Meet the Team!

I am so excited to share with you The Heather Anderson Photography Team. Over the last few years, I have grown so much, and adding associate photographers to my team was a way for me to photography more couples and add them to the HAP family.

What is an associate photographer?

An associate photographer is one that works under the lead photographer’s brand as an independent contractor. All of my associate photographers have a similar style to mine. From the moment you inquire I will take care of things for you from start until finish, the only difference will be the associate photographer will be with you on the day of.

We might all have different personalities but our style and drive to capture you the best during your session or wedding day is all the same experience. I ensure the consistency between me and my team will stay the same. You will have peace of mind knowing that we are a team.
