Welcome InHM Design & Photography is your local fine art school and family portrait photographer serving the Inland Northwest.
WHAT IS FINE ART SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY?
Fine Art School Photography is a custom photography experience for select schools (including preschools, homeschool children, sports and dance schools) in the North Idaho area. I provide a streamlined, personal, professional service and a product that delivers genuine, artistic images of children. The atmosphere for the children is easy and laid-back and fun loving. My love for children helps me to provide an experience for the kids that's fun, easy-going, and captures them with natural expressions. I do not force smiles or awkward poses. The resulting images are relaxed and as unique as the child.

Hi, I'm Heidi, your school photographer! I'm thrilled to be working with your students again this year, even if it's just for a moment.
I love capturing genuine smiles. Some students nail it right away, while others need a quick warm-up – a smile, eye contact, calling them by name. By the end of the day, my cheeks are sore, but reviewing the images later always brings a smile to my face. This job is such a blessing!
A little about me: While I started as a graphic designer, my passion shifted to photography after having children. School photography is the perfect blend of both! I get to use my technical skills and enjoy the energy of being in a school environment.
I'm a country girl at heart, raised in the North Idaho mountains. Family time is everything to me, and I love outdoor adventures. Being a mother has taught me how quickly time flies, and I'm passionate about freezing those precious moments for you.
I look forward to capturing your students' stories this year!"
