Hi, I'm Whitney.


I'm the wife of David Joseph, mama to two sweet babies and a four-legged fur baby, a Jesus lover and a washed up collegiate student-athlete (GO HOKIES). My family would also tell you that I have a goal of being a lifelong student or maybe just a lifelong Hokie as I have three degrees from Virginia Tech. I've never met something Pumpkin I didn't love and a macchiato or latte is my love language for life.


I’m your personal hype woman behind Whitney Showalter Photography, where capturing life’s most meaningful moments is more than just my job—it’s my joy. From growing families and milestone celebrations to quiet everyday moments you never want to forget, I love creating images that tell your story in a natural, authentic way. If that includes dogs, that's always a bonus!


Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and, when my daughter was born, I knew it was a calling to serve families, couples, and businesses with timeless images that will be cherished for generations. My goal is to make every session relaxed, fun, and true to who you are, so you can feel comfortable, genuine and confident in front of the camera.


Whether I’m photographing a giggling toddler who is running around singing nursery rhythms, a glowing senior, or the sweet connection between generations, I’m always looking for those real smiles, gentle details, and candid moments that showcase your unique story.


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, enjoying the beauty of Virginia seeking out the little everyday joys that inspire my work or cheering on my Hokies!


I can’t wait to meet you and help capture memories you’ll treasure forever.

Let's Tell Your Story


Whether you're welcoming a new member to the family, needing a corporate event covered to update your website or wanting to document a new milestone, I want to be part of your story! There's something about capturing a moment in time that is breath-taking and gives me all the feels. I'm a sucker for a genuine unstaged moment that captures the essence of your story. It's such an honor to be able to capture lasting images in time no matter the occasion.
