"Heather was absolutely amazing!
For a bride who is not the best at planning, Heather managed to know exactly what I needed and wanted. She was extremely professional and made sure that we got all of the pictures I wanted and more.
I am so happy we chose Heather."
I am all about capturing
Love, Laughter, and Life's Moments
Family EXPERIENCE
Whether it's you and your dogs, or a family of five, I would love to capture this moment in your lives in a fun and unique way!
My family portrait sessions are mostly outdoors and filled with fun & laughter. And for indoor sessions I have a studio conveniently located near City Center in Newport News.
Boutique portrait sessions are all-inclusive to help busy families capture the moments in their families lives in a fun and easy way. They include a complimentary consultation, personalized guidance, wall art design, posing advice, and more.
About 2 weeks after the session, we view the photos together (in my office or virtually) and I help you order heirloom quality artwork to decorate your home.
Treat yourself to a boutique portrait experience!
Maternity & Newborn Portraits
Major milestones such as maternity & newborn sessions are AMAZING because they capture the life moments that make up the beginning of your family story.
One of my favorite things about being a photographer is that I love getting to know each of my families. Watching the kids grow up, getting to know them, and capturing each milestone to remember is super important to me.
So I include a little extra pampering for these foundational sessions. I include a complimentary maternity gown rental, extra time for the newborn sessions, and complimentary Year One session for my families that book two sessions with me in their baby's first year.
And at every session I include a family portrait so you really get two sessions in one every time!
About 2 weeks after each session, we view the photos together in my Newport News studio and I help you order your favorites and create your baby's first heirloom.
Let's capture your baby's story!
Branding & Headshots
Branding sessions are PERFECT for taking your website and social media to the next level.
Whether you're looking to update your profile, get professional photos for your social media posts, or want to personalize your website by showcasing the person behind your business, I can help!
Studio headshots can be done at my studio or in your office in 30 min. or less and include your choice of backdrops and complete retouching.
Branding sessions are all about showcasing you & your brand in the best possible way. So we brainstorm the best locations, outfits, and even colors to make your session a success and help your business succeed. These sessions tend to be 1-4 hours depending on the variety you want.
And if you're not sure which is a better fit, I offer complimentary consultations so we can work together to figure out what you need and the best (and most cost effective) way to do it.

Licensed and insured, over 500 couples have trusted us to capture their wedding stories - and everyone has absolutely loved the experience.
You only get married once and I want to capture all the joy on your day & help things run smoothly and stress-free (so I have lots of smiles to photograph ;). So whether you need help with vendor referrals, the timeline, or how to get your fiance to smile, I'm here for you.

Senior Portraits
More than just a portrait session, my seniors get a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth bragging about to their friends.
Similar to my family portraits, seniors get an all-inclusive boutique portrait session anywhere they want. The session includes a complimentary planning session to tailor the session to their hobbies and interests, the option for multiple locations of their choosing, props, and more.
I am all about showcasing their authentic self and interests so we go WAY beyond just the cap and gown. With personal touches and locations, I create unique portraits that capture this major life milestone along with an unparalleled experience.
About 2 weeks after the session, we view the photos together in my Newport News studio and I help you order your favorites.
Let's make this a year to remember!
