HCS Photography Blog bio picture
  • Welcome!

    Hi! I'm Heather. I'm an artist who loves photography. I'm incredibly lucky to be married to my devoted husband, Adam, since 2004 and blessed with 3 beautiful boys. I'm giddy, playful and full of life. Thanks for taking a moment to read a little about me. Take a look around...hope you like what you see.

    I'm happy to say that I'm a member of the National Association of Professional Child Photographers, the Tiny Sparrow Foundation, the Red Thread Sessions and the Professional Photographers of America. I strive to be the best newborn, children, and family photographer in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Bolano | Hattiesburg Maternity Photographer

Lindsey and her sweet husband drove all the way from Morgan City, LA for her maternity session. She and I have actually been Flickr friends for quite some time now, so I was quite excited to meet her in person. I knew from speaking with Lindsey that she just wanted the “golden hour” photos. Our session started out very overcast and cloudy and no sun, whatsoever. But, at the very end, a beautiful, golden sun appeared for 10 minutes. She got her wish:)

I cannot wait to meet sweet baby Jack! Thank you so much for making the drive, and I’m so glad I finally got to meet  you. Here are a few from our golden hour.

Carter | Hattiesburg Newborn Photographer

Carter was such a sweetheart and a delight to photograph! He was an absolute dream baby:)I can’t wait to watch this baby boy grow.

Katlynn and Steven, thank you for choosing me as your photographer! I had a blast spending my morning with you! Here are just a few of my favorites.

Mia | Hattiesburg Child Photographer

One of the cutest little girls I’ve ever met. She danced to a little stuffed puppy named Violet and loved picking flowers. When it was time to eat cake, she could’ve beaten a world record with time and quantity.;)What a champ!

Happy first birthday, Mia! Here are a few of my favorites.

Darling Andrew, has it already been 9 months? I cannot believe it! And to think the next time I see you it’ll be for your 1 year session! My goodness, how time flies. You are just as precious as the first time I met you. Actually, dare I say cuter? Your mommy knows how adorable that little laugh of yours is and how it just makes my heart melt. I so enjoyed my afternoon with you!

Here a just a couple of my favorites.

Beautiful shots of a beautiful baby!

Debra Willis - April 29, 2013 - 4:16 pm

These pictures brought tears to my eyes as I was reminded of how much joy this precious child has brought to our family. He is truly a gift from God, as are all children. This precious gift came into our family at a time when we needed a reminder from God that He is with us in all things. The final few months of my dear momma’s life were made so much brighter by her great- grandchildren and Andrew’s sweet spirit gave her so much joy. Babies were always her calling. As for the photographer, her work is also a gift. I have loved every picture that Kristi has ever had made by her. She captures the spirit of these children and you just feel like you can reach out and touch them.

Jeanna Aultman - April 29, 2013 - 9:52 pm
