50 Essential Portrait Photographers: Kathryn Hart of Hart to Heart photography
Kathryn Hart is the mom of two funny beautiful little girls. She’s lived her entire life in Maple Ridge and is addicted to photography.
Why did you get into photography?
Because I LOVE it! I have always treasured my photos, they are the story of my life. Whether it is your wedding day, or documenting a baby bump, the toothy grin of your toddler, or a precious shot of your whole family, they are all moments in time that are worth preserving with photos. I feel very lucky to be a photographer, I can’t imagine my life without photos and I feel very lucky that I get to share my passion with others by documenting their precious moments.
Tell us a bit about your company.
Hart to Heart photography is 100% me. I love to photograph weddings, baby bumps, newborns, children and families. Most photo sessions are outdoors using natural light, I am always on the look out for new and unique locations. I also use my indoor studio located in Maple Ridge. I look forward to one day soon offering in home studies where I can document families and their pets in the comfort of their own home.
How would you characterize your style of photography?
My style is relaxed, natural, and candid. I like to let kids be kids and just sit back and watch to capture a real moment of laughter or a genuine smile. It is a great feeling when you are near the end of a photo session and everyone is relaxed and having fun and they don’t even notice that your still taking their photo.
Who are your clients?
My clients are engaged couples, expecting parents, newborns, families and grads.
What should your mom clients expect when working with you?
I am a mom of two funny little girls so I know that it can be stressful if they are not comfortable. I try and keep it light and fun and keep the kids involved, I often ask if they will be my helper and they seem to love that. Most photo sessions are between 45 minutes to 2 hours that way there is lots of time for them to be comfortable and have fun. For newborn shoots there is no rush, there is always time for a feeding, a cuddle or maybe a necessary diaper change.
Anything else to add?
I just want to thank my friends and family for all their support it has meant a lot to me and it has help me get to where I am.
