Photography is the pause button of life

Shelley LarRabee

Owner, Lead Photographer

Hi! My name is Shelley Larrabee and I am a photographer specializing in High School Seniors, Modern Sport Portraits, and Family Portraits. My love for photography began at a young age and grew as I began documenting my children’s sports and activities throughout their childhood. In 2014, the hobby became a business as Shelley Larrabee Photography was established.

I love meeting new people and capturing special moments in their lives. My goal in photographing high school seniors is that you have a great time, love all your images and see yourself as the beautiful, unique person that you are.

Laura Desantis

Hair & Makeup

Ciao! My name is Laura De Santis. I’m a Middle School Health and PE teacher in Fairfax County. My husband and I live in Loudoun, and are new parents to our baby boy, Luca!

I was raised around art and photography which influenced my passion for hair and makeup. My mom is a professional artist, and my dad, a Naval photographer and owner of a printing company. With that, I was taught about facial structure, dimensions, lighting and color. I’ve been able to utilize these techniques and concepts when I apply makeup to clients.

For 15 years, I have done makeup for a variety of events: homecoming dances, Prom, YouTube tutorials, wedding parties, commercials and senior portraits.

I love being able to accentuate someone’s natural features. There’s no better feeling than making someone feel beautiful and confident!
