There are few that I know in business and life quite like Heidi. Both in her creative and business pursuits, Heidi possesses a unique gift in not only understanding the subject matter, but becoming an expert in it. So many can attest that Heidi is a gifted teacher. I've invited her to speak at a number of events and on a number of different subjects, and one thing remains consistent - she can take complicated subjects and teach in a way that's easy to understand while engaging with her audience in a fun way.

Heidi Hope has been our family photographer for 7 years. (My oldest child is 7). For our first photo shoot we did a newborn session for our first born and I'm so happy we found Heidi! Over the years we've done everything from lifestyle shoots to Christmas cards with Heidi Hope. Watching Heidi shoot a newborn was magical. My wife and I called her the "baby whisperer." It was simply amazing to watch her control the shoot no matter how difficult we thought our child was going to be.
We now have a collection of family heirlooms of our most precious milestones. Working with Heidi and her husband Shaun has been so great over the years. Heidi is a true artist and more than just a photographer. The way she captures the perfect shot is a special gift. We are so grateful to have found Heidi and Shaun and will continue to support them as our family grows.
If you are reading this review don't even hesitate and book a session. You will be so happy you did. It's always great to go back and look at real printed photos of family and memories from years past. We can easily capture moments with our iPhone but it's not the same. Booking a Photo session With Heidi is truly a memorable experience that will literally last a lifetime. Thank you to Heidi and Shaun for capturing our amazing family over the years.

I couldn't recommend Heidi Hope Photography highly enough to anyone looking for an absolutely beautiful portrait of their family. She has a wonderful way of putting people at ease. Her eye is great; she knows what will make a good picture and is capable of creating the right setting. I fell in love with their new studio space and the variety of holiday backdrops were amazing! You won't find better customer service or higher quality work from any other photographer. Can't wait for everyone to receive this year's Christmas card - thank you Heidi!

I have worked with a few different photographers in the past and Heidi Hope is hands down the best one yet! The new studio they have opened is incredible and gorgeous! She is very efficient and effective with small children, the whole staff was such a pleasure to deal with. The quality and professionalism makes this my new go to studio. The mini sessions that they have are awesome and perfect for children photos!

I normally do not like to contribute to "bad reviews" for local businesses but this situation, unfortunately, went above and beyond lack of professionalism. Myself and ex partner purchased Heidi Hope Photography's "Infant package" costing around $850 in 2016 (prices have since gone up), not including the photos we would be purchasing after the actual shoots.
My son's father and I separated households when my son was six weeks old. The photo package was originally purchased on a credit card in both names which we used to pay for baby gear, etc. I began planning continued sessions (6 months, sitting up, etc.), when I received a phone call from the owner's husband/ receptionist?.stating the "father" called stating he paid for this "himself".and I was no longer allowed to schedule my son's additional photo shoots which included at least three more. However, he did say I was "allowed" to purchase the photos "dad took." hmm No thank you.
He told me "dad" would be doing them his own? Dad only sees my son two nights per week mind you. Good luck with scheduling. He send me an email providing me "proof" of why I was no longer able to make appointments for sessions. Please keep in mind that before "dad" called I did speak with Heidi and Shaun regarding the situation. At this time they said I had equal rights to photo shoot sessions and photos to purchase. However, please the email "Shaun" from Heidi Hope Photography provided me is identical to the credit card which was mine as well.
I have various receipts with my name on it with the exact same credit card. His arguement was that "dad" paid on "his credit card." No, this was "our" credit card. FYI the last four digits of a credit card are never the same Shaun, sorry. I would never recommend this business. Heidi does great photos, but unfortunately, with the lack of professionalism that can only go so far for so long.

What a horrible little hole this company is. The "owner" named Shaun shames parents if they have more than one kid in the family. And he mimicked me when I complained about his attitude. Then he accuses me of not responding to emails that they send out. I have responded to every email but they never received them. These jokers will only communicate via email and not in person. As Shaun the "owner" put it, "it protects their asses in case of a lawsuit". Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere.

I started following Heidi's photography years ago when I was getting my photography degree and have been in love with the creative shoots and beautiful pictures ever since. I live in California now but am from RI and while visiting family I was able to get in for a shoot at the studio last minute. They were so accommodating and patient with the time difference for planning and all other details. Mariah was great with my daughter and the photographs are even more beautiful than I had expected. Overall the shoot exceeded my expectations which were high to begin with!

What an amazing experience having Heidi photograph our newborn and family! She is an absolute baby whisperer! The entire staff and studio has such a relaxed comfortable feel to it that even spending hours there for a newborn shoot we never felt stressed or rushed at all! She's well worth any money you spend on her for sessions on prints because her photo are true works of art!

