Heather Bates Photography Capturing the beautiful, fleeting memories that reflect the heart of your family, one in-between moment at a time. Hopefully we will be shooting together soon!

Guiding families and couples through prompts to promote genuine closeness on camera. I truly enjoy being a photographer and I believe that really shows in each picture I take. Whether it's a newborn addition to the family, a bo***ir session or a wedding, I love being allowed to be a part of it. I take pride in every photo I deliver to my clients, and strive to go beyond what they hoped for. The im

portance of photos is greater than words can provide, and I think they should be tangible to everyone. They tell stories simply and truthfully, hold memories flawlessly and remind us that every phase of life is a beautiful adventure. I am always flexible with my clients to meet their needs, and we have an amazing end result both of us are proud of. Take a look around and see what I have to offer.

The perfect day for these two!

New beginnings by the sea, like a breath of fresh air.

These two said “bring it on” to forever, with the salty breeze in their hair and the warm summer sun kissing their skin.

Congrats D & O, thanks for having me along for the ride! 🌊

Peekaboos and Mountain views for this extended family 🏔️

I love getting to photograph my brides with their families long after the wedding, and getting a glimpse of their growing family time and time again.

When this sweet couple asked me to travel to NH to capture their big family in a beautiful place that’s been a tradition for years and years, obviously I accepted enthusiastically.

The mountains, and giggles, did not disappoint! Priceless family vacation memories: ☑️

Moms and Dads- don’t forget to be camera ready to jump in a shot or two with your almost adult senior baby!

I’ve noticed that recurring family portraits get further and further apart as kids grow up- so take this time to capture a sweet moment with your kid before you blink and they move away to college!

It’s Senior season! Rising seniors, class of 2027 it’s your time!

This year I’ll be offering some senior minis at select beautiful outdoor locations, both in August and in late September for summer and fall options!

Keep an eye out for those dates being posted tomorrow!

And as always, if you prefer a full length session we can customize one for your senior!

My favorite kind of studio break- a New England beach at sunset!

What a perfect night romping through the sand with this sweet family, who just grew by two tiny feet! Baby sessions don’t have to be in baskets, or even in a studio. I was honored to give this sweet little guy his first beach trip!

Congrats Mom & Dad, and grandparents too. What a perfect little love bug!

SO much fun! 10/10 worth the sweeping and sweeping and sweeping.. and finding it in my washer at home

The sillier the better! This was hands down the easiest thing I’ve ever done to capture those genuine giggles and “up to no good” spunky expressions. I’m here for it!

Confetti is always an optional add on- maybe it should be a staple at personality portraits from now on?
