Professionally photographing since 1986, Heidi has used her 23 years of experience to educate herself in all forms of photography. Having received an A.A. in Photography from Palomar College, she joined PPSDC, PPC and PPA about 10 years later and took many of the seminars and classes to broaden her talents in portraiture, her true love.

Heidi received her PPA Certification in 2000 and later received her Fellowship and Service Awards from PPSDC. She is a Past President of PPSDC. Heidi has also won PPSDC’s Wedding Album Photographer of the Year for the past three years.

Heidi owned and operated a commercial studio in Downtown Vista from 1994 until 2001. Wanting to spend more time at home and having a built-in landscape for children’s photography, she purchased a home with 1/3 acre of property in the Lake Hodges area of Escondido in 2001 and began her journey as a home studio photographer. Her specialty of wedding photography has been joined by her much acclaimed baby and pregnancy photography, as well as becoming one of Escondido’s high school senior portrait photographers.
