A note from Heather:

I absolutely love creating portrait art for clients. I am so blessed, this is how I get to spend my days! There is no better honor than when you trust me to create your family heirlooms or personal branding photos for your business or website.

Not only do I want you to be able to look at your photos & feel proud,
I want to take photos of your mother, your daughter(s), your sister(s), your best friend(s), your family, anyone who is important to you so you may have these memories to cherish, as we never know what tomorrow may bring.

I invite you to a consultation with me, so you can fully digest the unique experience I offer. Having your portraits taken, doesn’t have to be stressful. I am here to help, by giving resources for planning your session, offering a clean, calm space to document your moments, a client wardrobe, & taking the hassle of printing yourself, by designing & sourcing, a beautiful line of curated archival artwork pieces, to enjoy for generations.

The heirlooms I create for you will not only the topic of conversation for you & the guests in your home, but will showcase your legacy; sacred artifacts, able to be
cherished with moments relived, everyday on your wall, in your hands, & in your hearts.
