My dad bought me my first film camera, a purple Mickey Mouse plastic box of magic, from Bass Pro Shop when I was 5 years old. I loved going to drop off the film at the little 24 hour hut in a parking lot in Oklahoma City (where I grew up), and the thrill of picking up the prints, I loved the feeling that I had created and caught something really special.
In high school, I always had a camera in my hand, usually those disposable cardboard wonders. I studied photography in college, all film and dark rooms. I was in love. I bought my first digital camera when I was 21 and started doing photos for family and friends.
Fast forward through lots of learning, branding, websites, all the things, and hundreds of people trusting me later: now I have a photography business that I love and am very proud of that I have owned and operated for 14+ years.

hey, I'm heather

I love being in the room at an event or gig and learning something new about a profession, organization, or just people. It has changed my photography business, but it has also changed me.
Our worlds can get very small, and before we realize it, we only listen to the same kinds of people in our own life orbit. Listening to speakers, performers, teachers, instructors, and leaders from all pockets of humanity has really deepened my love for all people, and given me more empathy and openness.
