up a camera, the kind with a mirror inside with lots of buttons, eight years ago.
I've always loved playing with cameras, though. When I was little, I would "pose" with my sister, our stuffed animals, and neighborhood friends for photoshoots on a disposable camera.
Since becoming a "professional", I've captured intimate weddings and elopements and from there expanded to styled shoots and branding content. Fate? found me in the delivery room of a 24-hour health clinic where I witnessed and helped deliver newborns in Haiti.
My mission became:
The meaning of photographs became more meaningful to me.
Photographs freeze & preserve moments -- moments that happen so quickly. It's magic getting to capture something so fleeting.
The humanitarian work in Haiti allowed me to bridge work that is being done there to it's financial donors in the States. Those people get to see through photographs, the impact they're making.
I am a bridge for my everyday clients, too. I’m documenting history. I desire my photographs be passed to future generations in the most meaningful way they can.
I want to:
Help tell your story.
Romanticize the present.
Feel and learn with you.
Create new parts of your story through photographs.
And provide confidence you've maybe never felt.
I want to promote nostalgia,
and allow you to relive a part of your life you might otherwise forget.
I'm glad you're here.
I'd love to know you.

"Just thinking of all the sweet moments in our lives that you captured could genuinely bring me to tears. You have become a part of my little love story by capturing so many of our special moments that we will never forget. Your eye lets us relive these moments and we will forever be thankful. More than just our photographer, but also our friend. Your passion for love and genuine connection shows through your work which is what makes you so unique. You've taught me that it's more than just posing, which is important too, but also the precious moments in-between. You're so talented, so creative and just such a beautiful soul. We're thankful for you in so many ways. See you in Greece, sweet friend."

“Gina,
Nick and I feel so blessed that our path has led us to friendship and photography with you. We have immense gratitude for your intentionality in the photographic process and appreciate your genuine thoughtfulness and care at all stages. You transformed something that can be daunting (family photos with our littles) into a beautiful journey full of laughter while capturing memories we will delight in for eternity. From seeking input regarding our vision, providing suggestions for possible locations to shoot, sharing vision boards and providing outfit suggestions, to greeting us at the shoot with a set-up more gorgeous than we could have dreamed, perfectly capturing the essence of our family, and ultimately delivering photos that moved us to laughter and tears - you were the perfect guide. When fate brought us an impromptu photo shoot at the salt flats, your quiet direction pushed me past insecurity to a calm, vulnerable place of beauty and confidence – a memory and a feeling that is deeply cherished and won’t soon be forgotten. You have a true gift, G - a light - a soft way of listening, observing, and understanding others with patience and grace - of seeing and capturing beauty that others miss or can’t quite see with unmatched authenticity and depth. Thank you for sharing your passion and talent with us, for always loving us where we are, and for teaching me to delight in the stillness. We are so grateful to walk this road with you – can’t wait to do it again <3.”

“As someone who never in a million years thought she’d have maternity pictures taken, I can say with confidence that Gina completely changed my mind-set; making me wish I had done them with my first. These pictures were by far the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever seen. And I cannot believe that I was the subject! Her attention to detail is impeccable. From an in depth and perfectly designed ‘what to expect’ booklet, to coaching during the session, Gina’s artistic eye is something special.”

“The moments in between “poses” are often overlooked or discarded. These moments are what you capture best. Whether it’s sweet little Winston wandering curiously into our photoshoot or throwing sandbags around in a dress, your photos tell my story. You create a unique experience that feels comfortable and honest. I’m thankful for your talent and thoughtful work.”

Dearest Gina,
Haiti, and particularly the ServeHAITI clinic, where everyday people who live and work there are heroes, is a Sacred Space. As much as their stories need to be told, it's always somewhat difficult for me to bring people from the States there for the first time. Exploitation is one of my biggest fears. You came young and wide eyed to this place, and you met people where they were. In the midst of life, death, pain, sorrow and joy, you found a way to capture those moments while upholding your integrity and preserving their dignity.
Your photos are all at once haunting, beautiful, evocative and enlightening. I will always be grateful to you for sharing your gift with us.
Love,
Liz McDermott
I've never really been the type to want my picture taken so I was unsure about doing newborn pictures with my daughter when it's obviously a time that I wasn't feeling the most comfortable in my body. As soon as we walked into Gina's studio and met her I knew we were going to have a wonderful time. She has such a calm, warm soul and was so understanding and patient with my daughter's newborn temperament. I fell in love with the pictures we took that day. We've come full circle with Gina with all of the family, maternity, and now more newborn pictures she's taken for us. <3

Inquiry Note:
I'm going to be honest, the reason I haven't done a maternity shoot previously is because of insecurities with my changing appearance. I truly think it is a beautiful season and the female form is incredible...for others lol. I struggle to see the beauty in mine. I'm hoping photos will help reframe that perception. I think your portfolio is magical and you seem like the right person to help accomplish that! I love your (seemingly) effortless/romantic style.
Post Session Note:
I will be forever thankful for you and how you captured my last pregnancy. I wish I would have done photos for all of them, but I"m glad I found courage for at least one. I think if I had saw your work earlier, I probably would have. You are a true artist. The care that you put into every detail shows! It was wonderful to work with you, and I also hope you are well. I'm still trying to find myself in the beautiful, but all encompassing, sea of motherhood. Once I do, I will reach out to you for another session. Maybe family. But maybe just for me and a reclaiming identity. Probably both. <3

Gina is amazing! She has captured some of the most important moments of my life and I'm so thankful I have the most perfect images to have as forever keepsakes. There's just something about Gina's style that is seamlessly timeless and sentimental. She is a story teller and has the perfect, artistic eye for photography. I highly recommend Gina and will absolutely book with her again.

It’s hard to put into words just how grateful I am that Gina took my maternity photos- I had a rough pregnancy, so moments that I felt the “pregnancy glow” were rare! I was also worried that with being really far along in my pregnancy, the photos might not turn out how I’d like! Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about because Gina’s calm, confident energy and creative eye are next level and my pictures turned out way better than I could have dreamed. She made me feel so confident, and I truly felt beautiful the entire session. I’m still so in awe of her work, and can’t recommend her enough!

A bright soul with such authentic talent and style- Gina is a true gem. From family photos, to new born fresh 48, and all of life’s happenings in between, the perspective that Gina brings is special. The photos she captures are absolutely timeless, and the sessions we’ve had with her will serve as staple memories for our family. I could not be more thankful to have crossed paths with such a beautiful human being, whom of which just so happens to be my go-to keepsake creator.

"Gina brought such a sweet, calming presence to our day, as well as her amazing attention to detail. She captured detailed moments and hidden angels that we now get to reminisce on daily. She placed a sense of compassion into every shot she captured, which I find is rare to find encompassed within a photographer. Not only has she provided us captured memories in excellent quality - she also brought a presence of genuine kindness and generosity to our day that I will treasure forever. I will recommend her over and over to anyone searching for an amazing photography experience."
