Hi, I'm Heather! I'm an award-winning photographer, art director and designer. For over 15 years, I’ve been merging my skills to create highly conceptual visual work, rich in both pop culture context and character.
It was inevitable that I would become a creative professional. As the daughter of a seasoned photojournalist, creative storytelling is in my blood. Born and raised in Ontario, I studied Photography at Sheridan College and Creative Advertising at Seneca @ York before arriving in Calgary, Alberta, my current home base.
My photography has been published both commercially and editorially across Canada and I’ve worked in several ad agencies and design firms to art direct campaigns and editorial content from start to finish. Now at the helm of my own busy namesake company, most of my work these days consists of creative photography, art direction and video direction/production for musicians and artists, while fashion photography and creative portraiture remain staples in my commercial work. Recently, I started producing home tour video content for HGTV Canada.
A few career highlights so far include winning a Gold Photography Award for 'Au Vieux Fanal' from the Rooms for Tourists project at the Alberta Magazine Publishers Awards, and publishing The Building Project, my first grant-funded photo book.
