Heather - Founder and Lead Portrait Photographer

ABOUT

I'm Heather!

More than a vendor: my hope is that we become friends.

I aim to tell your story by capturing the grand moments along with the quiet, intimate ones. As a lifestyle photographer my goal goes beyond a good photo. It's about creating an experience.

I want you to look back and remember the sparkle in your loved one's eyes, how soft your baby's skin felt against yours, the way it felt to walk hand in hand with your child.

The moments are fleeting, but the memories will last a lifetime.
