Visions by Heather helped me capture my senior year in teh most amazing way. Heather took my senior portraits and I am also in her Senior Insiders group and it’s all been an unforgettable experience. My favorite part of working with Heather is that she makes sure your pictures capture you in the best way and for that was including my younger brother. She took pictures that I will hold close to my heart forever!

As a mother to a soon-to-be graduate, I want nothing more than for my daughter to have an unforgettable final year in high school. A few years ago, I stumbled upon Heather's senior photography group and instantly fell in love with the concept. From that moment, I knew that I wanted my daughter to be a part of The Insiders incredible experience. Heather has an extraordinary talent for capturing the essence of the senior student in her photographs, and my daughter's pictures turned out absolutely stunning.

She captured moments that I will cherish forever and she was on point when suggesting outfits and locations that would fit just what I was looking for. Her creativity and fun spirit made my sessions so relaxed and enjoyable. A million thank you’s and I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants to capture their most precious moments! She’s not only an amazing photographer but she is a fun and lovely person to be around!

The Insider Group was so much fun and I was glad to get the opportunity to meet new people through it while also getting fun photo opportunities. Heather is so nice and easy to work with and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Heather, Reagan's Mom

Being a parent of a senior is a great experience with some hard decisions but one of the easiest decisions that I made was picking a photographer for senior pictures. Heather is so helpful from start to finish. She helps you come up with places that suit your personality, what outfits look best together and when is the best time to take pictures. She also helps when it is time to sort through and pick out pictures to purchase. I have had a great experience two years in a row and am so thankful for all of her help.
