About
Originally trained as a photojournalist, Heidi is a real-life photo nerd. After graduating with an MA in Image & Communication from Goldsmiths College, she lived in London for 13 years, returning to Illinois in 2006.
Senior portraits hold a special place in her heart. With three older kids of her own, she knows what it takes to make a picture that is meaningful without crossing the line to corny and how to respect the individuality of each person she photographs.
In addition to also operating a successful commercial photography business in La Grange, she volunteers photographic services with many charitable causes.
