Collaborating with Heidi Back was an absolute pleasure. She’s a true artist with a clear vision and an inviting, intelligent energy that instantly puts her subjects at ease. Heidi has a gift for making you feel seen and understood, without a trace of self-consciousness. Our photo-shoot felt like a creative partnership—a joyful, effortless experience. Her professionalism and organizational skills are unmatched. I adore Heidi and look forward to working with her many more times.

Heidi is an incredibly talented, artistic, and methodical photographer. She does absolutely stunning work. We have come to Heidi to do a photoshoot for our business launch. This has been a daunting task for us. Heidi made this process efficient, smooth, and right to the point. She first interviewed us to capture our brand identity. Her proposal was brilliant and meticulously put together. We found the whole process streamlined and she inspired us with even more suggestions. She is well versed in lighting, composition, and color selection. She is also well connected with make-up artists and models and brought these elements in to further elevate our brand. She delivered to us absolutely beautiful images that capture the very heart of our brand; they were modern, elegant, and professional. Furthermore, Heidi is an incredibly genuine, smart, and kind person. She is detail-oriented, composed, and always encouraging on set. She truly brings out the best out of everyone. Both our staff and our brand ambassadors love working with her. As a brand, we felt both understood and inspired in her artistic process. Heidi also has a remarkable marketing background and this makes her unique in understanding not just the art but also the “why” behind the images. We have worked with other photographers and videographers in the past, she is a true unicorn in understanding brand identity and working with us to deliver an artistically consistent portfolio. I highly recommend Heidi’s services to anyone who is looking for professional, smart, and intuitive photography work. We will surely be returning to Heidi for future portfolio work.

As a filmmaker, I’m used to being behind the camera. But switching roles and having myself photographed makes me nervous. Heidi knew exactly what to do to loosen me up. With her sensitive and professional manner, she made acting in front of the camera even fun. Even more: Heidi noticed and awakened things in me that had slumbered in secret - and made them visible with her photography. Not only did I get wonderful photos of me from the photoshoot, but also a different view of myself.

A photo shooting? With me? At first, I was sceptical. Then absolutely excited! A photo shooting with Heidi is an uniquely gentle and unforgettable event! Easygoing and funny, she explains the tricks of photography, spots her model’s ‘chocolate’ side and subtly puts her in the right light. The results are impressive: authentic personalities, glowing faces, people full of soul and energy. Finally, there are photos of me I can proudly give to my loved ones! Photos, my girlfriends envy me for! Thank you very much!

I scheduled a photo shoot with Heidi to take some professional photos for my business website. She took the time to help me raid my closet over Zoom, choosing outfits that would look good on camera, and also encouraging me to bring favorites that were wild cards. I'm not the most comfortable in front of a camera, and this act of kindness, combined with her calm and encouraging coaching throughout the shoot itself, made the experience empowering and fun. She listened to what I wanted and chose perfect locations, and I was struck again and again by her ability to identify new and interesting shots, even in places that I have visited a hundred times. The photos themselves are gorgeous, and I can't wait to share them on my website and throughout my marketing. Thanks to her kind words and gentle instructions in how to stand in front of a camera, I think I'll be taking better photos for life! Erica M.
