Luxury Senior Portrait Photography
in Peoria, Illinois

Meet your senior Photographer!

As the heart behind Heidi Peterson Photography, I create timeless, genuine images that reflect your family and the season you’re in. I earned my bachelor’s degree in photography from Southern Illinois University, where I developed the skills and artistic eye that shape my work today.
In addition to my photography business, I’m also a cheerleading coach and love pouring into the next generation. Between small-town living, motherhood, and life at the gym, I stay deeply rooted in community and connection.
If you’re looking to book a session and capture this season of life, you’re in the right place.

One of the biggest questions seniors have is what to wear — and you won’t have to figure that out alone. I’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you choose outfits that feel comfortable, and true to your personal style. You’ll receive a detailed style guide, meet with me for a one-on-one wardrobe consultation to plan your looks, and even have access to the studio style closet to elevate your senior session.
