welcome to funkhouse photography

I am Robin and I’m a professional photographer based in Gaithersburg, MD and serving Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland, as well as destinations worldwide. My goal is to capture real emotions, loving relationships, and authentic connections.

hi, i’m your photographer robin

Three of my great passions in life are family, travel, and photography. My love for photography has been life long and grew exponentially once I became a mom- twice in one year! I wished to capture my children in the moment and tell the story of their childhood through photography. And now I find absolute joy in working with individuals and families to help them tell their own life stories- couples, families, newborns and children. My goal is to capture real emotions, loving relationships, and authentic connections. With over a thousand custom photography sessions under my belt, I am able to confidently guide you through your experience and deliver the highest quality images and memories.

CLIENT LOVE

"We have received so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. This is our second time using Funkhouse Photography and I am always so impressed with how many great pictures we get for such a reasonable price. This year, Robin was able to get my 18month old to smile which was no small feat. She had so much patience and had great ideas on how to position my family for the best shots. My kids are small, so she really took some additional time to ease them into position. We had to reschedule our shoot time a few times and she was great about staying connected and had multiple time slots that worked for our family. Another thing I love about Funkhouse Photography is that she has so many photo package options available so that we are able to choose one that fits within our budget. Robin is great to work with and I look forward to our next photo session."

"Robin is a totally amazing family photographer. We have done 4 sessions with her and she is always able to capture us so well. She is exceptional with getting even the most reluctant kiddo to engage and smile naturally. We are always so happy with our experience. We have done a session at the Glen Echo carousel, a St Patrick’s Day session at her garage studio, a newborn session in our home and now a Santa mini session. Take my advice and have a session with Robin, and seriously, just buy the gallery in advance if it’s available at a discount, you won’t regret it!"

"I just had my maternity photoshoot with Robin, and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. I knew I wanted to include my dog in the photos, and she knew exactly what to do in order to get the perfect photos with her! She helped to instruct me and my husband on how to get the perfect poses, knew the most gorgeous spots to take photos, and was incredibly professional and personable. She also exceeded my expectations for how quickly she finished the proofs (literally the following day!). I have booked her for my newborn photoshoot as well in a couple months and cannot wait for that session as well."

-Jennifer C.
"Robin is an amazing photographer! We used her for my 1 year old son’s cake smash and the pictures turned out phenomenal. I love them all and they look amazing! She is very accommodating and flexible, and the pictures came back to us so quickly. I would highly recommend her and we definitely plan on using her again!"

-Nicole A.
"I've had the pleasure of working with Robin twice this year. I reached out to her for headshots earlier in the year. She was super responsive and flexible, even with my last minute request. She has a way of putting you at ease so that you can be your best self in the photos. I loved my photos so much I booked her in the fall for outdoor family photos. She was great with the bigger group and made my kids laugh and giggle and captured great smiles :) And she sent me proofs within a couple days! So great process, experience and results all around."

-Susie C.
"We have worked with Robin at Funkhouse Photography for several years now. We’ve tried other photographers but always come back to Robin. Her pictures are rich with color and energy! You can feel the joy when looking at her shots! I could not recommend her more!!"

-Dawn L.
"Robin did a FABULOUS job with newborn pictures of my son. I spent countless hours researching a photographer whose style I liked and also someone with whom I would feel comfortable handling my newborn baby, and she did NOT disappoint! She has a few package options, and we decided to select the 3 hour newborn session (which includes numerous props and swaddles - Robin is a swaddle guru!), which I highly recommend. It sounds like a long time, but it allowed time for me to periodically calm my son if he got fussy. Robin worked many small miracles that morning with posing my son and also my dog, which is no small feat! My husband and I are absolutely in love with the finished product. These will forever be some of my most treasured pictures!"

-Katie B.
"Robin shot my son's high school graduation photos and they turned out *AMAZING* - she worked with us to find a unique setting that was really meaningful to my son, and then took time there to find settings there were so perfect, and looked great on camera. She was also outstanding at bringing out his personality and capturing it perfectly. We were extremely happy with the photos, and he was very excited and proud of them. I absolutely, positively, highly and unreservedly recommend Funkhouse Photography."

-Brad G.
"Robin is a highly talented photographer who is great with people and especially with kids! She has a knack for making everyone feel at ease and have fun, and the results are beautiful. Robin is also very professional, with a clear and easy booking process, variety of locations and sets, and even a helpful style guide. Cannot recommend Funkhouse Photography enough!"
