Your halloween traditions may be disrupted this year but we’ve got a simple-spider-set to record your costumes and fun and help a good cause.
We’ve opened up a few appointments to commemorate Halloween 2020 and raise funds for Baltimore Safe Haven.
Join us for a 10 minute appointment in the studio. The cost is a $50 donation that will go directly to provide opportunities for a higher quality of life for TLGBQ people in Baltimore City living in survival mode.
Baltimore Safe Haven envisions a world in which every transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer person is able to live a healthy, self-determined, and self-sufficient life free from stigma, violence, and oppression.
If we raise $1500 we can cover the cost of transitional housing for 1 month. That means a person in survival mode has a safe place to make decisions and plan for their next steps.
Mini Sessions are themed sets available for a limited amount of time. Each session lasts 15 minutes and includes your choice of 3 digital images. Sessions are planned in advanced and announced 3-6 weeks ahead of the event with sample images. VIP Members get the first opportunity to book mini sessions – learn more at www.heartlovephotography.com/VIPmembership

My photography studio in Pasadena, MD is kind of like my second home. It’s kid-friendly and gives me the flexibility to photograph newborn sessions with studio lighting as well as capturing unposed, lifestyle images. I love the mixture we have in this session!
I tend to blog a lot of images but I always want people who are considering hiring me to see the variety of images they should expect in a session. This is about half of the images I delivered!
Scroll through to see little sister copy big brother’s pose. I love kids with an age-gap – all siblings are sweet and these special moments truly warmed my heart. He was so patient and helpful!
My home and backyard aren’t particularly picturesque here in little Pasadena, MD. Don’t get me wrong – I love and appreciate my home and I cherish the history that 4 generations of my family have made here but visually, it’s not extraordinary. When I started offering vintage truck photo sessions, I tried very hard to find a location that would work for my rusty old truck (that doesn’t even have a key!) and we settled on a little corner of our yard.
It photographs pretty well at just the right angle at just the right time of day but most often my clients drive past the house! They assume we’ll be in the woods or at a farm rather than just 1/4 mile off the highway in the suburbs. Now I tell them you’ll recognize our home because we fly a Pride flag.
Here’s one of my favorite truck photo sessions to date! Two husbands and their 13 year old fur baby, Sadie, made for some of the sweetest moments here yet.
Exploring the beaches along the Magothy River at sunset is always such a joy and it makes for an incredible backdrop for family portraits. My style is casual and candid so having places to sit, jump, splash and spin are perfect to capture genuine joy in children of all ages. Scroll to the end to see my favorite image from this session – little people carrying their lovies are just the best.
Many people come to Heartlove for posed, studio-style newborn images. Typically those happen in my Pasadena, MD studio but I can also pack up the studio and bring it to your home (a few miles or a few states away!) Every now and again I get to do more lifestyle newborn sessions, in-home. While some photographers offer stricky documenaty in home sessions, I do a little documenting and a little posing so you have the best of both worlds.
