I need to do some gushing.
I know, I know, what else is new?
But no, seriously. Have you heard about Heather Baker of Photography by Heather? If you haven’t, you need to check out her space.
If you have, then you’ve been let in on one of the best small business owners Galt, Ontario has to offer.
Heather is an incredible family, child and event photographer, working in the Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and greater Toronto area. As a small business owner, she gives back to her community, promotes what she loves – especially other small business owners in the communities she works in – and really is just an all around kick-ass human being.
Between her heart, her gift for the perfect shot and her ability to put her subjects at ease, she’s an ace!
I have had the pleasure of working with Heather on multiple occasions, in many settings and she never ceases to impress me with her growth in her art.
She’s shot me (with a camera and lens of course) and my sisters, and caught one of our favourite moments to date in frame:
I’ve worked with her in a more intimate setting as a gift for my future husband:
She’s captured Julia’s growing family at almost every stage since she opened her business:
She was entrusted with Jacqui and Cody’s big day and once again caught some of the most memorable moments:
I’ve known for a while that Heather would be trusted with many memories and milestones to come for my family.
Just a few weeks ago, she stole our hearts with her generosity with our engagement shoot. While we only have a sneak peak so far, I already know we will love every picture in our gallery.
When she offered to pull a mini-road trip to a special spot to get the kind of shoot we wanted, I was thrilled. While there were some cues, and a few tuckings of this hair and untucking of this shirt, it felt as though Michael and I were on a date, surrounded by love the whole time, instead of posing for a picture. I feel she invested in our relationship, in our memories and in her work.
From planning our session, right down to the very last shot, she took her time to make sure what she knew of Michael and I and how Michael and I feel about each other, would resonate through our photos and be very personal to us.
I am so very happy you were the one to mark a special milestone for Michael and I, Heather. I love our sneak peak:
I could tell you more, but I really think you should just have a consult or book with her and find out for yourself. To contact Heather, please email her here. I also highly recommend following her here and making sure to like her here.
