My name is Heather. You may know me formerly as Heather Pistole Photography. Well, as of August 4, 2012, I am no longer Heather Pistole. It was on that day that I married my best friend, changed my name and started a new journey.

I am still a daughter, sister, lover of coffee and admirer of sunsets. However, now I have added wife and mother to that list. I could not ask for anything better.

So you may be wondering why the name Studio 8412 Photography? Well, in addition to photography I am huge fan of design and have an artistic vision that goes beyond just photos. One of my favorite things to do is to work with my clients to create pieces of art with their photos. Whether that means designing custom graduation announcements or wedding albums, my services go beyond just a photo shoot in hopes of creating ways for my clients to enjoy their photos for a lifetime. So instead of focusing just on photography, I decided to work under a studio name that would incorporate these other services. As for 8412, this stands for 08-04-2012…the day my life changed for the better.

As for my photography, my philosophy is simple: keep things natural. My style of photography is simple yet expressive. I work to make your photographs convey a sense of life and reflect who you are. It’s about capturing mood, expression and emotion through the lens and portraying them with an artistic vision. A great image is great because of the moment it captures, not because of what is done to it afterwards.

I specialize in weddings, lifestyle, first year and senior portraits. I love getting to know my clients and look at each shoot as an honor in helping someone capture a moment in time.

I would love the chance to get to know you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to book a shoot.
