MEET HEATHER

I always knew I would be in a creative field. There was never any other choice for me. My career began in the fashion industry, working in the buying offices for a major fashion retailer and then as a marketing director for a smaller retail boutique chain, managing photo shoots and catalog designs. Later, I made a pivot out of retail and became an art director for a publisher, working on photo shoots, layouts and designs for several magazine titles. Those experiences taught me so much and have proved invaluable in preparing me to be a creative business owner.

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 20 years now specializing in exquisite weddings and timeless portraits. I’m also a published commercial and editorial photographer with a focus on lifestyle advertising, travel & hospitality and interiors.

At my roots I’m a southern girl from Birmingham, Alabama, and now reside in Franklin, Tennessee. My greatest joy is being Mom to two amazing kids – one in college and one in high school. My third child is our chocolate lab Scout who’s my hiking buddy and shadow. I’m also a certified fitness instructor and over the last 30 years have taught just about every group format. I’m passionate about the benefits of pilates, HIIT and strength classes. I swear that a good sweat is creative juice and gives me the energy I need to juggle all the things. 

Travel makes my soul sing with with inspiration. It’s a privilege and pleasure when my clients invite me to document your lives in beautiful places that hold meaningful memories, whether that be stateside or abroad. I have photographed for clients all over the United States as well as France, London, and Nova Scotia, among others. My passport is always current to travel wherever you desire your love story to be told or your portraits to be captured.

I love my job, the places I go, and the incredible people that come into my life because you ask me to document your stories with my lens. I can’t imagine doing anything else, so I keep chasing the light.
