Hi, I’m Heidi — the photographer behind Heidi Houser Photography, located in Hickory, North Carolina.

With over 28 years of experience, I specialize in newborn, maternity, baby, and family photography. My studio in downtown Hickory is fully stocked with everything needed for a relaxed, seamless session—from wraps and headbands for newborns to simple, timeless setups for families.

I’m known for keeping sessions easy and stress-free, especially for new parents. Newborn sessions are carefully scheduled in the morning when babies are at their best, and I only photograph one newborn per day to give each family my full attention.

My style is clean, natural, and focused on real connection. Whether it’s your baby’s first days, a growing family, or a maternity session, my goal is to create images that feel timeless and never overdone.

Most sessions take place in my Hickory, NC studio, but I also offer outdoor sessions at sunrise or sunset for families and maternity clients who want a natural setting.

After your session, you’ll receive an online proof gallery where you can select your favorite images. From there, you can download your photos and order professional prints, albums, and wall art delivered right to your home.

If you’re looking for a newborn, maternity, or family photographer in Hickory, NC or the surrounding areas, I’d love to work with you.

Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me working on my home, rearranging something, or planning the next session setup. I like things simple, clean, and done right the first time—and I run my studio the same way.
