Meet the Photographer | Salt Lake City, Utah

I have loved Photography ever since I can remember but it was not until early 2011 that I really started to learn the ins and outs of the business and put my heart and soul into creating my images. I finally had the time to sit and learn and I had the help from a wonderful friend (Shell) who had/has the patience for me in helping me to learn and grow along with a few others that have taught me so much. I give them all a special Thank You.

I have been with my husband for a little over 7 yrs; we have been married since July 2010 and I have 3 beautiful step-children.

I am an On Location Portrait Photographer in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I am a unique person with a unique eye and I bring those out in your images.

I shoot with a Canon 60D.

                                                        Top Ten things you most likely did not know about Heather:

1.      I believe Goofy is grossly neglected.  In my humble opinion, he is the greatest Disney character ever!  One of the proudest moments in my life is when I met him and he kissed my Goofy tattooed foot.  I may or may not have washed that foot since that proud moment. 

2.      I love kids.  I love even more to treat kids as mini-adults.  Nothing makes me laugh more than an in-depth philosophical discussion on the matters of the universe with a three-year old.

3.      I have been told that I swear a lot.  I don’t know what the %@#@& they’re talking about. 

4.      I didn’t always want to be a photographer.   As a child, I used to lay in the grass, staring happily at the clouds, and dream of one day becoming….a Juvenile Probation Officer.   

5.      I am such a Dallas Cowboys fan; I will hang up on Telemarketers if I even hear a Philadelphia accent. 

6.      The passing of my Grandmother in 2010 is what brought photography more into my life.  I have a 16x20 portrait of her that I blew up from a wallet.  Her passing made me realize the power of a loved one’s portrait can have over you.

7.      I have two half-brothers, two stepbrothers, one adopted brother and two adopted sisters.   When you’ve got this much love to give, it’s hard to contain not to share it with the world.

8.      I am fiercely protective of my family and friends. This is great, if you’re a member of my family.   If not…well, I can always plead temporary insanity.

9.      Would you be surprised if I told you I was very shy?

.10   I don’t pass judgment but I don’t understand non-tattooed people.   I don’t mean to, but sometimes I pass them in the market and I can’t help but stare.  What were they thinking when they left their palace undecorated like that?  It is just a culture I don’t understand. I mean, don’t they realize their decision to not get a tattoo at nineteen years old is something they will have to live with with for the rest of their lives?  Do they even think of themselves covered in wrinkles and age spots? I just don’t get it….
