Hey there, I'm Heather Palecek! By now you already know that I'm a Portrait & Small Celebration photographer from New Jersey, and you've realized that I love to create natural photographs that capture genuine emotion. I live in Ewing and am 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 creating artwork, taking care of my plants, watching re-runs of Parks and Rec, and planning out my next vacation. Since 2011, I've been honing my photography skills and building my business. My goal? To create a comfortable and fun portrait experience for you and your family with excellent customer service.

Services
I specialize in creating timeless outdoor portraits for adventurous, growing families. I capture your loved ones genuine expressions in my signature "candidly posed" warm and colorful portraits. My goal is to create a comfortable and fun portrait experience for you and your family. Outdoor family sessions are typically scheduled in the last two hours before sunset, and in-home sessions can be scheduled at any time.
I specialize in non-wedding celebrations, such as: Baby & Bridal Showers, Engagement Parties, Sweet 16's, Kids Birthdays, Baptisms, and Vow Renewals. Photograph continuously throughout the party to capture many candid moments as well as some planned group portraits, so that every guest will be remembered through my photographs.
Your portraits deserve a place on the walls of your home, where your family can enjoy them every day! I offer a variety of unique, high quality products that will look gorgeous in your home for generations! When you fall in love with all the images from your portrait session, you can preserve them all with an album or a session box!
Heather I am absolutely speechless! These are more than I could have ever imagined. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing all of these beautiful memories of the most fabulous bridal shower ever thrown! Your photography skills are amazing! Anyone would be lucky to have you photograph their special moments.

Words cannot express how amazing my family and I’s experience was with Heather! She made the entire process super easy and stress free. During the shoot she made everything fun, relaxed and kept a smile on everyone’s face (which I promise with my brother is almost impossible). When my mom saw the photos on Mother’s Day she was in tears, my brother and I had not taken pictures together since we were about 6 and 7 years old. She was over the moon happy with the photos! I would 100% recommend Heather and will definitely be booking sessions with her in the future!

Heather did a beautiful job on Laine's senior pictures. She was professional and very prepared. She suggested beautiful places to go as well as for us to bring clothes and props that made the experience even more personal. She captured the true essence of Laine in every picture! We will definitely use her again for all your special occasions and family portraits.

I hired Heather to photograph my mother's 75th birthday party and I can't say enough good things about her. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the first point of contact to the delivery of the final photos.
All of our communication leading up to the party was prompt, clear, and seamless. I really appreciated her use of online forms to both explain what you could expect from her as your event photographer and to gather information about the party/your photography requests - she lays things out very clearly from the start (before you even put down a deposit) which I think speaks to her

Heather is a true artist with a camera. She's down to earth, patient and passionate about her work; and the results speak for themselves (check out her blog). We've used Heather for two maternity shoots and one newborn shoot, and we plan to continue to use her services in the future. She scoped out unique settings for the maternity pictures and took great care at our home for the newborn shots. All-in-all a great person and photographer - highly recommend!

Heather is amazing! Super friendly and "go with the flow" she devoted a ton of time to us despite having to stop for snack and bottle breaks and the occasional tantrum with our two kids. The biggest problem you'll have is deciding which of your gorgeous prints to purchase!! I love that she offered so many extras. We really wanted a canvas and some other photographers I know didn't offer that option. I also love that you view the photos in an online album. It was so easy for our family members who live out of state to view and choose their favorite prints. Highly recommend!
