Marie has been immersed in photography and photography education for more than 20 years and is passionate about sharing her knowledge about photography, cameras, and digital technology with others.
Whether she’s teaching photography, helping one better understand their camera, or “see” better compositions, she works to build one’s confidence and take away the intimidation and sense of overwhelming that often accompanies learning new things. She finds just the right way to take complicated concepts and explain them in a logical, easy-to-understand way.
Marie founded Capital Photography Center in January 2012 to help those with a love of photography grow their skills and reach their goals - be it to capture better snapshots or become a professional photographer. To this end, her company offers a wide variety of photography classes taught by professional photographers and renowned photographic educators, where amateurs, hobbyists, and professionals can learn about the areas of photography suited to their interests and experience level.
In addition to running her business and teaching, Marie finds time to enjoy her own photography and loves capturing people, both candid and posed, beautiful country landscapes, and dynamic cityscapes, both in daylight and at nighttime. Her travels have allowed her to photograph in Venice, Tuscany, London, New York, and various other locations in the United States.
Originally from Michigan, Marie has lived in Alexandria, Virginia (outside of Washington, DC) for the past 30 years with her husband.
