about heba

the inspiration behind :: live.laugh.love.click ::

i was born & raised in chapel hill, north carolina.  i love the color orange.  i like to pretend i need coffee to start my day, but ask anyone who knows me & they will say i am "naturally caffeinated."  i never had a pet growing up & my world now revolves around my beagle, sammy.   i love a feel-good story, stopped watching violent movies five years ago & have seen a handful of the 'seven wonders of the world'.  i am a proud ambassador for lululemon.  i live for capturing moments that may otherwise be lost forever.  i was on a hit reality tv show, ran my first half marathon weeks after my 31st birthday & a year after weighing 300 pounds. some people call me over ambitious, but i like to keep them guessing.   dull was never the way i wanted to live & if i am in charge of writing my own story, it's going to be a good one.

i love to photograph in natural light.  nothing captures the beauty of a moment like the sunshine.  there are a number of locations that i prefer in the raleigh-durham-chapel hill area, but i also love to come into your home & spend time in the environment where you feel the most at ease.  our time together is meant to feel like a visit with an old friend.  we will laugh & i promise to make you cry- because you will love what you see.  happy tears are a good thing.

i have let this dream of photography come & go a dozen times over the last 15 years, & am so happy to be doing what i truly love & to be creating memories that you will cherish & pass down for many years.  some of my most precious possessions are old photographs because they tell a story.

 what will your story be?
