Fellow mom over here!
I know what it is like having your family photographed.
From the planning to getting everyone on board the day of the shoot, I want to make it easier on you. I’m all about planning for success. That’s why light, location, and your kid’s nap schedule are factored in when determining the logistics of your session. From there the booking process is quick, easy, and done online. I’ll provide resources and input for what to wear. On the day of your shoot all you have to do is show up and smile. I’ll do the rest!
As the oldest of 15 grandchildren, I developed my kid wrangling skills early. I’ll win your kids over with my animal noises, silly questions, and general goofiness. Meanwhile I'll give you direction so you look and feel comfortable in front of my camera. Pair this with my B.F.A. in photography and over a decade of experience. The results are joyful photos that document this season in your life and the unique bonds that you share!
"Heidi, you are a gifted photographer and exceeded our hopes in capturing authentic images of our family. You delivered many beautiful options that we can't wait to print! Thank you for the wonderful experience and photos!"
"This holiday season marks the fourth year we have chosen Heidi Vail Photography for our family portraits. Each time, I have a moment of post- photoshoot doubt--will there be one of my kids with genuine smiles? What about a family shot where all four of us look presentable?--and I can honestly say this moment gets shorter each year. I put my trust in Heidi and I am always so impressed with the results. She beautifully captures those moments I didn't even see. Thank you, Heidi."
"My family and I have worked with Heidi for the past 6 years. Heidi photographed our wedding, our first maternity session, and continues to document our growing family. Heidi is so organized, talented, and I always feel so at ease when working with her. Whether it's picking outfits or coordinating schedules, Heidi is the epitome of professional and so pleasant to work with. Heidi is also so amazing with my little ones. In addition to her getting fabulous photos of them, my children really look forward to seeing Heidi each time. I feel so lucky to have Heidi document such important moments in our family's life, and could not recommend her enough."
"Heidi is always a pleasure. She is so kind and patient with my family. She turned a cold and windy afternoon into a beautiful gallery of images we will forever cherish."
