Meet Heather

...a newborn and family photographer with Midwestern roots and a Southern heart. I was born and raised in Chicago, but fell in love with a charming Texan, and have been married to him for 19 years. Somewhere along the way, I traded snow boots for sweet tea and never looked back.

Now fully immersed in the timeless beauty and refined traditions of Southern life, I draw inspiration from its warmth, elegance, and effortless grace. My greatest joy? Our three children—Oliver (13), Graham (10), and Heidi (8)—who are the heart behind everything I do.

I’ve had the joy of photographing hundreds of families and newborns. Whether I’m capturing a child's sweet curls, the softness of newborn cheeks, or the tiniest toes, my goal is always the same: to create a refined, stress-free experience—and deliver imagery that will be treasured for years to come.

Memories

What I love Most:

I was 15 and picked up my dad's 1970s Minolta film camera. It wasn't long before my friends began asking me to do sessions for them. After high school, I attended Baylor University with plans to study Photography, but I had a change of heart before even taking my first class. Instead, I pursued Architecture, believing it to be a more stable career path. Looking back, I laugh about that decision.

After graduating, I spent seven years designing fire stations and enjoying the field of Architecture. But when my oldest son was born, I found myself unable to put down my camera. I wanted to capture every detail of my precious baby boy. That's when I made the decision to stay at home with him, learn everything I could about photography, and pursue my dream career.

Now, as a family of three, I continue to document our lives and strive to create beautiful photographs for my clients. I believe that every photograph tells a story and showcases the love and joy shared between families.

My journey began when...

1 of 2

I met my husband my Sophomore year at Baylor University. We attended church together, and since I didn't have a car and needed a ride to church one week, he offered to drive me. This is where it all began. We had a great time chatting on our drive to church, but I was naïve and didn't realize he liked me until he sent me flowers a few days later. I remember having no idea who the flowers were from. After that, we dated for two more years, some of it long distance, as my Architecture degree required me to do my Senior year at Washington University in St. Louis. This is where he proposed. He flew up Easter weekend to visit me, and honestly, I knew it was coming. I only saw him every other month, and we had talked about getting married the summer after we graduated so he was really running out of time. We took a picnic lunch at the picturesque Forest Park in St. Louis. If you've never been to St. Louis, it is basically a smaller version of Central Park in NY. We sat in front of a fountain where he asked me to marry him. I, of course, said "YES!" Our wedding was held at a beautiful library on Baylor's Campus, and now here we are, 17 years into our marriage, and I would do it all again!

Family is where we find love and support and create memories that last a lifetime. My goal, as a photographer, is to capture the essence of your family. From the joy and laughter of your children at play, to the quiet moments shared between you and your little ones. Photography reminds us of the love and connection that we share with our families. This is why I feel so privileged to be a family photographer. To me, it's not just a job, it's a calling. It's an opportunity to capture the beauty of the families I work with and to create images that will be treasured for generations to come.
