I'm a wife, mother of three, and a photographer capturing life's most precious moments. When I am not behind the lens, you can find me spending time with my family. My daughter and I love doing art projects-especially watercolors. My two boys and I enjoy being active and have recently discovered a newfound love for pickleball. It's been an absolute blast! Join me on this journey as we navigate life's adventures together.
Throughout your session, my goal is to create an atmosphere where you can relax, be joyful, and feel deeply connected to your loved ones. I want to hear the sweet giggles of your children and see the genuine smiles on everyone's faces. How you feel during our session sets the foundation for how you will remember the memories that are captured, and that's why I'm dedicated to making it an enjoyable experience. With my skills and expertise, I'll freeze your family's love and laughter in moments that are both candid and timeless.
Let's have some fun together and craft beautiful photos that will be cherished for a lifetime!
A $350 non-refundable retainer (or $475 for extended family sessions) secures your spot on my calendar and covers the time I spend preparing for, photographing, and editing your images. The remaining balance will be due once you receive your gallery.
PRODUCTS AND PRINTS SOLD SEPARATELY
Your 30-minute portrait session is the perfect length for children. It gives them time to warm up and feel comfortable in front of the camera, but it's not so long that they get bored or restless. I'll guide you through the whole process and make sure we are having fun the entire time.
Within two weeks of your session, you will receive an online gallery with your proofs. You will then choose and pay the remaining balance for the collection that best fits your desires. All collections include digitals and a complimentary artwork credit. You will want these treasured memories to adorn your walls for years to come. Collection details can be found below.
Once you've made your selection of the digital images included in your collection, you'll receive an email with immediate access to download them. This will allow you to promptly start sharing these cherished moments with your family and friends.
Through your online gallery, you can select from a collecion of exquisite frames, high-quality prints, elegant linen albums, and beautifully crafted cards. I offer a complimentary in-home consultation with any artwork purchase exceeding $500. Your vision matters, and I'm here to make it come to life.
To ensure you receive your completed pieces promptly, your wall art, prints, and albums are delivered directly to your doorstep. Typically, most prints will reach you within just two weeks, while wall art and albums usually arrive within three weeks.
They are beautiful and, as always, you did a phenomenal job. I so appreciate how at ease you make our daughter feel.
"Phenomenal job"
Heather has captured so many beautiful moments of my babies! I’m so thankful to have found someone that my children like and enjoy spending time with.
"BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS"
"Oh my gosh, Heather!! I'm dead! You are magic!
"you are magic."
I suggest scheduling outdoor sessions within 1-3 hours of sunrise or sunset. It's important to consider when your children are happiest and work around that. While many photographers opt for golden hour, I actually prefer a slightly brighter time of day. It's a choice I've found results in dreamy, light and bright photos.

I will send you an online gallery with 25+ photo proofs. Take a moment to grab the tissues and cry tears of happiness, because your family is truly beautiful! From the gallery, you can select the digital package that best suits your needs. Each package includes high-resolution images.
I love helping my HHP families look their best in front of the camera and clothing can make a big difference. My style guide which I will send after booking has helpful tips on choosing clothing as well as links to some of my favorite stores.
Having photographed families for over a decade, I have found that a 20-30 minute session is ideal. Within this timeframe, I can quickly capture many family groupings while also ensuring enough time to help children feel at ease in front of the lens and to draw out genuine moments that create lasting memories for families.
I offer sessions in various settings: outdoors, at your home, or in a studio. When it comes to outdoor photography, I search for locations that meet certain criteria to match my signature HHP style. Depending on the season and time of day, I can suggest perfect outdoor spots where we can capture vibrant, love-filled photos with that light and airy feel.
Here we go! Depending on who you ask, this tends to be either the most stressful or the most fun part of the whole process (although I'm SO here to help you).
It's outfit time!
One of the analogies I use to describe photography is with...baking. (Yes, you read that right!) There are many photographers out there who have all kinds of different styles. It's like a bakery where you are choosing which cupcake you want. Again, I am honored you are choosing mine! Here is your part of the recipe we need so we can make the exact flavor you have chosen. I have a very specific style and strive to be consistent with my images so you know exactly what kinds of photos you will be getting from your session (dreamy, light, airy, classic, timeless, and glowy, if I do say so myself!).
So, let's get baking.
My aim when it comes to clothing, is to have it NOT distract from your faces and expressions! I want the focus to be solely on those dimples in your baby's cheeks, your son's freckles, your daughter's beautiful brown eyes. When you are wearing simple and timeless clothing, the attention isn't drawn to your clothing... but to those amazing features I just mentioned. This is a great thing! When you wear busy patterns, it competes for that attention and your eyes are naturally drawn there.
Perhaps you've noticed that mostly everyone on my website or instagram feed is wearing light colors. There is a reason for this! A photographer's best friend is light. Light is my "paint," if you will. I use it to get a very specific look. When you wear light clothing, the sunlight bounces around, reflects back onto your face and anyone who is around you, creating a beautiful glow. It flatters your skin - making it creamier, and hiding flaws. It also helps create the overall aesthetic of the photo.
Another reason I highly recommend light colors is that sunlight combined with vivid colors (such as really bright blues, neon yellows, etc) will make for an unnatural color cast on your skin. With the lighting I use, if you are wearing bright green and it reflects back onto your face (...and it will....) it can make you look slightly sick and we don't want that! I want to make sure your skin looks vibrant, healthy, and true to color.
