PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DISTINCTIVE WINERIES
Visual Narratives for Virginia Wineries + Labels
I specialize in branding photography for Virginia wineries that want more than generic bottle shots. From historic vineyards in Loudoun County to dynamic, female-led labels in Charlottesville, I partner with boutique and family-owned wineries to create intentional, high-impact imagery that tells your story and elevates your brand.
My journey into winery photography began behind the bar, pouring at three local vineyards and falling in love with the way a single glass of wine can slow time, spark connection, and capture a season. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, seasonality, and heart that go into every bottle — and it's what drives my passion for supporting small and family-run wineries with visuals that resonate deeply.
You're not just selling wine — you're offering an experience, a story, a sense of place. In a saturated market, your visuals are your first impression. From crisp bottle shots to styled seasonal storytelling, I create photography that reflects your terroir, your tasting-room experience, and the table your wine belongs on — so your customers can’t wait to pour a glass
I’m ready to help you create a visually powerful library that tells the story of your wine, are you?

"Branding photos aren’t that important, we rely on customer shared social media imagery."
Absolutely — user-generated content (UGC) is such a valuable part of building community and authenticity, and it’s great that your customers are actively sharing their experiences. But it’s important to think of professional branding photography as a strategic foundation, not a replacement for that organic content — the two work best together!
Here’s how professional imagery supports what you’re already doing — and fills the gaps that UGC simply can’t cover:

Consistency + Control
High-Impact Visuals
for High-Stakes Uses
Customer content is spontaneous — which is great! But it’s not always styled, seasonal, or aligned with your brand vision. You need professional images to anchor your website, socials and press kits, ensuring your bottles, labels, and tasting room are presented at their best.
Photos shared by customers likely won’t meet the brand standards needed for:
•Wine Club Promotions
•New Label or Vintage Launches
•E-commerce Listings (where clarity = conversions)
•Retail/Wholesale Marketing Decks
•Holiday Campaigns + Gift Guides
This is where I come in. So yes — keep embracing the love your customers are sharing! But let’s pair that authenticity with strategy by building a professional image library you can pull from all year long. You’ll have visuals that match your quality, reflect your story, and make you stand out — in the tasting room and online.
