Hey there, I’m Heather Palecek! I’m a Portrait & Small Celebration photographer from Hunterdon County, NJ. I’m known for putting my clients at ease with my warm and easy-going personality, helping to create natural + authentic photographs of families and kids outdoors. With a background in education, I can easily connect with your children and I foster an environment that the whole family is surprised by how comfortable they feel in front of my camera.

Since 2011, I’ve been honing my photography skills and growing my business. My goal? To create a comfortable and fun portrait experience for you and your family with excellent customer service; To capture genuine expression with my “candidly posed” style. I want to give you an opportunity to print your photographs so you can cherish these fleeting moments for generations like I’ve been able to do at my grandparents house for my whole life.

More about me:

I’m a true grab-life-by-the-horns kind of gal! {Think skydiving, mountain climbing, hair blowing in the breeze on the back of a motorcycle kind of adventurer!} In my spare time, you’ll find me rock climbing, out hiking, and planning my next vacation… and to balance it out, you may just as easily find me cozy at home reading a new book or trying out a new recipe.

I spend my summers living in my off-the-grid tiny-home cabin in the Adirondacks, which is why my photography sessions are for Spring + Fall only.  When I’m there I fully immerse into nature, go on adventures with my family, and create the artwork you can find at www.heatherpalecek.com

I believe in resisting convenience and living life intentionally, stewarding Mother Nature, the zero waste movement, feminism, equality for all, and being a good person ~ always doing my best to do good for others.
