Kelly is such a skilled photographer from start to finish. She provided ideas for outfits and settings for my family photo. She positioned and posed us in so many natural authentic poses that brought out the closeness we share between us. Our pictures are such an emotional memorable experience that captured the best of each of the 5 of us. I love them tremendously and I am happy to share them with family. I wish I could click on more than 5 stars for her rating!!

I am the President of the New Windsor Volunteer Fire Dept. Last year we started a photo project for our 75th anniversary. The project unfortunately stalled part way through due to our last photographer’s inability to follow through with it. After being turned down by some other photographers due to not wanting to finish what someone else started, Kelly Heck stepped up, took on our project, and finished it. The project turned out fantastic. We would recommend her for any photo project, and we will be using her services in the future when needed. Stop by our fire hall to see this wonderful photo collage of our membership. Thank you, Marcy Munshaur

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Kelly for our couple family photoshoot! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease, which allowed us to open up and truly be ourselves in front of the camera. Her ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions is truly remarkable. Not only did she make the entire session fun and comfortable, but she also went above and beyond to ensure we got the perfect shots.

As a business owner, having quality photography makes such a difference in both how professional my website looks, but custom photography has an added benefit of positively impacting SEO. Especially for local businesses.
Thanks again, Kelly!

Kelly, thank you so much for using your unique and exceptional talent as a photographer to capture the personality and brand I wanted to convey as an author. There were many days when I was sitting at the computer wearing sweats with my hair in a messy bun and feeling like the words and concepts just weren’t coming… and if I should actually keep going. But there was something about being able to look at the photos you captured that reminded me of who I was. Or, more importantly, who I knew I needed to be to bring such an important message to the world. Thank you for being part of this journey and for bringing me countless moments of confidence when I needed them the most.

My company hired Kelly to do headshots and she was so wonderful to work with! Very easy/flexible scheduling process and gave clear, easy to understand directions to the location we chose. She had such a pleasant demeanor and was able to confidently direct me during the shoot, which in turn made me so comfortable and I was really able to trust that she was getting very flattering angles/positioning. My photos came out PERFECT and I couldn’t have been happier. Will be returning when the need arises. Thanks Kelly!

We have been working with Kelly for about a year now and she is fantastic! Kelly has handled 3-4 shoots for us, mostly corporate/identity stuff, both inside and outside of our offices. I have worked with probably a dozen or so photographers over the past 30 years, and Kelly is the best.
I would say her superpower is putting people at ease and working with subjects with various personalities. From our sales team to our CEO and executive team, Kelly quickly establishes a bond with anyone and it sets her far above the rest.
Easy to schedule, easy to work with, communicates effectively, takes amazing photos, turns them around professionally, has a nice platform for viewing and downloading photos, etc. Can’t say enough about her… She is awesome.

She gives you very personal individual attention – and she gets back with you in a timely manner for scheduling and coordination. She answers your questions thoroughly. She texts, emails and has a great web portal – her website is really well done and is an adventure all to itself. Kelly walks that fine line between being fun, yet easily understood as a very serious professional artist. Her prices are cost-efficient – especially when you take into consideration the enormous amount of time she puts into getting great pictures.
Kevin Dayhoff - Westminster

Martha Padilla - Westminster, Maryland
I have had the pleasure of working with Kelly on a few different projects at the college. Always positive and professional, not only does she have a great eye for composing beautiful and dynamic images, she is also very open to taking direction from a client. This lent an air of creative collaboration to our photo shoots, something I appreciated. No matter how you choose to work with her, you can count on Kelly to capture amazing moments through her lens!
Don Philbrick - Westminster, Maryland
KELLY . . . AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY. Our band Fat Daddies and the Tenderloins played on stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion and she captured the entire concert. Close ups and fade-aways . . . the photography was amazing. Very affordable, too! We rocked that place and Kelly’s photos told the whole story!
Dr. David Hasson - Columbia, Maryland
Working with Kelly Heck Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our company. She captured our vision perfectly, was very responsive to any feedback we had, and extremely prompt with all our deliverables. What I appreciated most about Kelly is that she didn’t just “show up” – she really took the time (before and during the shoot) to really understand our goals, share her thoughts on how to make our photos better, and always knew exactly what to do to get “that shot”. This included wall squats for minutes on end and standing on luggage towers! In addition, Kelly arrived an hour early to account for DMV traffic! We truly look forward to working with her on future projects and so should you.
