Welcome to H.W. Photography

I am so glad you are here.

Portraits — Lifestyle — Weddings

Mississippi Based. U.S. traveler.

I capture life’s moments, whether that be getting married, graduating college, etc. I am here to document your story.

Let's chat!

My main goals as your photographer…

<> Meet all my clients where they are at. I am working for you, not the other way around

<> Create natural, warm, earthy portfolios that capture a moment rather than a pose

<> Be more than a photographer. I love getting to know my clients and staying in touch. It’s not just about “getting returning clients and referrals” but building meaningful and lasting relationships

<> Have equity and treat no one with discrimination, prejudice, or bias. Outside of photography, I work in the mental health field. I believe this helps me in my work because I not only understand the value of treating everyone with respect, regardless of who they are or their beliefs, but I understand how not doing so harms individuals. Doing no harm is one of my priorities.

Take a look at my work!

Getting covid just a few days before a wedding was one of the more anxiety-inducing experiences as a wedding photographer. So, a huge shoutout to @_briannagracephotography for associate shooting for me LAST minute!!! Loved editing these sneak peeks.

This is my third surprise proposal that has been set up like this, and I will say, all my people planning to propose soon, this is definitely the way to do it!!! I believe it creates a more authentic reaction and it’s also super fun and exciting. Plus, you have a photographer to capture some photos after. To me, these always flow well, and though it’s nerve wracking, it’s also so neat to be a part of🥹🥹 • • • • #msweddingphotographer #proposal #engagementphotography #couplesphotography #msphotography #starkvillems
