I travel to teach a lot with my lens company (SIGMA Lenses) and I think my most popular photography classes are my dancer classes. I always go over a quick educational bit in the beginning about how to get good dancer photos and what makes a good ballet pose. I talk about turnout and winged […]

I teach classes for other photographers, and a lot of those classes are hands-on demonstrations in which I talk about exactly how I run a photo session. Obviously, I need models in front of the camera, so for the classes I teach I have to go find a child or family or a dancer for […]

As a photographer, it’s sometimes hard to find the PERFECT studio space for photography clients. For maternity sessions, I need a big area with enough room for a nice backdrop and big light. For newborn sessions, I want a smaller area to heat up for the baby and have my props nearby. With small babies […]

July has been a very slow month for me, mostly just prepping for a big studio move. I bought plants for my garden and went looking at plants in the botanical garden with friends. I laughed at my cat, had fun with the girl I nanny after school, and then had to make sure I […]

This fabulous young man is my honorary nephew, and his mom flew me up to Glastonbury CT to do his senior pictures and document his high school graduation. He’s going to college at the University of Connecticut, so we did his senior portraits on the school campus. Go Huskies! I had to get one of […]

June was an absolutely insane month of travel for me. I was actually away from home more than I was here for June. It started with a trip to Glastonbury CT to see my honorary nephew graduate high school and do his graduation and senior pictures. I was home for about a week after that […]

I’m Heather, a 6-foot redhead with a camera who believes in fairytales.  Years ago, with my Early Childhood Degree under my arm, I became a lead instructor in a classroom with eleven 2-year-olds. It was loud, chaotic, and messy, and I absolutely loved it. During the day, I often took photos for the parents so […]

I was in Philadelphia in June at the Philadelphia flower show for Unique Photo teaching a class on fairies and I ended up with this absolutely perfect little model for that class. She is utterly delightful and brilliant in every way possible. She is a professional model and working her way into the movie industry. […]

most of you know I am a fairy photographer. Heck, I am Fairyography! It’s my entire brand. However, I do a lot of non-fairy pictures as well. I do maternity, newborn, baby’s first year, and family photos that have nothing to do with fairies. This little girl is a twin. Her twin loves fairies and […]

In May, it was a really emotional month for me. The Botanical Gardens here had an absolutely glorious month. full of roses and foxgloves. I think the prettiest I’ve seen the rose garden ever! I flew out to Seattle to teach but I picked Seattle because my sister lives there and I haven’t seen her […]
