The best gift you can give to your mom for her birthday or mother’s day is a sunset photo session on the beach! Heather’s birthday gift from her family was exactly that — and they got the most ideal sunset of all time on Indian Rocks Beach in St Petersburg, Florida!

New puppy addition to the family? A photo session is a must! Puppies in family photo sessions to a sandbar near Tarpon Springs are the kind that last a little longer and end up with the most photos in the gallery because your girl cannot narrow down faves among the mountain of cuteness.

There was actual screams of excitement when my dear friend Jenna called to tell me that she was pregnant. And as you can imagine, when it’s one of your besties sharing the news, it kind of makes your heart want to explode with happiness when she also asks if you would take photos for their announcement.
This spot on Fort DeSoto beach is not only iconic, it’s one of my favorites. The added rocky features give it something extra and the sunsets on the Gulf of Mexico are spectacular.
Jenna and Nate also wanted photos on this beach because it is one they frequented when they lived in St. Pete.

Heidi’s friendliness and professionalism are very clear from the start. I really loved working with her, and she always made us feel comfortable when we took photos. I knew when I got engaged that I wanted to invest in photography/videography and I wanted to make sure that I could trust whoever I hired to capture our very special day. As soon as we got our engagement photos back, I knew we made the right choice! Communication was super easy as well, and she listened to what we wanted.
On the day of the wedding, Heidi handled a lot of unplanned events (which will happen) like a champ and kept ..read more

My two favorite places to photograph family sessions on Anna Maria Island are Bean Point and Coquina Beach. This day was “Florida chilly” so there were not many people out at this typically popular beach photo spot. We chose this spot for this new-to-Florida family because this is one of their go-to spots — how perfect for their first family session on the beach!

This beautiful growing family booked their sunset mini session for one of the windiest days of the week. We rescheduled for two days later and began our session just as some light rain passed by. While we did not end up with a sunset, the cloudy sunset blues made gave the water at Redington Shores the most perfect blue-green color.
I always tell my families to coordinate outfits, instead of match and that lighter tones give perfect beachy hues and darker hues provide quality contrast to the sunset colors and this session is a great example of how each of those color play out (even in a cloudy ..read more

SHELBY & RYAN’S EXPERIENCE
Heidi is amazing! Not only does she take phenomenal photos, but she makes you feel like you've known her forever. We had the pleasure of shooting with Heidi for our engagement and wedding photos, and she did an incredible job. I knew from the moment I saw her gallery online that we would have gorgeous images to look back on, and Heidi did not disappoint. Heidi has been incredible from the start; she is warm, welcoming, and wonderful! She was there to take photos, but she did so much more! From helping with corsages to even bustling my dress, Heidi went above and ..read more

There’s a beautiful, new, intimate event space ready to host your event in Riverview, Florida, called The Eden in Riverview. The space showcases thoughtful landscaping and a garden area that’s perfect for an outdoor ceremony. While the photos in this gallery highlight the exterior vibes, inside this wedding venue is a clean, modern space with subtle Florida-esque touches and lighting that kind of makes you feel like you’re in an art gallery.
