We have used Heidi twice now for our family pictures and every time we have absolutely loved how they have turned out.  She is an amazing photographer and the best part is she gets the pictures back to us so quickly. Highly Recommend!

I was fortunate enough to have Heidi Burton Photography take my maternity photos and it was an amazing experience. She had a beautiful dress for me to wear and at over 8 months pregnant she helped me to feel gorgeous! With this being my last child, I’m so grateful I got to capture my last pregnancy. She gave excellent direction with telling me how to pose. I felt so special during my photo shoot. She is also incredibly kind and easy to work with. She truly cares about her clients and wants to give them the best experience possible. Her attention to detail is fabulous! If you choose her to be your photographer, you will not regret your decision! I personally plan on using her again!

Heidi is such a talented photographer! She is amazing at maximizing the time you have and producing dream photos so efficiently.  She nailed each pose and picture and was so good at helping my kids to feel comfortable. I will absolutely treasure these pictures with my babies forever! I highly recommend Heidi!

<p style="text-align: center;">Hey there! It's me, Heidi Burton. Today, I thought we'd chat about something that often gets overlooked when planning a photoshoot - the location. Just as important as the outfits you choose and the time of day, the location sets the scene and helps define the mood of your photos. When I'm scouting for locations, the first thing that strikes me is the light. Light has a wonderful way of transforming a place, adding depth and drama. Whether it&rsquo;s a golden hour in a park, or the soft, diffused light in a cozy caf&eacute;, light can make a huge difference in your photos. So, when you're considering a location, think about the lighting during the time of your shoot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Next up, consider if the location aligns with your style and personality. Are you more comfortable in a natural, outdoorsy setting like the mountains, lake or park, or does the hustle and bustle of a cityscape with its architecture and graffiti walls excite you? Choosing a location where you feel at ease will reflect in your photos, making them more personal and authentic. Also, don't forget about the practicality of the location. Consider things like parking, accessibility, and whether there are facilities nearby. You don't want to be trekking miles in your photoshoot attire or worrying about a place to change outfits.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">If you have seen my instragam or perused my website, you know I have a specific aesthetic and style. Location plays a HUGE part in creating that style. One of the main things I look for when scouting is a neutral ground like a path or light colored sidewalk. The sun will reflect off that ground and create a beautiful reflection of light onto the faces of my subjects, plus it breaks up the colors from outfits and surrounding trees and environment.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Lastly, another big element I look for when scouting is are there any trees to diffuse the sun? The sun can be harsh, and while I can still shoot in direct sunlight, I much prefer the skintones when the sun is diffused causing some open shade. Plus the sun through trees is just perfection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Finding "the perfect location" takes work and isn't always easy. However, when you book your session with Heidi Burton Photography, I have a list of locations for you to choose from that have been proven to be beautiful for your session. Just like a client once said to me, 'Heidi, you made us feel so comfortable and the location was perfect! The pictures are beyond what we imagined.' That's what I aim for - to ensure that you not only have beautiful images, but also a memorable experience during the shoot. Choosing the right location might seem a little daunting, but remember, it&rsquo;s all about finding a place that resonates with you. And, of course, I am always here to assist and guide you in making the perfect choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Can't wait to work with you on capturing your special moments. Here's to creating beautiful memories together!</p>

<h1 class="sc-dQthHs cRxdQt" style="text-align: center;">What to Wear for Your Family Photoshoot: Embrace the Neutrals</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">Hello there, I am your photographer and today, I want to talk about something which often creates a bit of confusion for my clients - what to wear for your family photoshoot. I understand that preparing for a photoshoot can be a bit nerve-racking, but trust me, it doesn't have to be. One of the main things I want you to remember is that these photos are about you and your loved ones. The clothes? They're just the icing on the cake.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now, let's talk colors. I often suggest my clients go for neutral colors. Why, you may ask? Well, neutral colors are timeless, versatile, and have a way of making an image feel fresh and clean. These colors also tend not to draw attention away from the subjects, which are you and your family. Whether it's white, beige, grey, or even soft pastel tones, these shades work wonderfully in almost all settings, whether indoor or outdoor, and regardless of the season.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Another reason why I love neutral colors is that they help to create a cohesive look without everyone in the photo wearing the exact same color. It's nice to have some variation, and different shades of the same neutral color can provide that. For example, one can wear light beige, another can wear cream, and another can wear a darker shade of brown. The result? A harmoniously blended color palette that's pleasing to the eye.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident, because it will shine through in the photos. Remember, these photos are not just about looking good, but also about capturing your family's unique dynamic and the love you share. So, go ahead, embrace the neutrals, and let's create some beautiful, timeless photos together. Looking forward to our session!</p>

UTAH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | HEIDI BURTON PHOTOGRAPHY

<p>Hello there! It's me again and this time, I'm eager to share with you the importance of hiring a professional photographer for family photos. I know, we all have smartphones with fantastic cameras, but trust me, there's a unique touch a professional photographer brings to the table that can't be replicated.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Firstly, let's talk about the actual photos. As a professional, I have spent years honing my skills, learning about light, angles, composition and how to capture those perfect moments. I use top-of-the-line equipment to ensure the images are clear, well lit and beautifully composed. The result? Stunning photos that will take pride of place on your living room walls and digital album.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But that's not all. One of the most vital, yet overlooked aspects of a photoshoot, is the ability to put the subjects at ease. This is where a professional photographer really shines. I pride myself on creating a relaxed, enjoyable environment during our session. I've had plenty of experience with camera-shy kids, nervous parents and everything in between. My aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, so those genuine smiles and spontaneous moments can shine through in the photos.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Remember, the photoshoot itself is part of the experience. You and your family coming together, sharing laughs, creating memories - you want this to be a fun, stress-free time. This is something I strive to provide for all my clients. It's not just about clicking the shutter; it's about making the entire process enjoyable from start to finish.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So next time you're considering family photos, think about the value a professional photographer can bring. It's not just about the pictures themselves, but the overall experience and the lasting memories these images will provide. As always, I can't wait to help you and your family create beautiful photos that capture each stage of your life. Here's to making memories!</p>

Video Title

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language. Write in this style:
"I am Heidi Burton and I photograph women, mothers, and families who seek joy, deserve to feel seen and loved, and desire lasting memories to look back on.

In fact, one adoring client shared, "Heidi is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful! I am in love with every single picture!" 

When I'm not photographing families or mamas like you, you can find me curled up on the couch reading a novel or playing some sort of game like Five Crowns, Rummikub, or Yahtzee.

I am a client-centered photographer and love light, which reflects in my light and airy style. I love meeting and connecting with my clients and having a good time during our sessions. I know pictures can be stressful (I get it!), but my hope is to make you feel comfortable and deliver beautiful images you will love for a lifetime while also having a memorable experience.

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you and your family! Cheers to beautiful photos that capture each stage of your life"

<p style="text-align: center;">Last year I took my daughter's baptism photos in the poppy field in Alpine, Utah. It is a smaller area but packs a punch! The poppies usually bloom in July and are so pretty!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Because it is a smaller space, a family session probably wouldn't work. But I would recommend a session here for a couple, or family of 3, or singles. There are small paths leading around the area with benches to sit on as well. It is such a pretty little spot.</p>
