Color Magic Light creates portrait photography in Northern Virginia. We specialize in authentic, timeless, genuine images that capture the light of who you are — and who you hope to be.

Honesty isn’t just for tax returns or too much change. It flows through every aspect of life — even photography.

Expressions, poses, and settings can be forced, contrived, stiff. The resulting photographs exude force, stiffness, contrivance.

Hmmm, the viewer thinks; what’s behind that mask?

But natural expressions coaxed through comfort in front of the camera, elicited with an unhurried approach, bring images that emanate your essence — your light, your truth, your energy.

What’s your story ? Your heartache ? Your triumph ?

Let these things glitter through your photographs.

Our professional headshots, personal portraits, and brand photographs, shot in Northern Virginia, are all used for different things.

But, in the end, they fulfill the same purpose: to tell the ongoing story of who you are, who you were, and who you hope to be.
