About Heather

Food and hospitality have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in central Kentucky, where the horses run fast, and the bourbon is poured neat, I was raised in a family catering business, learning from an early age that great food is about bringing people together.

That passion led me to create Fueling a Southern Soul in 2017, where I develop, style, photograph, and share Southern entertaining recipes. I'm also the monthly food columnist for Kentucky Living magazine, creating and photographing original recipes and reader favorites. Along the way, my work has been recognized with multiple photography and communications awards.

I believe food is more than something we eat, it's a story. Whether it's a family recipe, a handcrafted product, or a beautifully plated meal, I love creating images that capture its flavor, personality, and the moments it brings to life.

I photograph from my fully equipped home studio in Kentucky. Whether you can ship your products to my studio or you're located nearby for an on-location shoot, I'd love to help bring your brand and recipes to life through beautiful, story-driven imagery.
