About Me


Hello and Welcome to my Page!
My name is Heather. I am a stay at home mom, a full time student and an avid Photographer!
I have recently taken my passion and hobby one step further by offering my talents as a Photographer to more than just friends and family!
I decided to make this page so that I may showcase my passion, and now business, without boring people with my personal gushes over my son, husband, and school. However, you are more than welcome to befriend me on a more personal note by requesting to add my personal page as well.
My love for photography began as a smal child. I loved using my parents polaroid camera and was ecstatic to receive my first disk film camera, yes disk film, in elementary school. I was using my parents long skinny one up until then. I was able to take a darkroom class with the use of my dad's Canon T70 SLR in middleschool and went on to use it again for 2 more classes in HighSchool. (my dad has a knack for photography as well and taught me at a young age)
The rest is history, so they say!
I strayed from my intended career of Photojournalism when I moved to VA. I met a guy that was very in VWs and thus I too began to love them.. going on to own 5. My passion for VWs was strong.. yet I still had that passion with the camera and was the one that snapped countless pictures of all of the cars within our club.
The birth of my son renewed my passion as I was never too far from him and the camera was never too far from me. I have taken this passion for photography and children and started, with the help of my moms club, to make some money taking family portraits as well as childrens portraits.
My Style of Photography? Candid Photojournalist PortraitureI love when people enjoy looking at my work as I am proud of it. I love to share other peoples stories and happy photos with others, which is why I blog my shoots.. even if I just look at someones happiness in a photo.. it is still contagious. Taking photographs makes me happy and I hope that happiness is brought to the viewer as well.
Anyway.. enough about me.. hang out.. check out my most recent work via my blogs
