Hello, I'm heather
Wedding & boudoir Photographer
Jackalope Photography is an Annapolis, MD wedding photography brand inspired by the legendary Jackalope—offbeat, unforgettable, and a little unhinged in the best way. After spotting a Jackalope figure in a Baltimore curio shop, the name instantly clicked and perfectly summed up how I shoot: candid, creative, and unapologetically different. As an Annapolis wedding photographer, I focus on real, emotional storytelling for couples getting married in Annapolis, Maryland, along the Chesapeake Bay, and throughout Maryland’s coastal wedding scene.
Behind the Lens at Jackalope Photography
 
I’ve been running Jackalope Photography since 2016 and went full-time in 2022—best decision I ever made. As an Annapolis, MD wedding photographer, I specialize in candid, personality-driven imagery for couples who want their photos to feel natural, emotional, and fun. If you feel awkward in front of the camera, you’re my people. I build sessions around comfort, laughter, and real connection, whether I’m photographing weddings, families, or newborns throughout Annapolis, Maryland and the surrounding DMV area.
Outside of photography, my creativity runs deep in pop culture and collectibles—I co-run events like the Maryland Toy Expo, Dominion Toy Con and Annapolis Toy Show, make and sell handmade earrings, and proudly own an absurd number of Furbys. We also just opened up a toy store in Edgewater, MD called The Toy Outpost and I work there a few days a week!
In 2024, I opened my first photography studio in Maryland, a longtime dream finally brought to life. I’d love to connect—whether I’m photographing your Annapolis wedding, welcoming your new baby, or running into you at a local event somewhere around town.

love to travel
 
Every year we try to take a couples trip to one of our favorite tropical locations. Rincon, Puerto RIco or Aruba are our top two favorites. Aruba is currently winning though as that is where Kristian proposed.
