This is me: Blaire Elizabeth.

I’m a mom, wife, friend, and photographer in Northern Virginia.

I grew up on Long Island, NY, just around the corner from 2nd Ave - the street where my grandpa lived. He was the original family photographer, with a dark-room in his basement who taught me to shoot and develop film. That's where it all began: the spark that ignited my love for all things photography and where the name Second Ave Photography comes from.

Let's fast-forward to today. I've developed my life around working with young children, as a photographer and substitute elementary school teacher. They truly light up my world, and I believe that genuine enthusiasm makes all the difference. Bring me all your babies and toddlers and preschoolers - we're going to make some magic.

All of my photo sessions are a unique experience tailored to the individual family I am photographing. My dynamic nature allows me to effortlessly switch between heartwarming portraits and vibrant candids.

Professional photography is an investment you'll never regret. So, if you're searching for a photographer who can work some serious magic with kids, strives to achieve the perfect blend of creativity and authenticity, hand-edits every image with thoughtful attention-to-detail, knows their way around both the old-school and modern photography worlds, and offers a curated collection of premier products as well as digital files, then we just may be the perfect fit!
