Welcome to Pine & Forge, where all types of couples are invited to simply be themselves in front of my camera.

WHY PINE & FORGE?

TO PINE: to yearn for someone or something

TO FORGE: to create, to form with fire

Hello! my name is heidi and I'm thrilled you're here.

My happy little family consists of me, my fiance, my two extra snuggly cats, Dexter & Archie and two rescue pups, Lola & Maverick. Anyone who knows me well, knows I’m mega-obsessed with these four fur babies.

I grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, call Omaha, Nebraska my second home and currently live in Saint Petersburg, Florida — my Sunshine City!

I’m fascinated by color - especially in fashion. My closet no longer qualifies as mostly black. 

My favorite thing to do when I’m not shooting or snuggling with my fur babes is scuba diving.

I’m a three-time croquet tournament champion and I won’t say no to a new adventure or food. And if I don’t know what else to talk about, I’ll start talking about my pets.

That’s me in a nutshell and I would be honored to photograph the life moments you wish to cherish forever!

On the daily: I believe in warm fuzzies — they make people happy and happy people are the best people.
