I'm a mother, photographer, entrepreneur, teacher, student, and explorer. I'm passionate about being behind the camera, looking for good light, and creating images that make you feel something.

I photographed my first wedding professionally when I was 18, but I've always been the girl with the camera. Being able to freeze a moment in time and to have it preserved forever has always seemed like magic to me. Though photography was a great hobby and job during my years in college and grad school, I always pictured myself behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. Upon graduating with my M.A. in Communication from USC in 2007 (Fight on!), I realized that I wanted to focus full-time on what I truly loved to do. And so, Heather Kincaid Photographer was officially launched and I never looked back.

I’m so thankful that, from an early age, my graphic designer and entrepreneurial parents instilled both creativity and the desire to pave my own path in life. Always encouraging my sister and I to have big dreams and to work hard to achieve them, my parents are definitely to thank for me being where I am in my career right now. They bought me my first real camera, encouraged me to work for, and learn from, a family friend who got me started, and consistently supported my artistic endeavors. Somehow they knew this path was the right one for me even before I did.

In 2011, I met my husband Brian (thank you Match.com!) and we are now the proud parents of two, Charlotte (13) and Everett (10). As a family, we spend our free time being creative, going to sports practices & games, working on house projects, family game and movie nights, and exploring as much as possible.

Being a mom has enriched my desire to document life even more. As a parent, the days may be long but the years are so, so short... Motherhood has clarified for me how to document both weddings & families in a way that focuses on the story behind the images that will be most cherished now and for many years to come.
