Photography is a journey.

Our journey together is to capture memories that are natural, timeless, and uniquely yours. From a genuine smile to life's candid moments. We will work together to capture those heartfelt moments you never want to forget and create beautiful portraits that will become family heirlooms. Together we are invested in each other to create photos that are priceless. So whether it is capturing a new chapter in your life, walking with you through a new season for your family or celebrating a milestone with you, I look forward to crafting a session that you will truly cherish for a lifetime.

I'm Heather !


I am so glad you are here! As your photographer, I want to be more than just a vendor – my hope is that through our journey of crafting your session and documenting your story, we become friends!

I aim to tell your story by capturing those grand moments, along with the more quiet and intimate moments of your life. I want to capture you as your true self — all the epic stories, laughs, and special memories that you will fondly look back upon for years to come.

As a lifestyle photographer my goal goes beyond just taking a good photo. It is about creating an experience. I want you to look back at your photos and remember how it felt when you saw the sparkle in your loved ones eyes, or how soft your babies skin felt pressed against yours, or the way it felt to walk hand in hand with your child.

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

Frequently Asked Questions...

HOW WILL MY PHOTOS BE DELIVERED?

Your photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos with the provided password, share the link with friends/family, share to social media, and order prints.

WHAT IS AN “ONLINE GALLERY"?

Once a gallery is ready, you will receive an email with a link to your online gallery. We use a website that is a useful and convenient way for you to view, download and share your photos. Your gallery link also provides a storefront that offers a variety of printing options ranging from digital downloads, standard prints, retouched prints, canvases, and products. Orders are processed through Mpix which ensures the best color and quality printing.

DO YOU EDIT ALL OF OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?

Yes! Many, MANY hours are spent going through EACH photo that is captured, selecting the very best from your session. Each photo is then hand-edited, adjusting what is needed to take the photo from good to great. I do NOT do any bulk editing or mass-producing using presets that are just copy and pasted. I make sure to take my time with your photos so that they will be family heirlooms for years to come.

DO YOU DELIVER EVERY IMAGE YOU SHOOT?

No, I do not. I eliminate duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, shots with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery. For example, because I shoot with low apertures, sometimes I take a few extra shots to make sure I have the perfect focus. I don’t expect you to have the expertise or the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus, so I spend hours doing that on my end. In another example, candid laughs and emotional tears are some of the best images from the day. Unfortunately, they can also yield some unflattering facial expressions at times. I might snap a few extras of any of these moments to make sure I have a great shot with the ideal expression for the moment.

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?

This all depends on the session that you book. For example you are given between 10 to 15 for a mini session and 25 to 30 for a newborn session. However, the gallery you receive will have more than these allotted images. This give you the chance to go through your gallery and select your favorites from your session. If you select more than the allotted number of images from your session, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional images for $5 per download.

DO WE GET THE COPYRIGHT OF THE IMAGES?

Once a gallery is delivered and images are downloaded, you will get a print release that gives you the rights to print and share your photos as you wish. Many people get this release confused with “Copyright.” Copyright simply means that Studio 8412 took the photo and that the rights of the photo remain with the photographer. However, you have the right to do with the photo as you wish. I do ask that if you share your photos on social media that you give Studio 8412 Photography credit.

DO YOU SHOOT SESSIONS ALL YEAR?

Yes! I love the outdoors and the crazy adventures that we get to go on. Whether it is playing in the snow to throwing rocks in the creek to walking through the pumpkin patch, there is no shortage of adventures to be had throughout the year. That being said, I also have a studio building in Carl Junction that gives me the flexibility of offering indoor sessions as well. This is especially ideal for newborns, milestones and first birthdays.

WHAT IS THE DEPOSIT?

The deposit amount varies per session. For example for a First Year package the deposit is $150 while the deposit for a family session is $100. The deposit is to save your date and is non-refundable. It is applied to the final amount which is due the day of the session, unless otherwise specified. Failure to show up for you agreed upon time, forfeits the deposit.

WHAT FORM OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

You will receive an invoice for every session scheduled in which you can pay directly with a debit or credit card. Alternative methods are accepted in the form of cash, check and Venmo at venmo.com/studio8412. If requested PayPal can be accepted, ONLY if payment is sent following the agreed upon method.

WHAT PROPS DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR NEWBORN SESSIONS?

While I am ALWAYS adding to my inventory of props that I have available for sessions, I have created an album on my Facebook page where I have posted a few pictures of some of the things that I have available. I have spent several years investing in props so I have LOTS available. You can view the album here. However, when planning your session, if you have a question about a prop that you don’t see posted, don’t be afraid to ask! I have lots of other things in my “stash” that I don’t have pictured and who knows, I might have what you are looking for!

IS A SMASH CAKE INCLUDED WITH FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSIONS?

Yes! Smash and Splash and "Original” First Birthday sessions all come with a special smash cake option made by Simply Thyme Homestead! These limited cake design options are provided at no charge. You also have the option to upgrade to a custom designed cake for an additional $30.

Testimonials

Rochelle

Heather did such an amazing job capturing precious memories of my newborn baby girl. I'm glad I drove 45 minutes to go to her studio. It was completely set up with everything and she took my ideas and props I brought and turned them in to the most beautiful photos. She was gentle and has such a way with babies. Highly recommend!! If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would.

Elizabeth

I have been using Heather for 6 years. She is one of the most patient photographers I have ever used. She always captures the most beautiful pictures. Also, her photos are of the highest quality, making it easy to blow up to larger sizes. I highly recommend Studio 8412 for newborn and family portraits.

Torre

Heather is the most friendly, laid back, and professional photographer you will ever meet. She is so sweet and SO good with newborns. She is also good with getting kids to smile! I never get one good picture of my boys and when they’re in front of her camera, she gets the best photos of them!

Whitney

I have been fortunate to work with a client who had food pictures done for his business. Heather's pictures are out of this world gorgeous. Literally some of the best food portraits I've seen done in my time working in advertising. Well done, Heather! Two thumbs up!
