Why we ranked them
Why we chose Heather Howard Photography
Heather Howard shoots almost exclusively on film, a choice that sets her apart from most of the digital-first newborn photographers working the Jackson Hole and Teton Valley circuit. She describes herself simply as a film photographer, mother, and nature lover, and her site's own tagline pairs family and newborn work together rather than treating newborns as an add-on to a family-portrait business. Her portfolio leans heavily on natural light and real Teton backdrops — sunlit forests, lakeshores, mountain trails — carried over into softer, grain-textured newborn and family images rather than the crisp, heavily edited look common on digital-only sites. She splits her service area across two states, working both the Jackson Hole side of the Tetons and Teton Valley on the Idaho side, which matters for Jackson families who might otherwise assume a photographer only serving one side of the pass. Film photography also means a different workflow than most competitors: rolls get developed and scanned rather than reviewed instantly on the back of a camera, so turnaround and a bit of patience look different than a same-day digital preview. For a Jackson Hole family drawn to a timeless, slightly nostalgic film aesthetic for a newborn or family session rather than a polished digital finish, her body of work is a distinct option in a market otherwise dominated by digital shooters.
