I’m Heather, the girl behind the camera at Heather Nicole Photography. I specialize in maternity and newborn photography because, honestly, this season of life is just everything. The waiting, the wondering, the overwhelming love when your baby finally arrives—it all goes by way too fast.
That’s why I do what I do. I want to help you remember it. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.
My style is soft, simple, and natural. No over-the-top props or stiff posing—just cozy textures, gentle tones, and a focus on you and your baby exactly as you are. The tiny fingers, the sleepy snuggles, the way you look at them… those are the moments that matter most.
My studio is designed to feel calm and easy (because let’s be real—life with a newborn can feel like anything but). You don’t have to stress or “perform” here. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly I want you to relax, soak it in, and just be with your baby.
Whether you’re still growing your little one or already deep in those newborn days, I’m here to make this experience feel simple, meaningful, and even a little bit magical.
If you’re thinking about documenting this season, I’d truly love to be part of your story 🤍
"I truly love creating soft studio photos for life's tender moments."

"I highly recommend Heather for your newborn photos. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so comfortable. As a new mom, I was a bit nervous about the session, but Heather was incredibly patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She was patient, gentle, and very accommodating, as my baby needed multiple feeding breaks. The photos she captured were magical-every moment felt genuine. If you are looking for someone who is not only a talented photographer but also calm, caring, and truly understands how to work with newborns and their parents, look no further! We are beyond thrilled with the memories she created for us."

"We recently had Heather photograph our newborn and family, and I'm beyond thrilled with the experience and results! From the start, Heather's warmth and professionalism put us at ease - She clearly has a knack for working with little ones! She listened to what we wanted and brought such a soothing touch to the session. The photos were absolutely breathtaking - every tiny detail of our baby and the love in our family was captured perfectly, with gorgeous lighting and composition. Heather's patience and skill really stood out, and the final images were delivered so quickly. If you need a talented, caring photographer, Heather is hands-down the best choice."

"We would highly recommend Heather Nicole Photography. We needed a photographer last minute and she really came through for us. On top of all that, she was extremely flexible and was very helpful in coordinating with us. She offers fair pricing and even got our photos back to us quickly and they were great. If you hire Heather you won’t be disappointed."

"I can't say enough wonderful things! From the moment we met, it was clear how calm, patient, and nurturing Heather is-especially with our newborn. She made us feel instantly at ease, handling everything with such gentle care and confidence. What really stood out was how incredibly organized and prepared she was, while still being so warm and approachable. Her friendly energy made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. We're so grateful we found her!"

`"We had the most incredible experience with Heather for our baby boy's newborn session. From the moment we walked into the studio, we felt so welcomed and completely at ease. I was thoroughly impressed with her ability to keep our son asleep.
Watching her work was amazing--she knew exactly how to pose him, and he looked so relaxed during the session.
Her studio was beautiful, warm, and perfectly arranged for the session. She even offered us coffee and water. She did such a good job that I almost feel asleep myself!
My husband and I feel in love with the photos Heather took. She truly has a gift for newborn photography."
Lori
"My maternity session with Heather was such an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived at the studio, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful! I had an incredible time and never felt weird in front of the camera.
When it came to posing, she showed me how to position myself and everything felt natural. The gowns that she provided were stunning and made the photos elegant and very professional.
I will definitely return to Heather Nicole Photography for my newborn photos!"
