My Story:
My name is Kelly Heck. I am a Corporate & Commercial Photographer located in Central Maryland. My specialties include Staff Headshots, Editorial Portraiture, Branding Photos & Portraiture, Product Photos, Corporate & Private Events, and I also dabble in Consumer Portraiture.
I began my photography career at a mere 15 years old – beginning my photography assistant position at a youth sport photography company called Pictures-R-Us, located in Taneytown, Maryland. I am formally trained in traditional photography (shooting and developing film and prints in a darkroom) at Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, GA and thankful to be an award-winning photographer. Check out some of my personal work!
Freelancing since 2004, I left my full time job in Spring of 2015 to focus 100% of my time on building my photography business.
