I’m not selling you art to decorate your hallway.
We're creating a way for you to be remembered.
I used to think my job was to make you look "perfect."
But that's not what's important about photography
I thought it was about the lighting, the posing, and the retouching. I thought I was in the business of vanity.
Then, I lost dad and 8 months later my Grandmother.
And everything changed.
When I looked for photos of them, I found myself searching desperately for evidence. Evidence of their smile. Evidence of their love. Evidence that they were here, and that they mattered.
That is why I photograph you.
The photos weren't for posterity. They became a way to feel my father's love, to see my grandma smile, and relive the moments together.
Vanity fades.
Portraits fight against time.
Most photographers will sell you a digital file that gets lost in a cloud folder. I am here to create an heirloom.
My "Legacy Sessions" are not about stiff poses or awkward smiles. They are a rediscovery of who you are right now. I capture the authentic version of you—the version your family knows and loves.
These portraits capture facets of yourself beyond image. Maybe your love of color. Or your passion for cooking that made everyone gather round for holidays, birthdays, graduations. Albeit with gorgeous sets and wardrobe.
Because one day, this photograph won't just be a profile picture. It will be the most valuable thing your family owns. The link back to you.
LEGACY SESSIONS
What to expect
01. The Conversation We don't just shoot. We talk. I want to know your story, your scars, and what makes you you. We build a connection so the camera disappears.
02. The Session No rushing. No "smile for the camera." We take our time to find the real moments. We use shadow and light to create something timeless, and unique. Whether it's just you, or your whole family.
03. The Heirloom You aren't just buying pixels. You are investing in portraits designed to last for generations. Tangible proof of life for those you leave behind, and those you haven't met yet.
here are some more details
how much does it cost?
Your upfront investment is $500. This retainer secures your date, time and location. We will shoot in studio, and pick your images afterwords. Image files are sold separately to help you avoid overpaying for anything you don't want or need. I will go over specifics with you before we shoot.
what's included?
Digital photos are included in all the packages, with my top tier including mounted portraits ready for hanging. There are package bundles for QTYs of 5, 10, 20 images.
Besides the photos, I can also have Hair & Make-up on site. It's included in the retainer for 1 person.
Can we purchase additional images and upgrade to the full gallery?
Yes, you can add images a la carte after purchasing a package. I explain everything on our design call before the shoot day so there are no surprises when it comes to pricing.
how do we prepare for the shoot?
First, we have a discovery call where you decide if you want to book after I explain the full process. When you decide to move forward, and I have received payment, then we schedule a design call. This is the fun part where we decide on theme, props, colors, backgrounds--the whole customization of your session. Then there is nothing left but to take the photos!

"I hired B Haggerty Photography for my Getting Ready Bridal/Groom Photos after my photographer dropped out last minute. Bridget was amazing throughout the process, she just made it all feel like a walk in the park. If there is any photographer a Bride should have on the big day, it would be Bridget! Her work ethic and calming energy was refreshing to be around in the midst of the chaos. I would recommend her for any event big or small! As for her work: INCREDIBLE! Her photos were better than what I imagined and exactly what I wanted! Prior to the day, she had suggested a few ideas for morning photos, and I had also provided a few photos I wanted captured. She was able to cross it all off the list! She was able to captured the morning perfectly with a touch of added elegance and took photos from the moment she got there until I was in the car with my parents, driving away. She was without a doubt the BEST photographer I could have ever had that morning!"

"I love working with Bridget. I've hired her on two separate projects and she has consistently delivered stunning products. She and her team captured two events [...] delivered images quickly and efficiently. I look forward to working with her again in the near future!"

Don't wait until it's too late.
We always think we have more time to get the "good photos" taken. History tells us otherwise.
Let’s capture you. While we are both here to tell the story.
