I discovered Heidi's charming Sewickley Studio during the Sewickley Wine Walk earlier this fall. I immediately loved her energy and studio space, so I booked a session with her for some wacky family holiday photos. I'm so glad we chose Heidi! We wanted to do something a little nontraditional, kind of a rebellion against the modern family holiday card. We wore over the top outfits and brought our own props featuring ugly sweaters, a bathrobe, a bunny suit, Crocs, a giant martini glass, a leg lamp and a bottle of Fireball (lol). It was hilarious and fun and Heidi embraced our idea with open arms. She captured our vision so perfectly in her studio, delivered our photos to us SO FAST, and overall was a pleasure to work with. 

Would highly recommend Larger Than Life!!!

She is professional, compassionate, and very personable. She makes everyone feel at ease and communicates effectively. You will not be disappointed with the finished product. She truly captures the perfect pictures to hang on the walls!

Heidi is a very talented photographer!

We had an awesome experience working with Heidi on newborn photos. She was great with our young kids, and our photos turned out amazing even though our kids weren’t always cooperative! We had our photos done at the Sewickley studio, which was a nice neutral background for family shots. The only trouble I had was picking which photos to order since we had so many great ones!
