Storytelling photography for your personal and professional needs

Meet Heidi

Michigan Photographer

Hello! I'm Heidi, a photographer who is passionate about the power of visual communication. My photography story began in high school while working as a photojournalist for a local newspaper. I simply fell in love with potential and power of photography to tell stories. Since then, I have had the great privilege of working with clients to photo-illustrate children’s books, pilgrimage books, magazines, websites, social media accounts, real estate, weddings, baptisms and more.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that I’m obsessed with telling stories with photographs. I have as much fun providing high-quality photographs to a place as familiar as my son's high school as I do traveling abroad to photo-illustrate a book about a place as exotic as the Uganda Martyrs' Trail.

I love collaborating with clients and other photographers! I bring years and diversity of experience, plus top-of-the-line photography equipment, to every shoot, so you don’t have to. 


Truly, I can't wait to bring your story to life!

the power of professional imagery

 Every moment has a story to tell.


Let’s face it, we’ve all grown accustomed to so-so quality, unsorted cell phone images which only marginally represent the beauty we are living. Let me help you flip that script! With over 40 years of professional experience in visual communication, I can significantly upgrade your visual image, while giving you the freedom to pour your energy into other areas.


I can readily turn your website viewers into customers, ingeniously illustrate the text of your newest book, artfully catch fleeting family or business moments, professionally showcase your real estate, and journalistically document your once-in-a-lifetime trip.
