Hi, I'm Hope
Serving MAryland & beyond
My work is vibrant and emotionally grounded; rich in contrast, bold in tone, and human centered. I capture fleeting, emotional moments through atmospheric details that feel intimate and documentary driven. My style is rich, natural, emotion focused, and story driven.
Born and raised in Columbia, Maryland, I earned my Bachelors in General Fine Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2014. I've been photographing professionally since 2018 and haven't looked back since. Simultaneous to freelance, for over ten years, I've worked as a Creative Services Manager at the University of Maryland. Functioning like a mini marketing agency, I mentor and employ a staff of student photographers, videographers, and graphic designers.
Outside of UMD, I capture weddings and everything else. I take pride in not owning a niche subject.

Kind words from
