Heather Crowder is an on location, Annapolis Maryland children’s portrait photographer serving the Annapolis, Maryland, and greater Baltimore and Washington, DC metropolitan areas.  Heather works with babies, newborns, toddlers, children, high school seniors, Midshipmen, and families, and offers both color and black and white portraits.  Her style has been described as modern, fresh and spirited, and you’ll see this reflected in the images on her website. 

Heather works exclusivey on-location, capturing your family in the environment where you can most be yourselves!  She prefers to use natural light during her sessions, and will schedule your session for the best time of day to achieve the most beautiful results.  Portraiture of this kind is unique in that it enables the her to capture your child “in the moment”; you won’t ever hear Heather ask your child to say cheese, but she may provide a bit of direction to capture the best light or angle.  Heather’s style is a little bit classic and traditional, a little bit photojournalistic, and a little bit of this and that.  The final product though, are portraits that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Heather has an innate ability to connect with her subjects and this shows in her work.  Whether it’s a giggling toddler, or the pensive stare of a baby just starting to sit up, this connection is part of what makes her images unique and special.  She immediately puts her subjects (big and small) at ease, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone!

Some of Heather Crowder’s favorite places to photograph children and families include Quiet Waters Park, Downtown Annapolis, Eastport, Bay Ridge Beach, Downs Park, Old Town Alexandria, Idlewild Park in Easton, the United States Naval Academy, Homestead Gardens, St. Michael’s, City Dock, Federal Hill, and many, many others.  Of course, your backyard can also be a beautiful place for a portrait session!

Heather Crowder Photography also accepts commercial photography, editorial photography, and modeling photography assignments.  Heather is available for travel, as well.
