LET'S TELL YOUR
Story
Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. You, your story, your life, are beautiful and I can't wait to capture it all in images you will treasure for years to come.
I believe your beautiful portraits should live on the walls of your home, not on your phone or worse, floating around in the cloud. I believe in the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

"Booking a dance shoot with Heather is about so much more than the outcome - breathtakingly beautiful photographs. It's the entire experience, from collaborating on the location, choosing dancewear, to the exciting shoot day when she invites the dancer behind the lens for a quick peek.
Heather radiates positivity! Not only do I feel completely safe with her, her knowledge of the dance world, and her ability to produce stunning images, I know she has my dancer's best interest at heart. My daughter leaves every shoot full of confidence and we are both in awe every time we see the end results. Absolutely the best dance photographer in Maryland!"

"Heather has been taking photos for us since my youngest was born. She always captures the most special moments, even with a crazy toddler! She always has the best ideas for photos but is also interested in hearing our ideas as well. She is so good with the little ones of all ages, and always makes us feel comfortable in any situation. The end results are always better than we hoped for!"
"you simply must book her today! no regrets!
