I am not one who typically enjoys getting pictures taken of myself, but Heather made me feel comfortable and explained the plan so that I was able to know what to expect prior to our session.

I would recommend Heather to anyone interested in getting professional, beautiful pictures taken. Heather is very organized, personable, and a great photographer!

She did my grad session and I loved every second!!!
