WELCOME TO ROGER HAMMONS PHOTOGRAPHY

Deeply seen, deeply felt, deeply remembered.

 

We are a boutique Northern Virginia photography studio located in Ashburn, Virginia, specializing in wedding photography, portrait photography, and fine art photography.

We love to photograph Maryland weddings, Virginia weddings, and DC weddings of all traditions!  Whether yours is an opposite-sex marriage or a same-sex marriage, we'd love to get to know you and your unique love story.  And, however you and your family decide to celebrate two lives passionately shared -- religious or secular, traditional or avant garde, western or non-western -- we would be honored to capture those memories in wedding photographs that are deeply seen, deeply felt, and deeply remembered.

We provide commercial and lifestyle portrait sessions in our Loudoun County, Virginia studio or on-location within the greater Washington DC metropolitan area, including Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

We provide engagement photography sessions for MD VA DC wedding couples, whether we do the wedding photography or not.  These unique sessions are great fun, especially when the location and theme are tailored to the couple's love story.

Please enjoy my wedding photography, portrait photography, and fine art photography blog!  I hope you find the eclectic diversity of images -- as well as my thoughts on their design and creation -- both entertaining and educational.

One of the easiest places to photograph people is in open shade. Open shade is mellow, easy-going, "do-your-own-thing" light. It is usually soft and relatively even, so you don't have to worry abo...

GROW HAPPY! In my "Watch Me Grow!" Baby Portrait Series, the four-month-old session is devoted to baby's happy, funny, silly, shy, curious faces. By four months, the baby can lift her head and smile at her parents. She has a repertoire of expressive faces that are delightful to capture in portraits. I like a clean, simple set to showcase the baby...

At four months of age, a baby can smile for her pare...

SWEET DREAMS For Hailey's 4-month session, I wanted to create a sleeping baby portrait with a languid, Renaissance feel. After we finished the first part of the session -- which showcased Hailey's newfound ability to lift her head and engage the people all around her -- her mommy nursed her, and the baby fell fast asleep. I fashioned a comfy bed...
