About This Vendor
PYOB- Photograph Your Own Beauty
I am a photojournalistic wedding/humanitarian photographer based in DMV area. I truly love photography, and love that I was able to make it into a profession. It's so special to continuously be a part of my clients happiest day. My photography style is very vibrant. The most important aspect to me is capturing spontaneous moments, versus staged poses. I like very natural, candid photos. I am constantly searching for the big, and little moments, that I know will be treasured afterwords.
