Hi, I'm Heather!

I founded the Flourish Academy because I believe in community and supporting photographers above all else. Not only do I believe that there is room for everyone, I know that the world needs your gift… the photos that only you can take. I wanted to create a safe, positive and encouraging place for photographers to learn and grow.

I remember being rejected by others in our industry when I started my business over 17 years ago. And I never forgot how that felt. I was excluded and led to believe that there wasn’t a place for me.

As a result, I was on a mission to prove that we could create something different, a world where photographers of ALL levels are welcomed and encouraged to pursue their passion.

There is room for you.
