As an American who has called Paris home for over a decade, I'll take you to the most picturesque spots around Versailles gardens and help you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
A Unique Alternative to the Eiffel Tower: While the Eiffel Tower is the most photographed landmark, Versailles offers a more exclusive backdrop.
Result? Timeless photographs you will treasure.
My priority is to create natural, authentic photos that capture your experience poetically.

Highly Recommend Heidi!
After my other photographer canceled due to illness, I booked Heidi THE DAY OF for a photo shoot of a surprise proposal. She was extremely flexible and accommodating and even stayed past the booked time to finish the photo shoot after we arrived 30 minutes late. She was super easy to work with and everything turned out perfect. 10/10

Proposal photoshoot
The photoshoot with Heidi was absolutely amazing. I contacted her on very short notice and she was super responsive and accommodating, tailoring the experience to my expectations. She took a lot of time talking me through everything to make sure everything went perfectly, and it did! We were so happy with the entire experience and I strongly recommend working with her.

Heidi is amazing! Great couples shoot
We worked with Heidi and she was a dream!!! She had the best attitude and worked with all our minor requests. She had great ideas of how to stage us and work with the wind. We really enjoyed chatting with her and getting to know her. The pictures and editing also came out great. Highly recommend!!!
