to be captured just as they happened.
moments deserve
beautiful
Your life's big, bold &
I know you’re probably worried you’re going to be awkward in front of the camera, but I promise, you can have FUN getting your picture taken. It’s my mission to capture the real stuff anyway it happens—the way you really laugh, the way your partner looks at you, and the way your littles throw their hands up and dance.
I’ll be your biggest cheerleader and loyal, all-in creative who knows how to capture you in your most authentic moments. And hey, I’ll even thread a needle, straighten the florals, and wrangle good ol’ Uncle Joe into that group shot you want, all in one go.
Listen, we’re not celebrating just one day—we’re really celebrating the incredible life you’re living.
I’m what I like to call a “COVID-born photographer.” I didn’t lose my job during the pandemic—I just had a little extra time to figure out what I actually loved doing. So, in 2020, I picked up a camera, gave it a shot (pun intended), and fell head over heels for the whole process.
By 2022, I said goodbye to my 9-to-5 to become a full-time mom and photographer (a dream come true!). It was a leap of faith, but the idea of balancing life with my two kiddos and doing work that felt meaningful just made sense. Now, here I am: a creative, high-energy, Enneagram 4w3 who thrives on connecting with people, capturing their unique stories, and embracing the beautiful unedited versions of life.

Hi, I’m Heidi—I'm the creative behind the lens, and I'm so excited to meet ya!
I’m thriving in this sweet spot between capturing life’s big moments and living out my own.
let's meet irl
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m chasing after my 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, sipping iced coffee with my college sweetheart-turned-husband, and hunting for one-of-a-kind thrift store treasures, all in the heart of Minnesota. My faith is at the center of everything I do, and it’s what inspires me to pour my heart into helping couples like you (and families like yours) celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Trust me, I know just how important it is to document the moments that feel like they’re flashing right before your eyes (because I feel the exact same way). But I’m here to capture those fleeting moments for you, so you can look back and remember what makes your story so uniquely yours.

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. She was so fun and made different poses feel so natural. 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!
“I can’t say enough great things about Heidi!”

To anyone who is looking for a hardworking, quality photographer who has great people skills and is incredibly organized look no further! This Gem helped to make my wedding go smoothly, with help organizing the day, types of photos to be taken and emotional support the day of wedding.
"Heidi is upbeat, thorough, considerate and incredibly talented."

Do not hesitate to book Heidi for your wedding!! Heidi not only turned the beautiful moments of our wedding day into art, she also brightened the experience for us with her humor, personality, and professional direction … and we feel beyond lucky that we get to cherish her photos for years to come!
“We would work with Heidi a million times over.”
