Photography is my lifelong passion, blending technical skill with artistic vision—fueled by years of training starting in film and later digital formats.
I started working exclusively with high school seniors in late 2024. I've always loved working with teenagers and I have lots of my own! I'm a mother of eight, hence the name of my company larger than life family! My Senior Photography Studio birthed of my love for teenagers and compassion for all the mom's navigating the year of graduation! It's not for the meek! I love coming along side you so you don't miss a thing!

I absolutely loved getting to take photos with Larger than Life Photography! Mrs. Iliff was amazing, and the entire process was very smooth and a lot of fun! I’m so grateful to have had such a great senior photo experience!

Heidi is amazing! She's able to get your real kid and makes him/her feel comfortable enough to capture their true selves.
"I had a great time with Mrs. Iliff, and you will too!"
