Published Photographer
I'm Heather.
Vibrant photography around the country.
I tell my clients “I’m a six-foot redhead, you can’t miss me!" Before I started my photography business I was a preschool teacher, which has now given me 25+ years experience working with children.
Based in Athens, Georgia, I'm a SIGMA America Ambassador and an internationally known photographer that creates vibrant, dreamy images for clients around the world.

View my SIGMA Ambassador page
I am a current SIGMA America Ambassador. Although SIGMA produces several camera models, the company is best known for producing high-quality lenses and other accessories that are compatible with the cameras produced by other companies. SIGMA is the world's largest independent lens manufacturer. I've used SIGMA lenses for my entire career, and exclusively since 2015. They're (IMO) the fastest and sharpest lenses on the market.
