Call Me Viv!
I'm a Baltimore-based photographer.
I left my corporate photography job to pursue my dream career of portrait and wedding photography.
I've always been drawn to moody and dramatic portraits, and have always been inspired by magazines like Vogue and Nylon.
I picked up my first camera at 13 and never stopped taking photos, it's my passion!
Get To Know Me
Where I'm From:
I grew up in Gaithersburg, MD and currently live in Baltimore, MD. I come from a big Italian family, half of which lives here and the other half is back in Italy. Traveling there throughout my childhood has always been an inspiration in my photography.
How I Got Into Photography:
My dad has always been my biggest role model. Anything he was into, I was also into. It started with music and then grew into being interested in his hobby of photography. My dad has always been into nature photography, but I quickly became passionate about taking photos of people. A few of my first memories relating to photography are taking photos in nature with my dad, stealing his equipment, and having my friends model for me.
My Biggest Goal In Life Is:
To have clients hire me to style and create a unique photography experience. Also, to be a part-time destination wedding photographer (specifically in Italy). Ok, and one more... I really want to have a goat farm.
The Loves Of My Life Are:
My husband Josh, and our kitten Tybalt. He is literally my life... Tybalt I mean.
My Favorite Italian Dish Is:
Bucatini all'amatriciana. So...so good. I also can't forget about my Nonna's fried zucchini flowers.
I Have Many Different Hobbies:
I love traveling, hiking, cooking yummy meals, and spending time with friends and family. I am a HUGE history buff, the pantheon is one of my favorite places to go.
I love being creative in ways other than photography. I play instruments like the violin and bass guitar. I also crochet and plan on creating a line of crocheted lingerie for my boudoir closet.
Something People Don't Really Know About Me:
I absolutely hate roller coasters or any rides that drop, but give me any scary movie or freaky haunted house to go through and I am game.
My Top 5 Artists On My Spotify Wrapped In 2023 Were:
Måneskin, Doja Cat, Amyll & The Sniffers, SZA, and The Smiths.
The Top 3 Places I Want To Travel To Next Are:
I love traveling, and have been to 14 different countries so far! The next I'm dying to go to are South Korea, Japan, and Croatia.
