I have seen her growth over the years and she is so passionate about her work. You won't find anyone else who invests in their clients as much as Heather. About Heather After graduating from college in Pennsylvania, Heather pursued a fashion photography internship with a celebrity photographer in Los Angeles. She met celebrities and models from all over the world, but she felt she lacked fulfillment in her work. When Heather came back home to Pittsburgh, she decided to give everyday people like us the same celebrity photography experience. Helping clients find the light inside themselves that makes them feel photogenic is so rewarding. Heather has built her brand as a Couture Portrait Studio. She photographs exclusively indoors in her signature style. Heather provides such a phenomenal experience that clients fly to her from all over the United States. I trust her completely, and I am always thrilled with the whole experience Heather provides, her authenticity, and knowing how much she cares about her clients.
