Heather is a truly gifted photographer and a joy to work with. She's been taking beautiful photos of my family for 14 years and her sessions are fun! Her ease in working with all ages, from littles to teens, and adults, is what sets her apart. She has an amazing ability to capture the spirit of each child and her gorgeous photos are some of my most cherished keepsakes!

We adore Heather Crowder! It's been some time since we have been able to do portraits with her because of our busy schedules, but when we found a time that worked-We jumped at the chance! The portraits were stunning, and I would expect nothing less! A session photographing two large Golden puppies and our two kids is never an easy task. Heather captured their big sweet personalities and we have many family favorites to choose from! We feel so fortunate to have Heather capture such beautiful memories!

I have put off getting a headshot for so long and I am so glad I contacted Heather Crowder to do them. She made the process fun and super easy. I had someone there to do my makeup and hair and Heather had me laughing and comfortable, which made my photos exactly what I wanted and needed. I have gotten so many compliments and it is all due to Heather and her skills.

Heather, My prints arrived and they are just stunning - both the pictures and the high quality framing! You are magical in getting the right smirk or smile and creating perfectly natural pictures. You had the best ideas for location, poses and your suggestion of a family shot while we were all there for senior pictures was brilliant. Thank you for capturing memories of our daughter and family during this milestone senior year! I highly recommend your talents to anyone looking to capture family memories.

We first met Heather when our kids were in preschool and the school they were enrolled in had her come in to take pictures. Then she offered mini holiday sessions to the preschool families which we signed up for. Those pictures were always some of our favorites. Fast forward 10+ years and I realized that we hadn't had any professional family shots and our kids were in high school! Heather was just the same - warm, professional and able to make us all feel really comfortable, including our puppy. We love our recent pictures! We highly recommend!

We knew Heather would do a fantastic job on our corporate headshots. What we didn't know is how she would go above and beyond to manage schedules for multiple people, including last minute out-of-town employees that needed to be squeezed in. Heather made the whole process so easy and enjoyable - even the paperwork and scheduling. It's great knowing when we have new team members start, Heather is a phone call away and will give us a product that will match what we had done months or even years prior.

We feel so lucky to have found Heather! First and foremost and what would have been enough, is that our family pictures are beautiful and professional. But Heather's service didn't stop there. The appointment, the session, the follow-up steps, choosing our pictures and then receiving the prints and having our digitals sent to Minted for Christmas cards - all of it went flawlessly.
As a busy working mom, Heather is making me look like a rockstar. The amount of time a mom has to put into this kind of family management is SIGNIFICANT - THANK YOU Heather for making this a joy for me!

There are no words to describe how magical the experience with Heather was. We booked a family reunion and Heather captured the moment so perfectly -- everything was so organized, the perfect groupings were setup, and Heather's personality made the entire group smile during the process. The booking process, capturing of the moment, and delivery of the final product was nothing short of perfection. I would highly encourage anyone looking to capture a moment to book with Heather & her team. We are so grateful for this incredible experience!

When the best of the best comes to the beach you take some family photos & then you have these moments that capture EXACTLY who you are as a family forever. I am a producer who knows photos; and Heather is one of the top candid / portrait artists in the country without question. Regardless of the setting, natural light or studio she captures people and their emotions perfectly and completely.
