“We booked Heather to do my graduation photos this year. We were nervous because we live in Virginia and were going purely based on her portfolio, but we could not have been more pleased! Heather is kind, accommodating, wonderful with photo resistant toddlers, and so so gifted with her craft. We are thrilled with the results and genuinely had fun, even on a dreary rainy day. Would recommend her to anyone, but especially families with small children!
