"I want my photographs to tell stories. And I want stories that come from moments of life, like a still from an old movie. Movement and pain and the simple joys of being alive are frozen in time. Only a glance is needed to read the lines between people and find the story."

Heather Evans Smith’s photographs reveal the magic in the everyday, opening a door to a world where cowgirl princesses and classical guitarists meet in the peculiar light of her imagination. Domestic scenes with a vintage flair give way to the warmth of a wedding Saturday, to images of friendship and new motherhood. Slices of life that might otherwise go unseen take shape through her lens, telling the subject’s story in an unexpected new way.

Smith’s work includes client, exhibition and commercial pieces and has been featured in both solo and joint exhibitions, various magazines, the book "In Her Own Image" and on book covers in the U.S. as well as Europe.

    "I met Heather a few years ago and have worked with her on several projects. Both in front of and behind the camera, she has a timeless look and is leaks inspiration from all angles. She is very thoughtful with her images both while taking and processing them and I feel blessed to know such an amazing person in real life!"

    "Heather's stream is just so amazingly beautiful - easily one of my favourites too.
    I don't know her at all, personally, but she comes across as very creative, genuine, and seriously beautiful (inside and out) - and those qualities are totally reflected in her images.
    Keep up the awesome work, Heather. I need you for inspiration. :-)"

    "Easily one of my favorite streams on flickr. I check every day to see what beautiful, new image Heather has created...Im her 'flickr stalker'! Her work is very thoughtful and there is a warmth that flows through all of her shots that I haven't seen anywhere else. Such honest, lovely tones! You know a Heather Evans Smith shot when you see one and that is really the mark of a great artist.
    I'm so glad to have discovered her work and to have had the chance to get to know her a bit...she's as lovely as her work!

    "Such beauty, poise and talent! I love the way Heather looks at the world and she never ceases to amaze and inspire me. Her pictures are like glimpses into a magical world where the colours are more vivid and textures are transformed into wonderfully tactile landscapes. Her vision and creativity are matched only by her outstanding technical skills which make each picture a little lesson in perfection...

    Heather, you are amazing!

    Kate :-)"

    "Heather is a remarkable photographer and I have had the pleasure to enjoy her pictures for several months. Her subtle tones add an air of mystery to her pictures and each capture tells a hundred stories… each captured brilliantly by her. She is one of the best photographers on Flickr and I know that a person shouldn’t be envious, but I, for one, would love to have a fleeting moment of success comparable to the brilliance that she captures in her pictures. Thanks for your inspiration…. You are awesome!"

    "heather's art has changed a part of me. this part, a window, that i leave open for others to come and go as they please. sometimes things are neater than when they first arrived, sometimes they are more messy. heather ripped that door right open in the most beautiful way. ever since the first photograph, all i can say is that my glass is never full and i'm left wanting more. art that is so brilliant, it's unspeakable."

    "Heather's photography simply leaves me breathless. I have yet to see something from her that I don't love and envy. Her use of light is quite possibly the best I have ever seen. Her photos have such a daydreamy, impossibly beautiful quality. I could easily find myself lost in her photos for hours on end. Everything, from her landscapes to her portraits, is captivating. She is equally good at making use of amazing settings as she is at turning the ordinary into something magical. I am so very glad I found her here, as she is now and will continue to be a huge source of inspiration. xo"

    "Heather's style is elegant, feminine, with a dreamlike quality. She has such great eye for aesthetics and I absolutely love her use of colors. With her very admirable composition as well as post-processing skills, she produces refined pieces of art that always make me hang around her pages longer than I normally would, taking in all the flawless details and inevitably getting lost in her beautiful world at the same time. :)"

Her photos are so beautiful, the colour! the light ! *swoon* ;) My favourites are those with that brightly coloured retro feel, she does that so well. I am the proud owner of one of those prints, and it looks AMAZING in real life ! So keep doing what you do heather, and I will keep checking your stream every day !"
