About
With years of experience as a photographer specializing in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia, I find immense joy in capturing the essence of family moments, the sweetness of newborns, the excitement of engagements, and the timeless beauty of weddings. Each frame tells a unique story, reflecting the love and connections that make each occasion memorable.
A little bit about who I am:
I'm happily married to an incredible man named Alex, and our love has brought us a precious daughter, Mia. Our little family is completed by our three furry companions: Geo, Kato, and Miles. I find joy in immersing myself in the soothing melodies of early 2000s R&B music, with an occasional country tune making its way into my playlist.

While Alina was our only vendor for our wedding she was the most amazing person to work with. We booked her for our engagement and wedding day. She is someone who loves what she does and you can 1000% tell. She keeps in perfect communication with you leading up to your event; helps with coordination and keeping everyone on track. She knows how to control a crowd and maintain the vision of the bride and groom. She made me feel beautiful and hyped me up the entire time. She helps with posing if you’re someone who has no idea what you’re doing - like me. If you have any thought of booking her DO IT. I can’t wait to see our full wedding day.
Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Natural or environmental • Artful composition and lighting • Traditional posed • Candid • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

My partner and I had photos done by Alina twice now and have loved both experiences. The first was when my (now Fianc) planned with Alina for a surprise photoshoot when he proposed and she was very accommodating, communicative & brought so much joy and excitement to the day. We received the photos literally in 10 hours and it captured the perfect proposal just how we wanted! We then went to the national cathedral for an engagement photoshoot where Alina captured the perfect save the date photo and allowed us to be our natural selves in front of the camera while also guiding us through poses. I would highly recommend Alina for all of your photos needs and I will cherish these beautiful photos forever.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
01. Conversation
We will establish a conversation that will help me to understand more and get a better picture of your needs and desires.
02. Project
From establishing the poses to the wardrobe and finally the locations. I would like to make sure that our pre-shooting session goes smoothly for the actual photoshoot date to be successful. That way you will walk away happy with being able to get all the poses you want.
03. Delivery
Delivering the online gallery usually takes between 1-2 days. You'll receive the gallery via e-mail. No watermarks will be on it, why? Because you already paid for it! No catch.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My deep-rooted passion for photography is a gift passed down through my father's lineage. My grandparents founded a thriving photography business in Vietnam, which provided the main source of livelihood for our family during my upbringing. Witnessing the artistic talents of my family come to life in the photographs they captured, and the radiant smiles on our customers' faces, was nothing short of amazing. Which now led me to pursue the same career path! Our family has been in the business since 1996!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with all types of customers. From LGBTQ+ couples to interracial. I've done maternity shoot, newborn, engagement, and elopements. Please view my portfolio on my website.
