About

Hi! I’m Heather Damaske, photographer and owner of Studio C7. You can call me H, most people do.

My love for photography began at a pretty young age. My parents gave me a little Kodak for Christmas when I was 8. In the Chicago winter, I shot nine rolls of the falling snow between my house and the neighbor’s house, and the fascination with creating images has never left me.

My education consists of a BFA in Photography. My first professional assignments were photojournalistic in nature for Georgia magazines and print publications. They instilled in me the essentials of location lighting, working on the fly and visual story telling. I then began photographing food and products for a local press in Atlanta.

I left Georgia and moved to Minnesota (yes – by choice!) in 2006 to open my own photography studio, focusing on wedding and commercial photography. I love what I get to do for a job. I strive to create images that are as inspired and unique as my clients. Let me tell your story in photos.
