Introduction: I love to connect with everyone I photograph, I aim to capture an emotion in the moment and give you photos you will cherish. As long as I can remember, I have loved taking photos and the art of capturing a moment in time. My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Nature and art inspire me and I regularly explore the DMV area looking for non traditionally beautiful or off-the-beaten path spots that can be overlooked. I love meeting and connecting with people, and I always have fun with my sessions. It's an amazing gift to me that photography gives me the opportunity to create art. It's possibilities are endless and all around us in everyday life, even in little things. I incorporate light and landscape to help create memorable photos. My aim is to give you pictures you will treasure forever!

Lotus Photography is an excellent company! Both Georgette & her husband Steve are super friendly. In fact, I felt like they were more like family! They are very professional as well. The pictures & videos were of excellent quality- I could not have asked for them to have done a better job. I highly recommend them! I will be using them in the future as well! Do not hesitate to go for this wonderful couple if you need a photographer or videographer.

Georgette was a pleasure to work with for my wedding on Jun 18! We had a limited window of time to work together - she hustled while maintaining her super high quality work. She was very responsive throughout the planning process, arrived early to our first photo site and was energetic and enthusiastic the entire time. We received photo previews just a few days after our wedding, and I'm very happy with how they are looking. I plan on planning another event in the Northern VA area so I can hire her again in the future!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive

From the beginning until the end, Georgette was fantastic to work with. My Fiance and I do not live in the same home - or in the same state. Coordinating between schedules and work, it can be difficult to get together. What was important to find in a photographer was reliability and availability. In looking for an engagement photographer I wanted someone laid back yet professional and someone who was open to being creative and fun while working. Georgette was swift to respond and coordinated with me to discover what Adam and I were hoping to capture; my main focus, was "us" and who we are to the core. Capture this she did and I am truly thankful that Georgette was openminded to shooting in a variety of locations, but not get caught up in a cookie cutter photography session. We took our photos in Georgetown [DC] and when I mentioned I wanted to try some shots on the stairs featured in the Exorcist, she did not shy away from the idea, rather encouraged it. We had time to change outfits to a more casual "us" after the first hour and I was thankful for the patience and encouragement. It is official, my fiance and I now have photos with us in them together - something that we have been lacking just due to our lives and where they have taken us. Thank you so much, Georgette, for helping us create moments together and kickstarting our marriage journey! Best, Samantha and Adam

Georgette from Lotus Photography knocked it out of the park. She helped me plan a surprise prodigal to my now fiancée, and her skill and vision made the day so memorable. From planning the surprise and staging photos, she spent made the most of her time with us around the site location to get the absolute best photos. 10/10 recommend to everyone. Thank you again, Georgette!