Anna Mallepalle - Columbia, Maryland
Kelly is amazing to work with. She has done a lot of photo shoots for us and each time they have been fantastic. Kelly works in an extremely professional but relaxed manner which makes everyone feel comfortable. We love the photos that she has created for us. She is creative and fun. Kelly is Carroll County’s go-to photographer!
Lori Blake - Hampstead, Maryland
As a former professional photographer myself working with Kelly has been nothing but professional all the way. She has delivered top quality work at a great price and with elite level efficiency. I wouldn’t spend a dime or my time looking for anyone else in the Maryland area as she is all you will ever need for high-end professional results. Her communication is superb as well as punctuality and she will see the job through to the very end and them some.
Dave Stultz - Los Angeles, California
Kelly truly captured my family’s history and dedication to the butcher business. With multiple shots throughout the shop, various poses, and multiple props of meat and knives, it was a task that would have been daunting to any photographer, and she handled it with humor and grace! These are photos that my family sincerely treasures, and we will pass them down through the generations as proof of our proud history in the meat business. It was an excellent retirement gift for the guys, and not only do we all love the final product, but it was a fun process creating these memories. Thank you so much to Kelly for capturing this cherished history!
Amber Farran - MAURER & MILLER MEATS | Hampstead, Maryland
Kelly was on-time, prepared, and very professional throughout our shoot. Her personal attention to detail and client relationships makes her stand out above the rest!
William Phillips - Emmitsburg, Maryland
Sylvia Blair - Eldersburg, Maryland
Kelly Heck snapped photos of me for a local publication. What a great experience! I never had a photo session before and was a bit nervous. Immediately, Kelly made me feel at home. Her personality is positive, upbeat and joyous. I loved how she explained everything she was doing. Her creativity in getting the best shot possible was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Kelly for any photo session.
Deb Smith - Hanover, Pennsylvania
Kelly was great to work with and exceeded our expectations. During the photo shoot, she brought props and different lighting options that enhanced the photo shoot. My son is thrilled with his senior pictures.
Don Rowe - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly invited me to her studio for a corporate photo. My wife came along to enjoy the ride in the Maryland countryside to Taneytown. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a wide smile that I learned is a small sample of the wonderful service Kelly provides her clients. The whole shoot was so simple only because of the work Kelly put into the session making my experience stellar. She is wonderful and inviting to work with. Her rates are more than reasonable and her post product work made my photo really pop. So glad to have found her and will recommend her for any type of photo session.
Will Kea - Frederick, Maryland
Kelly was very easy to work with. She talked with us about our likes and dislikes before hand. And was completely prepared for us at the shoot. The pictures turned out fantastic and the turnaround time was so fast. Kelly completely captured our family’s personality and wasn’t afraid to suggest unique poses, or locations, and she was completely open to try our ideas as well. I will and have recommended Kelly to several friends already!
Sarah Rice - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Working with Kelly is very easy from beginning to end! She is very approachable with a great sense of humor which instantly puts her subjects at ease, all while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She runs her business very efficiently. We received the finished product quickly, and we were very happy with the results! I would certainly recommend Kelly to anyone with a need for professional photography work!
Donna Pope - Mt. Airy, Maryland
Valerie Giovagnoni - Westminster, Marylandd
An above AMAZING experience. Booking was so easy and your response time was very quick. I loved how easy you made it to schedule and set up. You made our session so comfortable and were able to suggest the perfect poses for a family who is not so great at posing. Your photos are such high quality and they are so wonderful. We cannot thank you enough!!!!
Melissa Rosewag Haines - Taneytown, Maryland
When I look at the professional photos Kelly Heck has taken of my girls; she has truly captured their happiness in that moment. I wish she could photograph them every day, as they grow and learn and change. Kelly’s skill level is unmatched in my opinion. She may carry a ‘fancy camera’ but it’s the eye behind the camera that makes all the difference. When you need photos taken, Kelly Heck is your photographer.
Valerie Esmont - Broadview Heights, Ohio
Kelly, the photos are FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you for capturing all those moments!! It means so much to have these photos!!! You did an amazing job!! I will certainly recommend you to any family and friends and will contact you again if I ever need a photographer! You were a pleasure to work with and I felt like you were part of the party.
