HELLO THERE!
I'M HEATHER HAMBOR
Asheville has been home for the past 26 years. Spending most my life here I acquired an immense connection with nature. Beginning with my first film camera in high school, finding joy in wondering the woods, capturing anything that caught my eye. I soon went on to attend the International Academy of Design-Tampa, FL where I received my AS Degree in Professional Digital Photography. It was there that I found my love for photographing people and learned portraiture with different lighting techniques. After college I returned to the mountains to start my own business as Heather Hambor photography. The majority of my sessions take place outdoors at one of the many beautiful locations these mountains share. I also have a private studio in Leicester that provides studio lighting.
When I am not shooting, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. Hiking, spending the day on the lake, gardening and camping. Travel is a major passion of mine, I truly feel like it is one of the best educators of life. I recently picked up the hobby of metal smithing jewelry, which has been a another fun way of expressing my creativity. I could spend days on Pinterest finding and making new recipes and love creating my own. Along with exploring all the amazing restaurants and breweries Asheville offers! For the most part, I am homebody that loves hanging at home with my guy of almost 12yrs and our two rescue pups that I love entirely way too much!
