Women’s Portrait & Branding Photographer | Grand Rapids, MI


You don’t have to be photogenic.

You don’t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to look natural in front of a camera. That’s my job.

“I hate pictures of myself.”

I hear it all the time.

I’m awkward in front of the camera. I don’t know how to pose. I need to lose weight first. I never look like myself in pictures.

You don’t have to arrive confident. You don’t have to know what you’re doing.

You just have to show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

More Than a Photoshoot

Every experience is intentionally planned around you, from what you’ll wear and where we’ll photograph to the way I’ll guide you through every expression, movement and pose.

PLAN

We’ll create a session that feels like you.

EXPERIENCE

I’ll guide you through the entire process.

SEE YOURSELF

Walk away with photographs that feel confident, natural and unmistakably you.

What Clients Are Saying

Having Heather take my photos was nothing short of empowering and inspiring. She really made me feel comfortable in ways I never felt I could in front of a camera lens. I’m so grateful for the work she does for women in our community! If you’re feeling apprehensive, make the call. You won’t regret it! ~ Nisha

Such an amazing experience with Heather! Not only does she take terrific photos, but she is able to capture my inner beauty, my joy, and most of all my confidence! ~ Gail

I’m someone who is very uncomfortable having my picture taken, but Heather made my recent photo shoot so relaxed and enjoyable. She really took time to listen to what I wanted to get out of the shoot, and I felt like I was completely heard and seen. The shoot felt leisurely and not rushed – there was space made to try poses just for fun experimentation.
When I received my photos, I was elated. They FELT authentically me. I would definitely return to Heather in a heartbeat when I need professional images! ~ Catherine

Hi, I’m Heather

(The short one in the middle)

Photographer, connector and believer that every woman deserves to be seen.

After more than 16 years in nursing, I traded scrubs for a camera, but the heart of my work never really changed. I still get to help people feel seen, just in a completely different way.
