A Close Up With Heather

 

Specializing in capturing the moments, energy, and joy 

I believe that photographs are the heirlooms we leave behind for our children, their children and so on… Photos are the physical, tangible connection that links us to our past. As such I encourage my clients to display these cherished memories in coffee table albums, canvases and frames displayed on walls and mantles over the fireplace rather then staying stuck on our computer screens.

As an energetic and responsive photographer with experience in recording those tiny, barely perceptible moments that make life so joyful and exciting, my absolute favorite shoots are the ones where I can capture:

  • the wonder on a child’s face at their first taste of birthday cake

  • a family giggling and cuddling together 

  • the sparkle in the bright eyes of a high school senior looking toward their wide open future 

  • a gentle embrace of a newly engaged couple

When I’m not behind the lens you may find me paddle-boarding on one of Connecticut’s local lakes, riding my bike up hills or leading a yoga class out at a park. I’m an East Coast native with the soul of a southern Californian where we spent over 6 years before settling in New England. 

I welcome the opportunity to meet you and create these special moments for you and your loved ones!  Happy to talk by phone or meet for a coffee or tea in person.
