For the seasons of life captured with warmth, heart, and honesty.

If you’re worried you’ll feel awkward in front of the camera, you’re not alone. Literally everyone starts there.
But I promise, this is not about stiff posing or forcing perfect smiles. We’ll keep it relaxed, we’ll laugh a lot, and you’ll walk away saying, wait… that was actually really fun.
I’m here for the lived-in stuff. The real laughs, the messy hair, the way your kids crash into your arms, the quiet sweetness of your growing season.
I’ll guide you through it all, hype you up when you need it, and capture the love that already belongs to you.
Listen, we’re not celebrating just one day. We’re really celebrating the incredible life you’re living.
I’m what I like to call a “COVID-born photographer.” I didn’t lose my job during the pandemic—I just had a little extra time to figure out what I actually loved doing. So, in 2020, I picked up a camera, gave it a shot (pun intended), and fell head over heels for the whole process.
By 2022, I said goodbye to my 9-to-5 to become a full-time mom and photographer (a dream come true!). It was a leap of faith, but the idea of balancing life with my two kiddos and doing work that felt meaningful just made sense. Now, here I am: a creative, high-energy, Enneagram 4w3 who thrives on connecting with people, capturing their unique stories, and embracing the beautiful unedited versions of life.

Hi, I’m Heidi. I'm the creative behind the lens, and I'm so excited to meet ya!
I’m thriving in this sweet spot between capturing life’s big (and little) moments and living out my own.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m usually chasing after my two littles, sipping an iced coffee with my college sweetheart-turned-husband, or hunting for the best thrift store find in Northern Ohio.
Faith is at the center of everything I do, and it’s what shapes the way I show up for the people I photograph, with so much heart, so much care, and a deep belief that the life you’re living right now is worth holding onto.
Because trust me, I get it.
I know just how important it is to document the moments that feel like they’re flashing right before your eyes (because I feel the exact same way). But I’m here to capture those fleeting moments for you, so you can look back and remember what makes your story so uniquely yours.

Heidi was so communicative and responsive as we were coordinating the session. During the session, she was very professional and had a whole list of things for us to do for the photos. She was so fun and made different poses feel so natural. Her turnaround time for getting the previews and photos to us was so fast and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! I would highly recommend doing photos with her!
“I can’t say enough great things about Heidi!”

To anyone who is looking for a hardworking, quality photographer who has great people skills and is incredibly organized look no further! This Gem helped to make my wedding go smoothly, with help organizing the day, types of photos to be taken and emotional support the day of wedding.
"Heidi is upbeat, thorough, considerate and incredibly talented."

Do not hesitate to book Heidi for your wedding!! Heidi not only turned the beautiful moments of our wedding day into art, she also brightened the experience for us with her humor, personality, and professional direction … and we feel beyond lucky that we get to cherish her photos for years to come!
“We would work with Heidi a million times over.”
My portfolio is filled with the real stuff. The belly laughs, the quiet snuggles, the wild toddler energy, and the love that lives right at home.
These photos are bold, warm, and true-to-life, focused on connection over perfection, and capturing your season exactly as it is.
You’re probably wondering if my style feels like a fit—and I totally get that.
