Reviews
"My wedding photos are AMAZING. I had full confidence that our photos would be lovely but they’re even better than I could have imagined. Heather and her husband Drew were fabulous, very professional, sticklers for details which I loved, and all around awesome! I think I teared up a bit when I saw the photos for the first time. Their ability to “capture the moment” is phenomenal. We had rain move in just as the “first look” was scheduled. They tracked the radar, kept us aware, and managed the entire “unplanned” scenario perfectly. I think our photos turned out even better with storm clouds moving out just in time for the ceremony! We even had a rainbow as icing on the cake! Five stars + for Heather Erson Photography!" -Tiffany

"We had Heather and her husband Drew come to our vacation rental home to photograph family photos. We were extremely pleased with not just the final product, pricing and terms but also with the experience of working with them that morning. Professional, patient, fun, meticulous while still artful, open to suggestions and willing to shoot multiple backgrounds and combination of people to give us a really full set of images and great reminders of our family time together out there this year." -Robert
"I can't say enough wonderful things about the experience and photography work Heather did for our family portraits. I wanted to have photos done on a recent family get together and was lucky enough to contact Heather for the job. We met for the first time on the day of the photo and she made it go so smoothly and the resulting portraits were beyond my wildest expectations. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories we will have to cherish always." -Sharon
