Hey!! I’m Heidi!

We have some new people to the page so it’s time to give you the ice-breaker version of who I am. ☺️

1. I love animals, especially anything soft fur or has a big personality. Dogs and horses are at the top of my favorites.

2. I live for pretty light. Early summer mornings, fall evenings or even that weak, watery light in the spring. I can just sit in my chair on the porch and soak it in.

3. My family consists of my outdoorsman husband, my classic eldest daughter, my sweetheart boy and his wild side twin sister. Oh and Princess Emmie, our Bassett.

4. I edit wherever I can. They made laptops and SSD hard drives to be taken darn near anywhere.

5. Though I’m no daredevil (we don’t need to hasten the end, it’s coming anyway), I do like to go on adventures and try new things.

6. Ahhh, my porch. The place where I can hit the reset button, have long conversations with my kids and wave to friends and neighbors. I truly believe we would all be better off if we spent more time on a front porch with a cool beverage and no phone.

7. I love to laugh and to hear others laugh. Big belly laughs where your cheeks hurt and often you forget why you started laughing in the first place.

8. Traveling with my kids is one of the best things I’ve ever done. They get to see and try new things, get out of their comfort zone and enjoy the world God has created. I hope to take them out of the country at some point but America is so beautiful and diverse, we still have a lot left to see and experience here.

Hi. I’m Heidi. 👋

Mom of three. Cheer coach. Photographer who will not let you sleep through the most memorable photos of your life.

I do senior portraits for girls who actually show up- hair done, confidence up, images that look like the neat version of them. Not stiff. Not generic. Not forgotten on an iPhone or Google Drive folder.

Every session includes professional hair and makeup, personalized outfit guidance, and my full attention. I keep my books small on purpose. You’re not a number here.

Class of 2027: senior year is here. Summer dates are going. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Don’t look back and wish you’d done this differently. Link in bio.

Congratulations to Dylan and Jonathan! They will graduate this weekend from Putnam County!

These guys (and their families) were a blast to get to know! I hope their senior year has been one to remember. I hope as they go out into the world, they continue to be outstanding human beings with a genuine curiosity about life and remain well-rounded in all things.

POV: I’m your senior photographer and I can order you custom products ( like these new mini snapshots) to show off all those images you planned for months (let’s be real girlies, maybe years!) The magnetic frame keeps the snapshots protected while showing them off on you can give to friends to trade! You can even add them to your grad announcements!

The right outfit can take your grad pics from basic to timeless- and trust me, what’s under the gown matters too.
Here are my top tips for looking your best:
🎓Choose something that feels like YOU
🤍White dresses+classic outfits always photograph beautifully.
👔Keep it polished, simple and comfortable.
👟Don’t forget your shoes- they will show!
✨Add personal touches like college gear, cords or sashes.
💄Keep hair+makeup soft and camera-ready

Avoid overly busy patterns, big ruffles and “too short to sit in” dresses and skirts.

Your senior session is about celebrating YOU and everything you’ve accomplished-so wear something that makes you feel amazing.

Save this for your senior photos planning.📷
Send it to who needs outfit help!

What you wear can completely change the feel of your photos—and the right outfit makes everything easier ✨
For dresses, I always recommend two directions:
• Short + styled — think cute, flattering, and easy to move in (not too short—you’ll want to sit, walk, and pose without worrying)
• Long + flowy — dresses that move with you create that effortless, elevated look in photos
Movement is everything. The more your outfit flows, the more natural your poses will feel—and that’s where the magic happens.
If you’re constantly adjusting, pulling, or second-guessing your outfit, it shows. When you feel confident and comfortable, it shows even more.
Choose pieces that let you move, sit, twirl, and just be—that’s what creates images that feel like you.
Trust me on this one 💫
