Your family’s story is unlike any other

From the first time you met your soul mate, to when you were waiting for your first child to be born, to when you finally became a mother; every unique moment in your life has brought you and your family to where you are today. Your family story is filled with ups and downs, laughter and crying and everything in between. You value each moment you spend with your loved ones. Whether they’re once in a lifetime milestones or just the simple every day moments, you want to remember the beauty and connection of your family and how you feel in the moment.

You want candid images of your family, that show real emotions, real connections of your perfectly flawed family. You want a session that is candid and real. You don’t want photographs that don’t reflect you, don’t want stiff and unnatural posing, and you definitely don’t want props.

You want images the show the real, emotional and perfectly flawed you. You want images that document your family, just the way it is, filled with love for one another. And you want to enjoy your memories in a tangible way, through photo albums or artwork.

And that’s where I fit in.

Meet Linda

Hi! I’m Linda Gutierrez, the owner and photographer at Little Snaps Photography. I’m a wife, a mother and lifestyle photographer in Montgomery County, Maryland (Derwood, MD). As a Maryland portrait photographer, my goal is to document precious moments in life, specifically with mom in mind. I work with families to document the emotions, details and memories that in the future will make them laugh, cry or both. I want to help families document images that they will cherish forever.

All this was inspired by me becoming a mom. As a mom, I find myself behind the camera more often than in front of the camera. Sometimes, it takes a little extra effort to end up in pictures with my family. Every time I get in front of the camera, I am always so glad that I did; I get to see myself in the memory. More importantly, years after I’m gone, my son will have photographs of his mom. He will be able to look back on those moments, remember a time that feels like a lifetime ago and share those memories with others for generations.

The passion behind documenting my own family is what fuels my passion to work with others to document their unique story. From our first meeting together, I will design an experience that is custom designed just for you. We will work together to document candid and authentic images of you and your family. And then I will personally walk you through the process of creating custom products to preserve your family legacy and to share with generations to come.

Ready to get started?

It is truly important that I am the right photographer for every family I work with. I also want to make sure that every family that I work with gets a fully customized experience. This is why I only photograph a limited number of families each month to ensure you receive the personalized service you deserve.

If you would like to schedule a date for your session or to learn more about creating a customized experience for your family, please feel free to contact me.

 
 

KIND WORDS

We are over the moon about our family photography experience with Linda. After years of avoiding professional portraits because we didn’t like overly posed styles, we realized we didn’t actually have many photos of all of us together, so went looking for help. We came across Linda’s portfolio online and fell in love. Her ability to capture natural family dynamics is met by her eye for light, color, and composition- the result is absolutely gorgeous, glowing, natural photographs that feel true to the subjects. We are so grateful to Linda for her work and her care- her warmth and humor put us at ease, and her thoughtful approach to customer service ensured we ended up with a custom photography package we adore. We now plan to come back every year- thank you so much, Linda!!

Linda is an absolute delight to work with! Our family photo shoot was so relaxed and captured so many beautiful moments. I love that pricing is available upfront and per piece, without pushing a bunch of pricy packages. Linda worked to stay within my budget and every item I purchased is beautiful and exactly the thing I wanted. I look forward to working with Little Snaps again as my daughter grows up.

Maryland Maternity Photographer - Pregnant woman sitting on a bed
I cannot recommend Linda of Little Snaps Photography enough! Her photos of my husband and I while I was pregnant were exactly what I envisioned and I will treasure them for years to come. She uses natural light and simple backgrounds to keep the focus on the family. It is so obvious she loves what she does. She made the session so comfortable and was incredibly warm, friendly, and made us comfortable throughout the experience. She is professional and delivers an amazing product. I am SO glad we booked a session with Linda and recommend other families do, too. :-)

Maryland Newborn photographer - mom snuggling with her newborn
We loved working with Linda of Little Snaps Photography! She came to our house for a newborn photo shoot for our son. Throughout the shoot, Linda was very accommodating of a newborn schedule (feedings, etc) and our older toddler’s tantrums (Linda is great at singing Baby Shark to win a toddler’s heart!). It was fun to do a shoot with her because of Linda’s happy and upbeat personality, and the pictures turned out great! We are very happy with our experience.

Maryland newborn photographer  - mom cuddling baby on her chest, while dad kisses mom on the head
Linda is simply AMAZING!! She has an incredible eye to capture beautiful memories and is such a joy to work with! We are so glad we trusted her to capture our newborn photos and this year’s family holiday photos - they all came out wonderfully. We just love her natural style - she makes amazing pictures look effortless. She had great location recommendations for our Christmas card pictures and we could not be more please with how they came out. Her patience, love, and joy make family pictures a fun time - especially with a little one! We truly look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Linda!
