HALLÅ!
We're Heidi & Jesse
We both grew up in #NEPA. We've enjoyed living in different areas of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, & now Florida. In 2012, an opportunity came our way to live abroad so we packed it all up and moved to Eskilstuna, Sweden. We've eaten our fair share of Swedish meatballs, frolicked in the forest, rode our bikes year round (yes - even in the winter and below freezing tempts), went mushroom picking, and we even tried Surströmming (who are we kidding - we took one whiff and it was a NO from us). #NICETRYSWEDES #WELOVEYOU
As much as we loved our life abroad (the unforgettable memories & close friendships we made) it was time for warmer days. After seven years of life in Sweden, we packed it all up again and headed back to the states. We are now defrosting in Tampa, Florida #sunsandsea. Our full time gigs are in education & banking operations. Our micro photography business allows us to take on a limited number of clients each year. It's our pleasure to use our professional photography, videography, & drone skills to help business professionals show up better and to help families capture beautiful memories.

Heidi Stella
I have a long love of photography reaching far back to the days of film photography. Yep! I'm old school - I LOVE B&W photography and creating films. Capturing motion and creating highlight films from our travels is what sparked my interest in videography on a professional level. It's such an honor engaging with clients and learning how we can help them before, during, and after their sessions. It's my nature to be thorough, a quick responder, mindful, creative, and helpful.
Jesse James
I capture our bird's eye view for commercial and family/lifestyle sessions. During photoshoots, you'll find me helping with posing and setting up the scenes. Behind the scenes, I work diligently organizing and getting us ready for commercial shoots as well as lifestyle/wedding shoots. I'm an avid researcher, have a plethora of professional development books, and am a best practice enthusiast.
Note: The FAA requires commercial drone pilots to obtain a "license" to fly. Is your drone pilot certified by the FAA to fly commercially? Ask them!
