I would love the opportunity to capture your child’s mitzvah and complete a creative portraiture session!

Hi, Heather here!

I am a Northbrook-based photographer, artist, and educator. I look forward to serving your needs!


I am a Northbrook-based photographer, artist, and educator. I have my MFA in Photography and I teach photography at the college level, so you can rest assured you’re in great hands!

I invest a lot of time getting to know my clients, so I tend to tear up while I work, plus those emotional speeches!

When I am not shooting, you can find me pursuing the various art galleries in Chicago’s West Town, running in Northbrook, becoming one with the sand at Glencoe Beach, hiking with my son, camping, watching a new series with my husband, or enjoying some sushi!

Pricing FAQs

What price do your packages begin with?

$1,500

One photographer for 4-5 hours of event photography, light editing on all images, and 30 minutes of creative portraiture before the event to commemorate your child’s important religious milestone!

What does it cost to add an heirloom album?

$1,000 ($600 savings with product add-on pricing)

This includes up to 60 images in any material - leather, faux leather, linen, and velvet - and foil lettering and/or embossing. This album is 10x10 inches and typically 20 spreads, up to 38 pages, and printed on beautiful, thick-luster archival paper that will withstand the test of time. Mini albums can be added for grandparents and other relatives for only $200 each. These will all be delivered to your doorstep 2-5 business days after placing the order. This offer reflects add-on discounted pricing. When this package is purchased after the image files are returned to the client, the regular $1,600 rate will apply.

How much does it cost to add Temple pictures?

$400 ($400 savings with product add-on pricing)

I offer this service on weekdays only and this package includes 60 minutes with light editing on all images (typically this will cover images of your child + the Torah, the family together in the Temple, and some family photos outside as well, if desired). This offer reflects add-on discounted pricing. When this package is purchased separately from the core package listed above, the regular $800 rate will apply.

Can we add a second photographer?

$1,000.

Yes, absolutely! This fee includes the support photographer’s compensation and the extra editing hours. I strongly recommend adding this service to your package for large gatherings of over 100 guests and if there will be religious ceremony coverage in the timeline as well.

Can I create a custom package?

Absolutely! We can find a way to customize and meet your needs with a custom quote. We also sell prints, framed prints, and can arrange for guest sign-in books as well. Please inquire for more information.
