Hi there!  Thank you for stopping by!

My love of photography started at a very young age.  I still remember the constant trips to get film developed and the excitement I felt when I finally was able to see what I created.  It wasn't until my early twenties that I decided to pursue my passion for photography as more than just a hobby and I haven't looked back since. There is nothing more rewarding than doing what makes you happy.

I am a lover of love and all things romantic.  Photographing couples and families is my passion.  I want your photos to be a solid representation of who you are, as well as timeless art that will be treasured for years to come.  I especially love documentary style photography and capturing genuine heartfelt moments.

My family, friends, and boyfriend are my world. I also love coffee, traveling, cilantro, DIY weddings, and adventuring. I don't love licorice, an empty dance floor, or the winter.   

I'd love for you to let me tell your story!

Cheers, Heather

I MAY  NEED TO RESCHEDULE MY WEDDING.  WHAT ARE YOUR POLICIES?

Check out all of the COVID-19 related policies here.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO REACH YOU?

Email me at hrk@heatherryanphotography.com or use my
contact page. I'd love to hear from you!  

WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

I am a lifestyle photographer who prefers to photograph people being themselves! During your session I want you to be relaxed and have fun so that your personality shines through in your photos.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR OR BRING TO OUR SHOOT? 

Solid, bright colors photograph well. You may bring along a couple outfits to change into for variety. Logos and busy patterns can take away from the main subject – YOU – so I recommend that you stay away from them.

Feel free to look at my portfolio for past clients' clothing decisions. For a fun and unique session bring anything that shows off your interests, or hold your session somewhere that is important to you.

HOW DO I RESERVE YOU TO PHOTOGRAPH MY WEDDING?

Once I receive a signed copy of your wedding contract and the 30%
non-refundable retainer – your date is saved!

Please note that email inquiries do not guarantee any client
to a particular date.

WHERE DO YOU HOLD YOUR SESSIONS?

I currently work exclusively on location. We can meet at any location of your choice or of my suggestion. I am based out of Bowie, MD and there are so many great locations in the MD, DC and VA area! I prefer to shoot during the morning when the day is fresh and the sun is low on the horizon.  

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN TERMS OF FINAL IMAGES?

A one full hour portrait session will usually produce around 150+ final photographs that have all been professionally edited and enhanced. A full 8 hour wedding can produce between 1,200+ photos. 

Your images are photographed in RAW color format.  After our shoot, I handpick the final images from the session and work with each selection to bring it to its full potential.  Once your photos are ready I will send you a link to download your photos immediately.  Wedding clients also receive their images delivered on a USB flash drive.
