Musician

Chelsea is an opera singer and fashionista based out of Northern Virginia, and she is the most fun to be with! Chelsea came in with a vision and such positive (with an appropriate hint of diva) energy. I LOVED our session at Lair, the Studio in Falls Church!

Awhile ago, harpist extrordonaire Nadia Pessoa asked me if I had heard of Kap2ure Film Studios at Crown Industrial Park in Baltimore because she thought it would be right up my alley and oooh my goodness was she correct!! So last month I took the plunge, rented the studio for a day, and had 5 amazing artist clients out to play… and I’m just already itching to go back.

As a musician (Me! Hi, I’m a professional flutist and piccolo player as well), it is always a joy to work with fellow musicians to revamp their portraits to represent who they are NOW, cause 9/10 the last time they had portraits taken was during undergrad or grad school

Savannah reached out about updating portraits before a big life change- moving from the DC area to California!! We talked about a musicians tendency to do ONLY that, and how we feel differently about the matter. We chatted making big changes and pivoting with your life goals and how that doesn’t Actually diminish your success although we (musicians) have trained our whole lives to feel that way. So basically, just your standard portrait session meets deep philosophical convergence- it is TOTALLY normal, y’all
