About Me

Welcome to my corner of the world.

I’m Quinn — mother to my greatest joy, Naomi — and the artist behind The Velvet Hour Photography. I’m an army brat with a deep love for music, a pho enthusiast, a holistic soul, and a lifelong observer of human connection. By fate, divine intervention, or pure devotion to craft, I am a self-taught photographer serving the DMV.

With over sixteen years of professional experience — including more than a decade in the wedding industry — I have built my work around one belief:

Love is in the details.

With a soulful, photojournalistic approach, my work is less about performance and more about presence — the stillness before a vow, the soft exhale after “I do,” the way hands find one another without thinking. Photography, for me, is both art and service. It allows me to witness sacred moments and preserve them with care, intention, and professionalism.
