SWEET WORDS

“Heidi is easily the most comfortable photographer a family could ask for. She is so sweet and thoughtful and patient with kiddos that aren't into taking photos. She makes her shoots fun for everyone. And then when you get your photos back, you will sit in awe in the magic she was able to capture. A++++”

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

How do I book a photography session?

Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out through the contact page and let me know the type of session you're interested in. I'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session. A non-refundable is due upon booking. This amount will go towards your session.

What types of photography services do you offer?

Offering a wide range of photography services, including family photography, portrait photography, child photography, pet photography and more. I specialize in capturing meaningful moments that tell your unique story.

How do you edit?

I am a bold and vibrant lifestyle photographer. I love lots of natural light and deep golden tones. Images are edited for color, contrast and light, minor edits include skin scratch removal, slight eye brightening, skin texture smoothing +cropping with artful color grading through hand editing. 


Extensive editing such as head swaps, body manipulations, object removal and cosmetic edits are not a part of my editing process. I may be able to do certain requested edits for an additional fee outlined in my portrait agreement.

what are your sessions like?

I love to capture my sessions in a fun and candid style with subtle posing, no experience necessary! My wish is for everyone to feel comfortable, focused on the family and truly enjoy the time in front of my camera!

How long does a typical photo session last?

Portrait sessions typically range from 30-minutes to 90 minutes. I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes around 2 weeks, depending on the season, volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

Where is the shoot location?

All sessions take place at a public location. I service specific locations in Maricopa city, Chandler and Ahwatukee-Phoenix, Mesa & Gilbert Arizona.


*Travel fees and a Tonto Pass is required for lower salt river locations.

Do you offer unedited images?

Such a huge piece of my style and brand is the editing I do and giving unedited photos is handing over a half finished product. I don't want to give my clients anything less than my best! All images presented in the proofing gallery will be fully edited.

What do I wear?

Wardrobe choices make a huge impact on the final product. There are certain color choices and styles that elevate the session and that work really well with the time of day we shoot, and my personal style of shooting and editing. 

Consider careful color coordination with neutrals, warm colors and muted earthy tones, adding subtle patterns and accessories + textures to bring extra dimension to your images.

My biggest tip is to avoid wearing clothing with wording, graphics and bright colors as they are very distracting.

I love to work together in styling your session and provide a comprehensive style guide with helpful tips and tricks to make your session be all it can be!

Can I print from the gallery?

Purchasing prints is entirely up to you. I highly stress that not all print labs are the same and the results may be disappointing depending on who you choose to print with. The final outcome may not look anything like the original file and cost a lot of money in the long run to reprint.


I am happy to guide you through accessing the print shop through your gallery. There you will have access to beautiful quality products and the convenience of me completing your print order for you.

Utilizing the gallery print shop is the only way I can guarantee you will love your final prints!

When do you offer appointments?

Outdoor sessions are offered weather permitting and set 1-2 hours before sunset so images reflect and embrace the warm deeper vibrant warm tones of the desert. This time provides the most flattering lighting for images. This is the only time of day that I offer sessions.

(June-August no outdoor appointments available)


All appointment times and dates are very limited & reserved no later than 14 days ahead and are generally booked 2-6 months in advance.


Be sure to save your date!
