Maryland Headshot, Boudoir and Portrait Photographer for DC and Area

MD | DC | Virginia

Hi there! I’m Lakesha Miner, the photographer and owner of Lakesha Miner Photography, based in Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.

At the age of 38, I made the decision to leave my 15-year career in Human Resources with the federal government to pursue my passion for entrepreneurship and photography full-time. It was one of the most empowering choices of my life, and it’s that same empowerment I strive to bring to every session with my clients.

As a proudly Black-owned and woman-owned small business, I’m dedicated to telling your unique story and capturing your legacy through the art of photography. I specialize in a modern and fresh approach to portraits, including:

Professional Headshots and Personal Branding, designed to elevate your professional presence and make you stand out.

The Boudoir Experience and Glamour Photoshoots, featuring Fab Over 40 sessions that celebrate confidence and beauty at every stage of life.

I strive to break down society's limited ideas of beauty. I know what it feels like to question your worth or focus on perceived imperfections—learning to embrace and love myself has been a journey of its own. That experience taught me to recognize the power and beauty we all carry, even when we don’t see it ourselves. My mission is to help you see and celebrate that within yourself, just as you are today. No need to wait for the “right” time—you’re already worthy of being celebrated.

Photography is more than just creating images for me; it’s a way to honor and uplift people in a meaningful way. These portraits will stand as a daily reminder of your strength, beauty, and resilience—a celebration of your story and everything that makes you unique.

Our session will be about more than just pictures. It’s a chance to step into your confidence, feel truly seen, and walk away with images that capture your essence and leave you feeling empowered. Together, we’ll create something you’ll treasure—a legacy of self-love and boldness to carry forward.

Whether you're in Maryland, Washington, D.C., or Virginia, I’m here to help you tell your story, celebrate your beauty, and create images that you’ll treasure forever.

Let’s make magic together!

Warmly,
Lakesha Miner
