Hi, I’m Heather Palmer!

I‘m the co-captain in the wild adventure of raising 5 rambunctious boys (6, if you count my husband). I’m an avid gardener and aspiring violinist. However, some of my very favorite moments are spent behind the lens of my camera. I love capturing pictures of everything from simple, mundane moments in everyday life to some of the most memorable and joyful moments. I specialize in family photography, personal portraits, missionaries, and bridals. Come along with me and together we’ll capture the perfect moments with you and your family that you will cherish forever! Click here to read more about me.

What to Wear to Your Photoshoot

To me the worst part of getting our family pictures, by far, is choosing what we are going to wear. I can never decide and I know I’m not alone in this! Here are some tips to help you decide what to wear.

Location Recommendations

Coming up with a location can be one of the most difficult decisions. Lucky for you, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite locations to shoot at and the best time of year to take pictures there.

Where to Print Your Pictures

With each of my sessions, I include a photo release for you to print your photos where ever you’d like. However, not every printing location is created equal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do sessions include?

Each session type varies in length. Mini sessions are typically 30 minutes while Family sessions are around an hour. Read about each of the session types and what they include here. With each session, I will deliver all of the best photos into an online album for you to download and print as you would like. They will remain on my website for 6 months for family and portrait sessions and one year for weddings.

How many images do i get?

It depends on the session. Mini Sessions are usually around 40, Full Sessions are at least 80, and a Wedding is usually around 80 images per hour.

How do we choose a location?

Let me know what type of location you are looking for and I’ll give you a list of options of my favorite places to use and you can decide! Mini Sessions are usually set at a specific location. The best location will also depend on the time of year. If you have a place in mind that you would like to go to, just let me know, and we can chat about it. You can also check out my post with location recommendations here.

What should i bring for my session?

 I always welcome props if you want to bring them, especially for senior and missionary sessions. Props are never required though. 

What is your turnaround time?

Normally, with family and portrait sessions, I can get your edited images to you in 1 week. Wedding Day photos have a 2-week turnaround due to the amount of photos I take that day. Turnaround times are subject to change during my really busy seasons but I will always give you a heads up if that is the case. 

What if the weather is bad on the day of my session?

I leave this one up to my clients. If you need to reschedule due to weather, let me know. I’m not the one getting myself and my family ready to take pictures. I usually push

With weddings, you are required to put 1/2 of your package down as a deposit. The rest is due before your final wedding pictures can be delivered to you. All of my other sessions, payment is due at the time of your session. You can