Jen Schmidt - Fells Point - Baltimore, Maryland
Kelly Heck was professional, talented and provided amazing photos! I am thrilled to have worked with her and loved the experience. She was phenomenal and truly captured some amazing moments. I’m so glad she was the photographer for the Hanover Magazine!
Brittany Stevens - Hanover, Pennsylvania
I needed professional portraits of myself for my website and marketing, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose to go with Kelly Heck Photography. Kelly is a pleasure to work with and she knows how to take great photos. I typically don’t like pictures of myself, but Kelly Heck helped me relax and present the best version of myself. The process to book a photo shoot was easy and my photos turned out amazing. If your family or business needs a photographer, look no further than Kelly Heck Photography.
Adam Stultz - Union Bridge, Maryland
When the photographs arrived and I opened the box, they literally took my breath away! The depth of color was truly amazing as it brought the subjects almost into 3-D! I am more than satisfied with the high quality of my prints, and the professionalism you brought to every level of the experience.
Judy Reed - Hampstead, Maryland
Muriel Cruickshank Rigel - Parkville, Maryland
I had the pleasure of working with Kelly Heck for an article in Carroll Magazine. She put me at complete ease and I loved the shots she took. That never happens! Her love of her art shines through.
Nancy Foster Petrella - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly is always a pleasure to work with! She is very receptive to ideas from the team at The Yingling Group of RBC Wealth Management, and shares ways to improve for a professional looking picture. Her patience and upbeat personality makes the experience very enjoyable.
Chelsea Seible - Westminster, Maryland
When it comes to needing excellent product photos done, using a professional photographer is essential and I highly recommend Kelly. Kelly is great walking you through the whole process offering suggestions regarding the style of the images and making sure the images match the intent of what you hope to use the photos. She has great photo equipment that makes the products pop – no shadows, no dark areas, no shiny spots – just right! Throughout the photo shoot she even shows you the raw images in the camera to ensure the look is what you want and if not adjusts things to make sure it does making sure I am happy with everything at the end of the day. The best part is going through the final images as I caught myself oohing over each image – they all look perfect for a magazine or postcard. I cannot recommend Kelly enough, she knows her stuff!
Michelle Sholund - Reisterstown, Maryland
Beth Esmont - Canton, Ohio
I’m so glad that I found Kelly Heck Photography for my headshot! Kelly makes sure that she understands her clients’ needs and it was clear to me that I was in good hands throughout the entire process. I am very happy with the final photos and highly recommend Kelly’s services. Thank you Kelly!
Alicia Bembenek - Reisterstown, Maryland
Working with you on our photo needs was an excellent experience. The team really appreciated your expertise and easy-going manner in getting them comfortable with the photo session.
Gary Ditto - Woodstock, Maryland
I uploaded my portrait to my FB page and the responses I received were amazing. I will find a way to promote you through all of this. I’m extremely pleased and it was worth every penny! I will be back for more at some point in the future!
Hunter Pieklik - Baltimore, Maryland
I will not hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone needing her photography services.
John P. Hale, ABR, CRS, GRI - Taneytown, Maryland
Kimberly Walker - Sykesville, Maryland
Kelly Heck has the unique ability to create beautiful photos of everyday subjects. She is creative, clever and technically proficient! I would definitely recommend Kelly Heck.
Sylvia Blair - Westminster, Maryland
We were very pleased with the photo shoot and have multiple pictures scattered throughout the homes of the entire family. As I’m sure you are aware , doing a photo session with a 4 month old, while rewarding, contains it’s challenges. You were more than accommodating, possessing a lot of knowledge regarding the location (great spots, ideas, angles, etc.) We could tell that you genuinely enjoyed what you did, which made us very comfortable and ultimately captured memories that my family will cherish forever.
Nicholas Gill - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly was fantastic in working with City Staff and Elected Officials in a small window of time, prior to a Mayor and Common Council Meeting. Any questions and/ or inquiries, Kelly was very responsive and was accommodating to our needs. From receiving a proposal, to booking, through receiving the final drafts, Kelly was awesome to work with.
Shannon Visocsky - Westminster, Maryland
Bryan Sullivan - Westminster, Maryland
Thank you Kelly for being such an awesome photographer. Whether it’s for my family or my business, when I think photos, my first thought is Kelly Heck. Kelly is a delightful person which results true comfort when you work with her. You won’t be disappointed by her efforts – she gives 100% to your project!
Valerie Giovagnoni - Westminster, Maryland
I have known Kelly for a long time and she is an outstanding professional. She is the best in her trade and I highly recommend her.
