I always work with a trained assistant for newborn sessions but it’s especially important when you are working with 2 babies to have an extra set of hands and eyes dedicated to the babies’ safety!
Something I’m proud of is delivering individual images of each newborn so they have plenty of photos together but also have their own gallery including macro images of their tiny eye lashes, ears and lips.
You are warmly invited to join us for a gathering dedicated to healing and connection. I am delighted to host our first ever Reiki Circle, an evening infused with the gentle power of Reiki and the warmth of community.
When: Sunday March 10, 2024 at 7:00 pm
Where: Heartlove Studio, 8258 Veterans Hwy Ste. 1B, Millersville, MD 21108
This circle is a place where you can freely express, receive Reiki energy healing, and set intentions with the support of a loving community.

Reiki is a healing modality where practitioner channels the energy of the universe to their client to activate their body’s innate healing abilities, facilitate relaxation and promote physical and emotional well-being. Reiki is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
In a Reiki circle, one practitioner works in a supportive, group setting, fostering a sense of community and shared healing experience.
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡:
– Wear comfortable clothing.
– Arrive around 7pm and make yourself a tea, coffee or grab a cold drink/water. Use the restroom and get comfortable in the space.
– The session begins with a short introduction – I’ll explain what you can expect, offer options and give each person a chance to introduce themselves and share their intention for the evening.
– Intros are followed by a grounding meditation and a moment of quiet to help everyone settle in to the circle.
– You may sit or lie down – various style mats and chairs are available but feel free to bring anything you’d like for your own comfort. Move or stretch as you need throughout the session.
– I’ll offer a group healing intention and then work with each person, one at a time, for a few moments. Reiki is transferred by gently placing hands or hovering hands over the body. You’ll have total autonomy over how you receive.
– After the Reiki session, we’ll have a period of sharing, where you are invited to discuss your feelings or any insights. There will also be supplies to journal or draw reflections. You’ll have a choice if/how you participate.
– We’ll chat about carrying this energy back into your daily life and close the circle.

*Babies age newborn – 12 months, Toddlers age 13 months – 24 months, Children age 3 and up, Families include not more than 2 generations and siblings from the same household. Cousins, grandparents, etc. should book back to back sessions for additional time.
Most sessions take place in and around our studio located or our private greenhouse located in Millersville, MD.
All ages! They are usually intended for babies who can sit unassisted and children/siblings but most sets can be modified to accommodate newborn-6 month olds and families.
Yes! All family members are welcome – especially those with fur or scales. Just make sure you mention it ahead of time so I can make sure the space is safe for the animal.
Sample images are usually posted 3-4 weeks prior to each session and shared on our newsletter and social media pages. Part of the reason this is such a great deal is you’ll be trusting me to create the set without seeing it ahead of time. Some sets will not be built until the day of the session so you may not ever see a preview image.
As soon as you see one you like, book your spot! You can contact Jill directly at info (At) heartlovephotography .com or use the provided links. Let’s say you choose a holiday set in November and change your mind when you see the summer set – you can switch without issue so long as there is space left.
Only the person who signed up and their significant others and children may attend sessions with this membership. This does NOT include extended families or cousins.
Buy as many or as few as you want in your gallery. Scroll up for the full price list.
Sessions last 15 minutes. Almost all children warm up in that amount of time – even if they are usually shy. Older children may not need to stay for the entire 15 minutes.
Late arrivals will forfeit their time – we will stay on schedule for the day. Please plan for traffic and arrive with enough time to get your child ready.
Galleries are ready within 1-3 weeks of your session. We try very hard to deliver holiday-themed sessions before the holiday.
Your account must be up to date to receive image downloads.
Sessions in the studio include use of available wardrobe. See available wardrobe here: http://heartlovephotography.com/studio-wardrobe/
If you don’t see a style or size you’d like here, please bring your own wardrobe.
