What an AMAZING photographer!! Heather made us feel so comfortable and photogenic in front of the camera . We are still in awe how she could take so many great photos . Heather went above and beyond in letting us incorporate our furry child into our engagement photos, and was very affordable, especially given the quality of the end result. If only we lived closer to Charlottesville - Heather would be our go-to photographer. She's AWESOME!
"Heather felt more like a friend than a vendor, and it shows in the pictures."
Kelsey & Chris
Her photographs are STUNNING—She finds a way to capture beautifully candid, intimate moments; has an artistic, creative eye for backgrounds, poses, and editing; and an approachable, calm, professional yet laid-back quality during sessions that made us feel comfortable and ourselves. She is quick to communicate with clients, flexible with working our our schedule, and just fun to be around!
"I never thought my fiancé and I were photogenic until I saw Heather's portraits."
MaryShea & Nick
Heather has been such an amazing person to work with! She takes beautiful pictures with a light, airy quality to them that… and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She is great at balancing giving you guidance when you need it and letting you do your own natural thing. We would 100% hire Heather again!
"The photographer was the NUMBER ONE most important vendor for our wedding"
Chiara & Chris
Heather was absolutely fantastic in every way. She expertly guided our family and friends through a set of posed shots that made it fun and easy for everyone; perhaps most importantly her photos were better than anything that we had hoped for! We cannot wait to displaying her images in our home for decades to come!
"Heather was on our team at every moment and what she captured was utterly us,"
John + Melissa
We can not say enough how comfortable Heather made us feel... She was so easy and fun to be around! Her ability to capture amazing lighting, shadowing, and natural poses was incredible!!! We will cherish the beautiful shots she captured for a lifetime and recommend her a million times over!
"My husband usually hates taking pictures, after the wedding, he said Heather was his FAVORITE vendor!
Robin + Hunter
Book your Destination Session!
I have such a love for exploring new places, and putting my toes in the sand OR snow! My packages include complimentary travel for local session up to 60 miles from Richmond. Although additional travel fees may apply for my destination sessions, I LOVE to include bonus photo coverage for rehearsals, welcome parties, or wedding weekend events to document the entire celebration!
A few of my recent destination sessions include the California Coast, New Hampshire countryside, Washington State Mountains, Eastern Shore Waterfront, and Historic Charleston...
If you have a dream location in mind, we'll make it happen! No joke, I've photographed a wedding on a moving boat, backpacked through Mt. Rainier National park, went off roading in cow pastures, and reminisced on campuses with college sweethearts!