Edward “Skip” Curry - Monkton, Maryland
We LOVE Kelly – this is our second year having her take professional shots of our band and she has done another wonderful job of it. Not only did she manage to make us all look wonderful, she gave us a completely different look from the prior year. I can’t wait to see what she does with us next year! We all enjoy working with her so much – she’s so easy to get along with, agreeable to try anything that pops in our heads no matter how nutty it may seem, and works hard to be as flexible with our schedule as she possibly can. Considering there are five of us to wrangle, that is no small task! We highly recommend Kelly – just don’t try to schedule her when we need her.
Kelly Deaver - Hampstead, Maryland
Anyone looking for a professional photographer to capture company photographs, headshots, groups, still life’s, and staging, look no further than Kelly Heck! She’s outstanding to work with. Asks great questions, and is an active listener. She takes time with her subjects and is proud of her work. Follow up, after the shoot, is as professional as the first call. You won’t go wrong!
Scott Alme - Westminster, Maryland
What an amazing job you did! I absolutely love these and I feel like they represent “me”! Thank you so much for your keen eye and very fast turn around! I appreciate your work so very much!
Beyond Kelly’s expert artistic and detailed eye, she is a pleasure to work with in all aspects. Her communication skills are excellent and she really took the time to understand what we were looking for and to make individualized recommendations to ensure success on photo-shoot day. Kelly definitely helped us to find “the photo” we were looking for, and ensured that we were represented in our best light, literally! We look forward to our next photo needs as we will certainly be giving Kelly a call.
Juralee Smith Miranda - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly Heck is the best photographer we have ever worked with. The pictures she captured were full of smiles and just pure happiness. She was 5000% professional and quick, and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
Angela Ng - Baltimore, Maryland
Kelly was highly recommended by a friend, and she delivers! For my profile shots; I gave Kelly complete artistic control of the settings, wardrobe, and pose. The results were fabulous! And my parents especially loved the 8″ x 10″ prints they picked for their Mother’s and Father’s Day gift. Thank you Kelly!
Kevin Baggott - Westminster, Maryland
I have always wanted family pictures taken, and, when we purchased a small farm, I knew that would be the perfect place to do it. With four little ones who are all over the place, I was really nervous about how we would round them all up for the shots. Kelly took my fear away – she worked so well with all of the kids, and they loved her. She was excellent at catching the precious moments of them all. I loved the way she was willing to get down and dirty to get the perfect shot. We have had two sessions so far, and I look forward to many more. Our photos are life-long precious memories that I enjoy every day. I can’t thank you enough, Kelly, for your amazing work.
Karen Marsh - Keymar, Maryland
Working with Kelly has always been a pleasure. She’s been our go-to photographer for years because she’s incredibly talented and she makes each photo shoot a stress-free process. From start to finish, Kelly is punctual, professional, and creative. She listens to our vision and adds her own twist, resulting in beautiful photographic work.
Tara Barnabei - Westminster, Maryland
Our family came over on Christmas and they absolutely loved the professionally framed print (I attached a pic), as well as the other photos. We are extremely happy with your work, you are a fantastic photographer!
Katy Bassett - Westminster, Maryland
Working with Kelly Heck Photography is beyond compare. The latest project that Kelly handled for us was the birthday celebration of our 90-year-old mother. Kelly was prompt, thorough, thoroughly engaging to all, very inconspicuous and produced incredible shots both staged and candid. From beginning to end, Kelly presents herself with grace, poise, and professionalism at every turn and never disappoints. I could not recommend her any higher.
Ann Bollinger - Westminster, Maryland
My experience with Kelly was excellent. She provided suggestions and input for my photo shoot that made it turn out beyond my expectations. Kelly is very professional and I could not be more pleased with the end product.
Lisa Conklin - Taneytown, Maryland
Our session with Kelly was absolutely fantastic! The entire session was laid back and casual, resulting in natural and more personal images! Kelly is also great at pre and post session communication. She knew exactly what we wanted even before our session day. Our print order was impeccably packaged, and the quality of the prints was even better! As a small business owner ourselves, we highly recommend Kelly Heck Photography!
Victoria Robinson - New Windsor, Maryland
Kelly is responsive, professional, and has an exceptional eye! She really captured what our work is all about at Target-our clients. I would highly recommend her services.
