photographer for all of life's biggest moments.
here for the in between and none of the "cheese".
I'm heather
ope, hey
I have had a camera in hand for about as long as I can remember. Taking in my surroundings and the people in them has always been something that's been important to me.
As your photographer, I will capture absolutely everything; the in between, the sideways glances, the toddler finger-hand holding, the giggles and all the special moments shared between you and your family members during your session.
I put my heart and soul into every single one of my sessions. Your moments matter to me.
I am always down for creative ideas-- let's rent a boat, have a picnic in a parking garage, go roller skating or surfing. You name it, let's do it.
As a mother myself, I know the stressors that come with having family photos taken. That's why I send every client a session guide outlining everything from styling to color palettes to what to expect at their session.
I offer custom professional prints so that your photos can be artfully displayed in your home or gifted to loved ones.
you can't spell photographer without "her"

I used to be
a classroom teacher. I homeschool both of my boys and have a deep love for all things education.
The photos I capture at your session will be 100% you and your loved one's truest moments. This will look like very little posing directions and instead a lot like you guys just doin' your thing. I like to put you in the good light and just let you be yourselves and be natural. That's where the magic is.
true
It's the sideways glances, the subtle touches, the toddler-finger-hand-holding and all the baby toes. I will be snapping pictures of all the intimate moments that make up your memories, which means you will rarely be looking into my camera and instead be looking into the eyes of those you hold closest.
emotive
It is beyond important to me that you feel your moments frozen in time when you look at your final gallery. Being able to not just see an image but to hear the laughter that was happening, to feel the embraces of those you love and to smell the salt water in the air... that encapsulation of time so beautifully documented and treasured for years to come.
