"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!

Hey there, I'm Heather and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I believe in real moments and the kinds of images that not only tell a story, but take you back to a certain moment in time and make you FEEL something. I believe in portraits that are just itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for generations to enjoy, not lost on your phone or worse, left floating alone in the cloud.

For DANCERS
ready to tell your dance story?
Your dancer has put in countless hours perfecting the beautiful art and technique of dance. Not to mention all the time and money spent as parents helping your dancer discover their passion and confidence on stage! Forever preserve this precious time in their lives while helping them gain confidence and show them how beautiful and talented they really are. Serious dancers need a professional portfolio as they start exploring summer intensives, colleges and auditions. One of the best parts of dance portrait sessions is showing the dancer the back of the camera and hearing "Wow - I didn't know I looked that good!" Priceless.

"While I have owned my own photography business for over eight years, I know for certain that in this business, you are always learning and growing and pivoting. The photography business has changed so much since I began, and I felt I needed the assistance of someone I knew who had successfully been doing all of these things and more.
During a handful of in person sessions with Heather, she asked me questions that I had not even thought about asking myself. She not only reviewed some of the basics with me, she also pointed me in the right direction to start down a more focused path to become a more successful photographer and business owner. She is not only a great communicator and teacher, she is also a great friend! "

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.
As an award winning photographer in business since 2007, my passion is to create the kind of community for other photographers that I wish I had when I was first starting, a soft place to land and connect with and learn from those ahead of me on the journey. I want to help you grow your artistry, gain confidence and find community.