Gail Slater - Westminster, Maryland
It’s always a pleasure to work with Kelly; such a talented expert who was able to capture so many great moments at our Grand Opening celebration. Look forward to working with her on future projects.
Shannon Cushen - Hampstead, Maryland
Kelly was a joy to work with. Sometimes corporate photos can be stuffy and boring but she was able to get a creative look while still looking professional. It’s almost impossible to get an outdoor shot without an unwanted image in the background but Kelly easily edited out anything that we requested. Our website is immensely improved with the beautiful pictures Kelly took.
Chelsea Seibel - Westminster, Maryland
This was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for helping me feel comfortable with the process! You were incredibly responsive, warm, and accommodating!
Beth Kobett - Pikesville, Maryland
Kelly is fantastic! She is considerate and listens to her clients’ concerns. Thank you, Kelly Heck Photography!
Lindsay C. Rausch - Sykesville, Maryland
We were very pleased with the photo shoot for Chloe’s Senior Photos. She wanted to incorporate the horses and this can be tricky with large animals. I appreciated that we could change the date (several times) due to weather since the horses can be difficult in certain weather conditions. The photos turned out wonderful. Thank you for the great work!
Michele Warrington - Eldersburg, Maryland
Kelly saved the day!! Not only did she show up with literally 30 minutes notice – the pictures she took were simply beautiful. She did an amazing job!! In fact, my homeowner asked for a copy of the pics for her ‘memory book’. And…. the property went under contract in 5 days!! Kelly definitely presented an already gorgeous home so well – her work definitely doesn’t look like typical ‘real estate’ photos.
Dianne Wrobel - Westminster, Maryland
If you need a photographer that you can really trust, I can not more highly recommend Kelly. She easily and professionally handled head shots for over 30 people in our office, and put everyone at ease with her engaging and fun personality even though some were most certainly camera-shy. Even more impressive to me is how she managed to capture the power and emotion of our Drug Overdose and Prevention Vigil that involved over 400 people in attendance. The photos she took were frankly award-worthy, and through the moments she captured she was able to artistically convey the heartache of those who had lost loved ones. Kelly is not just a picture taker but her work shows a story-telling quality that you want for that special occasion….and she is an awesome juggling teacher to boot!
Brian DeLeonardo - Westminster, Maryland
I was looking for a photographer for large banner pictures, both for my website and social media/marketing channels. I sell wood pens that all have a metallic surface which is extremely difficult to capture. I was able to take some simple pictures, but when it came to the large “staged” pictures, I just couldn’t get it to work. Kelly was able to get the first picture within 15 minutes, and once that was set up, we just flew through the other’s! I was impressed with Kelly’s knowledge about lighting, equipment angles, and setting up the products in a way that look great on a website.
After meeting with Kelly, it only took a few days to edit them and have them back to me, and she was able to provide me with a few versions of each shot.
For any website or e-commerce store, it is totally worth the small investment to have a beautiful picture as the first thing your customers see. I feel that I got much more than I paid for, especially from a commercial standpoint, and I will be coming back to Kelly each time I need stock pictures or portraits for my website.
Ryan Herbstsomer - Westminster, Maryland
We just finished looking through all of the pictures. You did an amazing job!!! Thank you so much! Again, these pictures are amazing and we love them so much!!!

LOOOOVE, LOOOVE, LOOVE, LOVE the pictures. You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
John B. & Brian F. - Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new head shots from Kelly Heck. Boy is she patient and have an amazing photographic eye. Already starting to use the product photos for my social media pages and then for my website. Even the photos of me pouring candles, which I thought would be boring, were off the hook and engaging! Thanks again for helping me and my business look awesome!
Michelle Sholund - Reisterstown, Maryland
Kelly recently photographed my daughter for her Senior Pictures and they turned out beautifully. Kelly selected several different locations to take the photographs which made for the perfect backdrops. Her professionalism combined with her artistic creativity and patience surpassed my expectations and provided us with beautiful pictures that will be enjoyed for life! I will definitely call on Kelly’s services again in the future.
Sandy Strack - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly did the photography for our ground breaking event in June. She did an amazing job and the photos were spectacular. She really capture the essence of the event and we have so many wonderful photos for our new office walls. Kelly was terrific to work with and really provides superb customer service. I highly recommend Kelly, she will certainly exceed your expectations. We look forward to working with Kelly again in the future.
