Your story deserves to shine

You’ve got a moment to capture. A headshot that lands the job, branding images that grow your business, or a portrait that celebrates who you are. But where to start? That’s the tricky part. Welcome to VSD Photography in Alexandria, Virginia. Whether you’re a Northern VA entrepreneur or a D.C. dreamer, my team is here to make your vision come alive.

You want photos that feel like you

You’ve probably felt it: the stress of stiff poses, generic shots, or images that miss the mark. You need photos that show your confidence, tell your brand’s story, or freeze a memory just right—without the awkwardness. That’s where I step in. As your Alexandria, VA photography guide, I ditch the one-size-fits-all approach to give you a session that’s as unique as you are.

Your path to standout images

Picture this: a relaxed shoot tailored to your life—whether it’s a headshot in Old Town, branding for your Arlington startup, or portraits anywhere in the DMV. I have a beautiful and inspiring studio to work in. Or I travel to you in your desired setting.

Each custom session includes wardrobe styling guidance, hair and makeup, and expert posing direction. The pampering begins the minute we begin to discuss your goals.

We set up the perfect vibe, turning your ideas into visuals that work. You’ll walk away with photos that fit your goals, not someone else’s playbook. And you will have had a blast in the process.

I'm your partner in this adventure

With years of experience across Northern Virginia, I’ve helped hundreds of men and women like you—Del Ray families, D.C. pros, NoVA creatives—shine in front of the lens. My job? To make you comfortable and deliver images you’ll be truly proud of. I’m here to help you step up your game.

I had a couple of sessions with Vicki and I feel hands-down that she is the best photographer I have ever dealt with! She works so well with people. She knows just the right angles and just the right positioning in her photography as well as perfect timing of the right light needed in photos. It was nothing but a positive experience and I highly recommend her. She put all of my needs first before her own and it was overall an outstanding experience!

Vicki did an amazing job working with our 75 employees taking "head Shots" for our up-coming 70th Year in Business pictures. She was extremely efficient, friendly and even found ways to get the guys to smile when they said "getting a shot at the doctor is better then getting my picture taken". The finished product was exactly what I wanted !!

I always felt stiff and unnatural having formal photos taken. Vicki made it so comfortable and fun! My pictures turned out beautifully. I am proud to let people see them.

Vicki was wonderful to work with and very professional. She made sure the session was very comfortable and that I enjoyed the experience. Vicki's makeup artist was also sweet and did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend Vicki's services if you are a young female professional.

I was looking for a range of uses for new personal photos - headshot formal, casual, and then more casual to use with profiles. VSD Photography was accommodating, flexible and organized. Vicki toured my neighborhood, and I was provided a draft script to review, and then we did the shoot. My experience is Vicki made the shoot fun and creative. The resulting photos were fantastic, and I looked good!

Vicki was the most AMAZING photographer I've ever worked with. We initially booked her for our daughter's senior portraits and loved the photos so much that we booked her again for our daughter's college announcement portraits! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, and the final results were beyond our expectations. Vicki's professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. She took the time to understand our daughter's vision and personality, and it truly showed in the photographs. Vicki made the entire session fun and enjoyable.
