The Experience
I accept a limited number of weddings and portrait shoots each year, offering bespoke collections to discerning clients who desire an exceptional and tailored experience. Partnering with your wedding planner to bring your vision to life, I pay close attention to the details...from preparation, travel planning and scheduling, to styling, lighting, photographing, editing, and finally design and delivery of images, prints and albums.
Each unique engagement, wedding day and portrait session is approached with an unobtrusive editorial style, focused on organic, candid captures as well as beautifully styled moments. I believe the most authentic images are created when you are fully present and connected with those around you.
From the beginning of my business, my desire has always been to create images that are as relevant in 50 years as they are today, so the photographs I deliver to my clients will always be timeless...edited in classic color and black & white. I also encourage every client to print your images. Whether fine art albums or wall prints, it's so important to leave a tangible, printed legacy of photographic memories to share with future generations.
Weddings & Elopements
Your love story artfully documented — authentic emotion, effortless portraits and beautifully styled details.
Custom-tailored collections include photography by Heather and her second photographer, your unique wedding day timeline planning, detailed travel plans and options for add-on coverage such as pre-wedding and post-wedding events and final prints and products crafted to your specific and unique desires.
Engagements
Pre-wedding portraits and engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to highlight your lifestyle in destinations where you connect and make memories. I also love when couples include your hobbies and interests in your imagery. I collaborate with you and your planner to get creative on locations, styling and fashion as well as art direct the shoot for the best possible images to tell your love story.
Portraits
My business is rooted in lifestyle portraiture. It's how it all began for me. For over 20 years I have captured couples, families, babies, kids, teenagers and graduates. Whether it be the big milestone moments, the everyday fleeting moments or professional and branding headshots, I'm happy to travel to any location that is an important part of your story.
Commercial + Editorial
I have years of experience as a storyteller, photographing brands for advertising campaigns and editorial stories for respected publications. With a background as a marketing director in the fashion industry and an art director for a magazine publisher, I understand full production, from concept and creative direction, to gathering a team, formulating a timeline, executing the photo shoot, post processing, retouching and final delivery of images.
