Connect with Heidi
“Heidi was definitely the right choice for our family! Her calm presence guiding us in birth prep and birth support on the big day invaluable. We also hired Heidi for a Newborn Photoshoot which was awesome! She helped us pick outfits, navigated our newborns needs, and worked around us in our home to create beautiful pictures that we treasure! Heidi will forever be a part of our family's story and birth of my son. I couldn't be more grateful!”
-Amy & Bobby

Newborn Photography
“We love Heidi and would 100% recommend her to friends and family. Not only is she a wealth of knowledge, but she is full of compassion and really takes the time to get to know you and the dynamics of the relationships of those involved in your birth. There is no way I would have been able to accomplish an unmedicated birth without her by my side. I have to also mention her insane talent when it comes to Photography! We took full advantage of her Maternity, Birth, and Newborn Photography Services.”
-Alana & Clint

Doula + Birth Photography
“Our wonderful Doula, Heidi, was also our Fresh 48 Photographer. I feel like since we had a relationship already she was the perfect person to capture our family's first intimate hours with our baby. It would have felt strange to have yet another, new person in the room. Heidi's calm, caring, trusted presence put me at ease. I'm usually a little camera shy. I love the photos we received. They're beautifully edited and so, so sweet.”
-Carmen & Oliver

Package Options
"She was nurturing, connected easily with our newborn, and we trusted her completely to help us with our baby’s daily needs. She provided great insights into resources that might help me in my recovery. Heidi helped with breastfeeding tips, nursing positions, food prep, light housework, and shopping. Heidi reminded us that we as parents were also humans with needs ourselves.”
-Jenna & Ryan