I had my daughter's one year photo shoot taken at HHP and could not have had a better experience. Mariah, the photographer, had that magic touch to make my little one laugh and giggle! The set was beautiful and was great to have so many options to choose from. Shaun and the rest of the staff are extremely professional, organized and always respond to emails in a timely fashion. Shaun, the owner, takes you through every step and is very clear and concise with every detail.
I loved the wall of headbands at the studio in addition to all the props! Mariah worked with me to create the perfect theme and the pictures truly came out amazing. It is expensive but the quality is outstanding and you definitely pay for what you get. I will definitely be using them again!

Heidi Hope Photography is truly fantastic! Not only are Heidi, Shaun & the staff at HHP wonderful, sincere, patient people, they are all extremely talented. I have had the privilege to have Heidi capture my daughter and son's first birthday photo shoot as well as our family photos and I am always amazed by her beautiful work. The images Heidi and her team produce are flawless!
They don't just take photos, they make them and it certainly shows. I treasure my HH photos and I cannot wait until our next session! Heidi and her team are truly perfection!

I think there are not many reviews for Heidi Hope Photography because their reputation speaks for itself! I have only ever heard positive things over the years. Just one peek at their website and blog will tell you all you need to know! They are extremely talented, detailed and dedicated. They are very open to customers' ideas and needs. We always felt very welcomed-each employee couldn't do enough to make us feel special.
We had our twin daughters' 1 year old and Christmas photos done at HHP-just beautiful! The lighting, Mariah's talent and "eye", beautiful studio and customized sets really gave us the softness we had hoped for. The photos are timeless and capture each girl's essence. I can't wait to have them do a family beach portrait done in a couple of years! (Just don't go next door to Sweet Indulgence-both vendors cross refer and their business ethic and talent are miles apart)

At Heidi Hope Photography you feel like a rock star. The staff are so accommodating and really make you feel comfortable. Everything they do and have is the best of the best. My son had a photo shoot in their studio recently and he had so much fun! I didn't feel as if I was "making" him get his photo taken. Additionally the photos are just beyond words beautiful. I'm sure my family and I will treasure them always.

I'm very happy and impressed with Heidi Hope photography. Mariah truly captured the happiness in my family. The photos were absolutely stunning. The service was more than accommodating. From the moment we walked in the door we were at ease. The staff is always smiling and we never felt rushed. They really took the time needed to get our one year old comfortable and smiling for the camera. I couldn't be happier to have found them!

Heidi Hope is truly an industry leader in the business of family, child and newborn photography. I have been following Heidi for two years on Facebook, and finally decided to make the investment and attend one of her workshops. It's been an incredible learning experience and I have had a really wonderful time. Thank you Heidi and team for being an open book and helping me grow my business! I highly recommend Heidi Hope Photography for portrait clients and photographers alike.

After carefully reading reviews and looking at portfolios, my husband and I chose Heidi Hope Photography for our daughter's First Christmas portraits. We had the pleasure of working with Mariah. Prior to our photo shoot, she gave us a tour of the studio and sat with us to discuss color schemes and ideas. On the day of the shoot, Mariah made us feel very relaxed.
We had a lot of fun and left the studio feeling confident that we made the right choice in selecting HHP. We highly recommend that if you are looking for a fabulous photography studio, to view their work and make an appointment to speak with one of the team members. They are fabulous!

Back in 2011, we met Heidi Hope for the first time for our 1st son's newborn session. We were extremely impressed by her studio, her props, her technique and of course all of the images. This September we had our 2nd son photographed for his newborn session by Michelle Carr, the new photographer that has joined the Heidi Hope team. Both Heidi and Michelle are absolutely amazing photographers.
They capture moments in your life in the most beautiful way and you will cherish their work for many, many years to come. Their photos are definitely an "investment" but if you appreciate photography it is very well worth it. Also, the new studio is stunning! From the printed materials you receive prior to your session, to the Facebook page and blog, to the images and packaging of the products, Heidi Hope is sure to incorporate the company's brand into each and every detail.

My heart melts with every photo Heidi Hope takes- even if it's not my own child (insert loving sigh here). Seriously you must see for yourself: www.heidihope.com or https://www.facebook.com/HeidiHopePhotographyFans This is my second visit to Heidi Hope and it just keeps getting better: -We receive the level of service one would expect from a boutique on Rodeo Drive, but at an affordable Rhode Island price. -Customer Service, Photo Editor, Graphic Artist, and Heidi herself.
Just super helpful and sweet. -HHP customized their sets and props to fit OUR decor, They didn't just throw up what they had on hand-- That is something you don't get with most photographers. -Varied options and products I've never seen offered elsewhere. Organic Bloom Frames, specialized canvas that can be wiped down, iPhone applications, custom books.
The only negative I can say is it's hard to decide because I want them all! HHP has managed to capture the expressions we will miss most as our child grows. That toothless grin, the look of amazement and curiosity for the new world, to the adventures of taking a first messy bite of cake and shrieking in excitement. We laugh, gush and awe at our ordering appointment. How many of us can look at a photograph and just KNOW it will be displayed at your childs wedding? I do! Definitely worth checking her out.
