Hi. My name is Didi, and I take photos.

When I was a kid in Massachusetts, I spent a lot of time waiting at places. Events, museums, the Essex County courthouse, Revolutionary War monuments, cemeteries (lots and lots of cemeteries)…and I always noticed the photographers. When I was older, my brother taught me the basics with a Canon single-lens reflex while he was expanding his own knowledge into creative and historical methods of film developing.

In 2002, my brother Andre accompanied me to the little photography shop in downtown Paducah, KY to help me choose the right equipment to shoot my first big paid photography project. While I almost always have a Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot in my bag (despite an affinity for my iPhone), a few years back I decided to honor my brother’s memory by purposefully going out into the world armed with a digital camera and our shared curiosity. During the Covid-19 pandemic’s early days, I wandered my silent city with a 75-300 zoom lens and a Canon 6D Mark II. I took pictures of everything. Now, I shoot some events and some people, but never weddings (ever. Sorry.) I take commissions, and I shoot to support candidates and initiatives I believe in. And I adore photographing my pets. But don’t we all?

Your imperfections do not shock me, for I see myself with so many.

We can shoot your portraits in your home, any local park or attraction, or in my studio. Just so you know, my studio is quite loud with the opinions of my dogs and parrots.
