Hi Mommas! My name is Heather and I am a family/milestone photographer on Long Island. I have 5 children of my own- 3 human and 2 with paws. I started my business 10 years ago when my daughter was one years old. Although I shoot everything from babies to weddings nowadays, my first love was photographing families! I know how important and special it is to have that one perfect picture you can stare at for hours and hang all over your house- that is exactly what I want to deliver to every family every time! I pride myself with being extra patient and easy going during family sessions especially with little ones. I tend to be very flexible in the field of family photography because anything can happen- I've seen it all even with my own and I get it- a day in the life of a Long Island Mom! lol My oldest is 14 so I also know how fast these days fly by. I would be honored to capture lots of smiles and laughs for your family to cherish forever!
Heather Jean Photography
Introduction
Specialization
I photograph a large variety of sessions as kids grow and I think I specialize mostly in Baby Showers and Family Photos. I have always loved events and although it comes kind of naturally to me, its not something that every photographer (especially if mostly familiar with natural light) can do so I definitely tend to shoot alot of Baby Showers which is so much fun! I also enjoy family session and believe it or not- PETS! They are your babies too :) Now that I am thinking about it- I can shoot family pet sessions for the rest of my life and be very happy lol
Company History
Ironically enough I started photography for my own family. I had a super tragic loss of my photos on my old phone (before the days of icloud) and lost practically every photo and video I had of my oldest as a baby :/ so when my second was born I took photo storage very seriously. I invested in nice equipment to photograph the kids and took it everywhere! So much that other people asked me to photograph their families too. I started getting recommended to more friends and it basically took off from there. I absolutely love it! I get complimented all the time about how I work with kids so putting kids and photography together is a no brainer for me :)

WAM Love!
We loved working with Heather! She was very accommodating for this mom of three who was trying to figure out how to fit a newborn shoot into the mix… she made everything feel effortless and our photos came out beautifully! We will definitely be working with her again!
Heather was very friendly and super responsive! She was very accommodating when we had to change our date and location for our maternity pics due to weather and when we went to the new location she did a great job of scouting out areas where our photos would look best. The edited images came out amazing! Would definitely recommend
We loved our photo session with Heather and how the pictures turned out! They are stunning!!!! Heather was patient and understanding as our 5 month old acted like a 5 month old and fussed. She was still able to capture beautiful photos and worked magic! I was recommended to Heather by other moms and will recommend Heather to everyone!!! 100/10!
Our family loves working with Heather Jean's photography. She never disappoints. She always knows how to catch the best angles. Very polite and professional. ever since she captured my wedding in 2023 and recently had a family photo shoot on the beach we can’t see us using anyone else

I had the best experience with Heather! She was able to fit me in last minute after I had a baby and while I was at her beautiful home studio she was very accommodating and so patient with me which I appreciated so much!! The pictures came out so adorable! I highly recommended using her for family photos!! Thanks again Heather!!!
Heather has done family shoots & our wedding for us. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s amazing with our kids, has taken so many beautiful photos for us & went above & beyond at the wedding. The best
I found her through another Facebook group. she came to my house with props and I immediately loved her personality. She was friendly and kind and also very patient with my son. She was calm when he got fussy and offered to feed him a bottle. She was fine with me showing her inspirational pictures I found from Pinterest. that night she shared with us over 20 sneak peaks! Oh and the best thing: she is so reasonably priced. Don’t hesitate to contact her!
