meet HEIDI

Let’s get to know each other.

I’m a born and raised Montana girl living with my husband and 2 boys in Oregon. I love the mountains but can’t live without the ocean.

My original career of choice was accountant but after 9 years of crunching numbers, I decided to follow my heart and my passion.  

I love to travel to new places and especially love exploring the Oregon Coast. I cherish the vintage cameras I inherited from my Grandpa and the memories they hold. I’m a middle child between 2 awesome sisters.

“Not only does Heidi have such a passion for photography, but she also provides UNMATCHED customer service.”

Fact 01

My love of photography began at an early age and the passion only grew with the birth of my 2 sons.

My absolute favorite photos are the ones where people forget that they are being photographed. I love the real smiles and the honest connections.

I love looking back at the forgotten moments or the moments and the people that existed before my time. I’m grateful for the tangible photos of my parents and grandparents when they were young. Our photos are my most prized and priceless possessions.

Fact 02

I am obsessed with whales.

My home office is full of whale photos, whale ornaments, whale books, and all sorts of whale trinkets. I would be happy if I spent every single day on a boat photographing whales in the wild.

Fact 03

When I’m not taking photos of awesome clients, you can usually find me watching my boys on the baseball field, football field, or basketball court. Or perhaps you could find me searching for sand dollars at low tide, or camping with my husband, our boys, and our German Shepherd puppy. 

Oh, and my last name? It’s pronounced “Hay-fee.”

“Heidi is a wonderful and kind photographer to work with. She’s been photographing our family for years! She makes you feel so comfortable, puts your mind at ease and captures the most authentic smiles and natural shots. I highly recommend her.”

about you

You want to marry the one you love and value the intimate connection with just your closest family and friends. 

Or perhaps you want to elope with just the two of you (I can be a witness too!).

You want to remember a particular time with your family in the beauty of the PNW.

Together we will create a session or intimate wedding with the things that are most important to you.

I want you to look back on your photographs and feel transported back to that time and place in your life.
