in front of the camera as a fashion model
in L.A. and Europe 25 years ago modeling

She is represented by the ubiquitous
and prestigious stock agency, Stone,

In 1998 she decided to switch her path and

skills have translated well in elegant and
sophisticated photography that have made
her photo studios so popular.
She opened a portrait studio in Pasadena in 1998.
In 2004 she opened a second
portrait studio in Long Beach and
in 2007 she opened a third portrait studio in Irvine, CA.

Class time will be from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. during early afternoon lighting conditions. See how Heidi finds great lighting and shows off her posing skills to obtain beautiful images that will impress both clients and judges alike. See how Heidi uses available light, reflectors, a flashlight and on camera flash under different lighting conditions and how to choose which for each situation.

Professionally photographing since 1986, Heidi has used her 23 years of experience to educate herself in all forms of photography. Having received an A.A. in Photography from Palomar College, she joined PPSDC, PPC and PPA about 10 years later and took many of the seminars and classes to broaden her talents in portraiture, her true love.

Heidi received her PPA Certification in 2000 and later received her Fellowship and Service Awards from PPSDC. She is a Past President of PPSDC. Heidi has also won PPSDC’s Wedding Album Photographer of the Year for the past three years.

Heidi owned and operated a commercial studio in Downtown Vista from 1994 until 2001.

Her specialty of wedding photography has been joined by her much acclaimed baby and pregnancy photography, as well as becoming one of Escondido’s high school senior portrait photographers.

All The World is a Studio…

San Diego Photographers! Septembers Monthly meeting speaker is Michael Taylor

Speaker: Michael Taylor
When: Tuesday 10-13-09 @ 6:30 PM
Where: Holiday Inn
3805 Murphy Canyon Road San Diego, CA 92123
Price: Member Benefit. Non-Members $20


Michael Taylor’s passion in portrait photography is the location portrait. This has been the centerpiece of his style since his days as a graduate of Brooks Institute. This style was developed by his work with Paul Skipworth and Skipworth studios. Paul Skipworth himself was greatly influenced by the grand American portrait lineage of Bacharach and Gittings. In this same manner, Michael Taylor works to tell a story about his subject through the use of location and environment.

Through the use of his concept of wall of light to the idea of great lighting from nine to five Michael will greatly expand the WAY and the WHERE you will be able to work to create great images no matter if you are a portrait, wedding or commercial shooter. Through talking about the concepts of contrast, texture, and other visual characteristics he will help to understand how you bring excitement into your image making. Through coming to this seminar YOU WILL better understand what you need to look for to either find or create situations that will make you a better image maker…NOT A LUCKY image taker.

Don't you want to learn how to make images that are great BEFORE the photoshop fix-it.
