"While I have owned my own photography business for over eight years, I know for certain that in this business, you are always learning and growing and pivoting. The photography business has changed so much since I began, and I felt I needed the assistance of someone I knew who had successfully been doing all of these things and more.

During a handful of in person sessions with Heather, she asked me questions that I had not even thought about asking myself. She not only reviewed some of the basics with me, she also pointed me in the right direction to start down a more focused path to become a more successful photographer and business owner. She is not only a great communicator and teacher, she is also a great friend! "

"I really appreciate all the help Heather has been to me since I first started out with my photography business. She has mentored me as far as using different settings on the camera as well as different ways to edit my images to really make a difference. In addition, all the encouragement Heather has given me to pursue my photography business over the years has been invaluable.

She has also helped steer me in the right direction with marketing myself better through the use of social media. I’m very grateful for all the help Heather was to me in mentoring me recently in creating my own website. She was an excellent instructor that took the time to make sure it turned out the way I wanted it to. I love the results!!

Heather has been invaluable to me over the years with great advice that has helped my business be a success. "

i cannot wait........

My goal in these courses is to help you see that Dance Photography is a beautiful collaborative effort between two artists.  The dancer brings the art and technique of dance while you bring the art and technique of photography - an exchange of ideas and information creates a new art medium - Dance Photography.

My hope for you is that these courses are one part understanding photography, one part understanding dancers and movement, and one part inspiration and motivation!  My goal for you is to always look for beautiful light and beautiful moments, prompting them when necessary and capturing them as authentically as possible in your own unique way. You are here to make a beautiful impact!

I truly want you to experience the beauty, the healing, the life-fulfilling journey that photography has become for me and those around me. I will show you my exact methods and framework that I used to build my business to what it is today. 

I look forward to going on this journey with you inside "The Art of  Dance Photography".  

xoxo,

Heather

Hey there, I'm Heather and welcome to my little corner of the internet!  I believe in real moments and the kinds of images that not only tell a story, but take you back to a certain moment in time and make you FEEL something. I believe in portraits that are just itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for generations to enjoy, not lost on your phone or worse, left floating alone in the cloud.
