HI, I’M HEATHER
Always Exploring, Observing & Storytelling.
I believe the best photographs come from paying attention—to people, to relationships, and to the small moments that embody a personality.
With a background in photojournalism and years of experience in commercial photography, I approach every assignment with equal parts curiosity and intention. My goal is to create images that feel genuine and alive while giving my clients polished, purposeful photography they can truly use.
MY STORY
A career built around the unfamiliar.
Long before I photographed events, I was a photojournalist.
I spent years photographing news, portraits, food, sports, and everyday life—learning to walk into unfamiliar situations, connect with people quickly, and find the photographs that helped tell a larger story.
That experience still shapes the way I work today.
My career has since expanded into commercial photography, visual content production, and creative direction, but the part I love most has remained surprisingly consistent: observing people, solving visual problems, and creating photographs that communicate something real.
MY APPROACH
Real moments. Thoughtfully captured.
My style is rooted in photojournalism: observing carefully, anticipating moments, and allowing people to be present rather than constantly interrupting an event to manufacture photographs.
But documenting an event well requires more than simply being invisible.
I pay attention to the photographs my clients need—the key people, important details, room views, interactions, and defining moments that tell the complete story. I know when to quietly observe and when to step in, offer direction, or create a stronger image.
The result is photography that feels natural, polished, and complete.
BEYOND THE CAMERA
Curious By Nature.
Creative By Heart.
I'm endlessly curious and probably happiest when I'm learning something new, making something, or exploring a place I've never been. I love visual art, good food and wine, travel, unusual wildlife, and finding beauty in things other people might walk right past.
I have a weakness for making ambitious creative costumes, and will almost always notice the interesting light in a room before anything else.
What makes me different?
CALM UNDER PRESSURE
Timelines, dark rooms, crowded spaces and unpredictable moments are a part of event photography. I adapt and keep working.
PREPARED
I believe good photography starts before I arrive - with communication, planning and understanding your priorities.
EXPERIENCED
Decades of photographing events and portraits have taught me to anticipate what matters.
OBSERVANT
I notice the expressions, connections and small interactions that are easy to miss.
