Quotes by Heather:
"It takes a lot of deep thought and planning about what you want out of life and what’s important to you. What are your values and where do you want to spend your time? Because it’s so easy for time to just be frittered away with things that aren’t necessarily important to you. So, taking the time to think, what are my values, what are the things that make me thrive? What are the things that make me so happy and just trying to fit them all in."

"We have two boys. We want to introduce them to surfing because we think it's such a beautiful thing in the world. If you learn to surf young enough it becomes something that you can go do anytime. It's an escape. It's a built-in community. It's connecting with nature. It's having respect for the ocean. It's noticing the patterns in nature, through the seasons of winter and summer. I want my kids to have that. I want them to deeply understand that."

"I decided, this is it. I don't want to go to an office every day. I wanna work for myself. I want to be my own boss. I want to achieve and accomplish all of the types of photography that I've always loved."
