Hi, I’m Heather — a Charleston photographer with over 20 years behind the camera, and I still love what I do just as much as when I started. I’m a mom to my son, Jacob, a lifelong horse girl (my heart horse is The Great Gatsby, a retired racehorse with plenty of personality), and dog mom to my Border Collie, Tyra Banks. I’m originally from Atlanta, but Charleston has been home for the past 14 years, and it truly feels like where I belong.

I serve clients throughout Charleston, Beaufort, and Hilton Head Island, as well as North Florida including Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Ocala, and coastal Georgia — Savannah, St. Marys, and Cumberland Island. I also travel for destination photography.

Photography has always been about people for me. My work is rooted in storytelling and creating something authentic — images that feel natural, honest, and true to who you are. I love meeting new clients and photographing weddings, women’s portraits, equestrian and pet portraits, headshots and branding, boudoir, and food photography.

My goal is simple — I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and proud of your photos. The kind you hang on your walls, keep in albums, and look back on years from now with a smile.
