Welcome To Jamie Heyl Photography!

"For every step of your life"

People often ask me what my favorite type of photography is and I answer differently at different times, depending on what I am doing or working on. I love taking photos, of every kind ... well, not landscape or pet photos, but always "people" photos.

It is often said in the photography world that you can not specialize in everything, and I believe that. Not every photographer can be the best at every type of photography - I know I have plenty to learn about lots of different things. I am always learning and growing. But I can LOVE every type of photography which is why the tag line of my business is "for every step of your life."

I love to watch my clients and their families grow. To photograph a couple from their engagement through their wedding and then the birth of their first child is an amazing experience. Then to watch that child grow through their first years, graduate from high school and start the cycle over is awe-inspiring. I haven't quite been in business long enough for that, but I have had the privelige of photographing the weddings of some of my Senior clients!

So whether you are just beginning to build your family or your family is growing up and moving on, I would be honored to be a part of that. To photograph the love between you and your partner grow into a tiny family and then follow that family through the college years and beyond - its the part of my job that I will always love the most. So thank you for considering me to photograph every step of your life.

Avery – 3 Months Old {Houma Baby Photographer}

Posted on July 12, 2011

I love this little girl so very much, I could eat her up! This is my other little niece, Adalyn’s baby sister and though I’m a little partial, I think they are two of the cutest girls in the world (besides my Em, of course!) Avery is already 3 months old and she is seriously the sweetest, most mild-mannered baby I’ve ever met. All she does is eat, sleep, smile and coo – over and over again throughout the day. She falls asleep pretty easily when I rock her, has the sweetest smile and laughed at her nanny before she laughed for her mommy! (Sorry Mandy!) Despite the fact that it was super hot and humid this day and we kept interrupting her sleep, she was a perfect angel for her 3 month session. My sister had an idea of what look she wanted for the photos and Avery cooperated wonderfully. After giving us a few sweet looks and smiles, she fell asleep quickly when I held her and stayed asleep as I moved her around to different locations and baskets. I’ll be shocked if I ever get a 3 month old to do this for me again, but I’d love to try! Even though I miss my studio and loved shooting indoors, I’m beginning to really embrace the outdoor stuff as well. This is the type of stuff I’d want hanging on my walls!
