When we look back on our lives, it's the spontaneous, in-the-moment everyday magic that makes life beautiful— the belly laughs and tummy tickles, the bear hugs and sweet, heartfelt kisses. These moments go by in the blink of an eye, and if we aren't careful, they'll pass us by before we can really soak it all in.
Photos help us slow down, savor every precious detail, and allow us to relive them again and again for a lifetime. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and those who come after to keep these memories alive with a meaningful photography experience that doesn't just capture an image but turns every fleeting moment into a timeless treasure.
I'm a family, maternity, couple, and senior photographer in Northern Virginia and the DMV area. I specialize in creating high-quality, heirloom photography that is more than "just a photo," but a piece of artwork showcasing your story. Imagine your most heartfelt moments wrapped in glowy natural light, with the stunning beauty of nature as your backdrop.
As the sappy photographer that I am, I love creating images that set the stage for authentic emotion and genuine connection, bringing the bond you share to life and celebrating life's ever-changing seasons. One of the best parts about my job is to see the magic in seemingly ordinary moments and provide you with memories that will tug at your heartstrings, live on the walls of your home, and be shared with future generations
Family portraits are a part of our legacy. They provide us the luxury of holding pivotal moments close, sharing them with loved ones, and passing them on to our children. As your family photographer, I’ll help you preserve your unique memories full of laughter, hugs, and kisses, highlighting what matters most — the love of family.
Document the excitement and anticipation of your baby’s pending arrival with a maternity session. I'll capture all the sweet details, from the curves of your beautiful belly to your radiant pregnancy glow and the overwhelming adoration for your growing newborn. Remember this incredible experience forever.
Senior pictures are more than just getting photos for the senior yearbook. Your senior year is a milestone you'll remember forever. Your senior portraits should be a unique, unforgettable experience—just like you! So let's show the world the real you and leave your legacy on this year's graduating class with memorable senior portraits.
Life gets busy, and sometimes, we forget to slow down and spend time with those we care about most. Whether you're celebrating a proposal, engagement, or anniversary, couple sessions are a great way to document the different milestones of your love story. Enjoy spending quality time with your arms wrapped around your "other half," creating lasting memories — just the two of you.
Mini sessions are perfect for those times when you just want to capture a few images of your family and document the moment. Whether you want a few quick shots for a holiday card or to commemorate a special milestone, photography mini sessions are a great option. With mini sessions, you can get a few beautiful and timeless images of your family in a short amount of time.
Heidi was very easy to work with and very responsive. Heidi, also, has tips on how to pose and what to wear. She really sets your expectations and makes you feel at ease.
Heidi went above and beyond, just like her pictures. Her pictures are on another level of perfection. Beautiful! I will be taking our family pictures with her for now on. I highly recommend Heidi not just for her excellent customer service, but also because our pictures are gorgeous!"
It is no easy feat to get three little kids and an infant to cooperate but somehow Heidi managed to make us all look our best. She really wanted to make sure we loved our photos and took a lot of time before and after the shoot to understand what we wanted for lighting, poses etc. the photos that she took are absolute treasures."
Her photos are truly magic...romantic, classic, bright, airy, whimsical, clean, fresh, timeless...I could go on. She captured our relationship with her camera perfectly and you can tell she spent the time to carefully choose the best photos while paying attention to special details. We can't thank her enough for being so kind, warm, professional, down to earth, and truly gifted at what she does."
Photo sessions make the perfect gift! Digital gift certificates are available.
