Welcome to Nelson-Rietzke Photography!

We are Steve Rietzke and Katy Nelson...

...husband and wife creative team. We focus primarily on creative family portraits, professional headshots and portraiture, and events in Washington, DC, northern Virginia, and Maryland. We are passionate about making photographs that capture the character, joy, and humor of our subjects. For all of our clients, our goal is to create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to put you at ease and allow your personality to shine in your photographs. We strive to make luminous and colorful images and richly textured black and white photographs using a mix of natural light and flash.

Whether you are looking for documentary-style family portraits that show off your beautiful children to their grandparents, environmental portraits to add poise and polish to your personal or professional online presence, or simple headshots to use for auditions, drop us a line and we would be delighted to be part of your creative process.
