Images for the growing seasons.
For a life well lived and well loved.

Ohio Family & Lifestyle Photographer

Warm, bold, true-to-life family and newborn photography in Toledo, Ohio.

Photos that feel lived-in, full of heart, and a little bit like home.

Life has a funny way of moving faster than we want it to, doesn't it? One minute you’re soaking up newborn snuggles, wiping sticky hands, chasing your kids through the backyard, or realizing senior year is somehow already here.

That’s what I love most about photos.

They let us hold onto the growing seasons. The everyday sweetness, the laughter, the love that lives right in front of you. The kind of memories that feel ordinary now, but will mean everything later.

So let’s capture it. Warm, real, lived-in, full of heart.

You bring your people. I’ll take care of the rest.

Let’s bottle up time together.

For the growing seasons

I’m a mom, an iced coffee enthusiast, and the person behind the camera who truly loves capturing the kind of photos that feel like real life.

The growing seasons. The at-home love. The newborn days, the family chaos, the quiet in-between sweetness you never want to forget.

My sessions are relaxed, natural, and full of gentle guidance. No stiff posing, no pressure to perform, and definitely no needing to have it all together.

Just you and your people, exactly as you are, with photos that feel warm, bold, and lived-in.

I'm Heidi.

Hey friend!

Your Family and newborn photographer

- Ashley

We booked Heidi for newborn photos last fall. She nailed it, so we were very excited to have her take family photos again this fall. Her photography feels so natural and she captures the little candid moments so well.

She is so lovely, patient with kiddos, and obviously very talented. And she is great at making two very non-photogenic people comfortable in front of the camera! Highly recommend and can’t wait for more family photo sessions in the future!

"She nailed it!"

I can’t say enough great things about Heidi Emerick Photography! Heidi was so communicative and responsive as we were coordinating the session. During the session, she was very professional and had a whole list of things for us to do for the photos. Her turnaround time for getting the previews and photos to us was so fast and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! I would highly recommend doing photos with her!

“Heidi was so fun and made different poses feel so natural.”

- Rae

Cannot recommend Heidi enough! So sweet, so funny, so effortlessly cool. She did a great job of putting my husband and I at ease and feeling comfortable in front of the camera. She was so empathetic, kind and calm as she helped me through a brief midday meltdown, and I really appreciated how well she handled our complicated extended family situation. I cried when I got our preview back, and I cried even harder when I got the whole lot — they were so perfect. Crisp, clean, organic, full of joy. Just the way I had imagined. Heidi was such a wonderful part of our wedding journey, HIRE HER!

"So sweet, so funny, so effortlessly cool."

Let's have some fun together!