Lori Blake - Reisterstown, Maryland
I have known Kelly since she began her photography business. She did my first biz shot in her studio years ago. She was able to capture who I am – and I have never photographed well ’til she took it. It was great. It will be time once again, and she will be my choice!
Wilma Brown - Taneytown, Maryland
Your attention to detail and knack for creativity is what sets you apart in the photography field!!
Fran Bartels - Hampstead, Maryland
I was thrilled with my pictures taken by Kelly. She was on top of every detail and communication was excellent. Kelly is more than a photographer, she is an artist. She listened carefully to my needs and produced pictures beyond my expectations.
Lynn Richardson - Westminster, Maryland
Over the past several years I have hired Kelly as our photographer for twenty photo shoots at Carroll Community College. The shoots have run the gamut from informal student activities, formal events, classroom shots, and off-campus events. She manages to take engaging photos of subject matter that isn’t always exciting. She always listens to my ideas and brings her experience to each shoot which results in wonderful photos. Kelly is a highly dependable, creative photographer and I’m sure we’ll continue to work together for many years to come!
Eleni Swengler - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly Heck has provided photography services for Target Community & Educational Services, Inc.’s black-tie optional annual fundraiser, the Spring Gala, for three years. Kelly’s photographs from this event have always been great, but this year her talents and expertise resulted in extraordinary photos! Kelly’s photographs from these events have always received compliments from many attendees. The addition this year of providing photos from the Spring Gala for viewing and purchase through Kelly’s website has been a great hit! Kelly is very professional to work with and cares about her clients and her work. I always working with her. I highly recommend Kelly Heck’s photography services!
Sandy Sipes - Westminster, Maryland
Kelly Heck of Kelly Heck Photography – you are saving me a lot of time and in the long run, money thanks to your expertise in product photography. The difference between doing it yourself with photo box and an iPhone to a professional with amazing lighting equipment and staging know how to cater to the needs of what the purpose of what the photos intended purpose is like night and day.
Michelle Sholund - Reisterstown, Maryland
I had a wonderful time working with Kelly. She was talented, professional, and efficient. I look forward to any future shoots.
Ameerah Jones - Towson, Maryland
Kelly has been a true pleasure to work with from the our very first interaction via email up to the day of the shoot and beyond. Kelly not only puts out some outstanding work but she also makes the experience fun and very easy.
Ryan Houck - Woodbine, Maryland
Over the past two years, Kelly and I have worked together to build a photo stock portfolio to freshen marketing material for Carroll County Tourism. Kelly documented events and activities in the county that show off how much there is to do in our area. Her photographs have been a great addition to our portfolio!
Bonnie Staub - Westminster, Maryland
I could have caught more than ‘heck’ for doing things so differently the day we met Kelly Heck, but instead we caught lightening in a bottle. Grass is not easy to photograph let alone the boring sequence from box to planting. Traditionally we have done photography in studio to control the light. Kelly wanted to use the natural light right on our turf farm to capture the natural beauty of the grass and give it the look found in nature. The extra effort required to make it all work was so worth the end result. We are very happy she convinced us to do this. It gave us photographs that were real, not some studio concoction, and a truth and credibility in the presentation of the product as it really is. Things in nature are far from uniform and that is the way the product is now presented on our website. No more over processed photos… just the real thing the way it is. We caught Heck alright and glad we did, and we won’t catch heck from our customers anymore!
John Ridgway - Taneytown, Maryland
Kelly is a total pro – easy to work with, flexible with scheduling and she makes the subjects she photographs feel comfortable, even if they don’t like their pictures taken. The staff portraits turned out beautifully – and one staffer’s husband liked hers so much he wants to have prints made for the family! We’ve used Kelly in the past and will do so again in the future.
Lisa Albin - Westminster, Maryland
I asked Kelly to photograph our intimate wedding ceremony at Antrim 1812. It was just the two of us, so we didn’t need someone for hours, but wanted to capture the moment. Kelly did an excellent job, and we are thrilled with the results. I thought I would be lucky to get one or two photos that I liked, but I only found a few that I didn’t! Not only are her photos excellent, she was also very pleasant and put us at ease. I highly recommend Kelly for your special event!
Laura Swisher Ruprecht - Fulton, Maryland
Excellent communications – timely and ease of using email for the entire process (contract, questions, payment & product delivery), quick turnaround of finished product, helpful suggestions, Kelly made us feel comfortable while taking our portraits, highly recommend Kelly!
Karen Ackerman - Westminster, Maryland
