About Us

Hi there! I’m Heather Avant, the heart and creative spirit behind Artfully Avant LLC, based in Dallas, Texas, though my roots (and maybe my love of cozy vibes) trace back to southeastern Michigan. My journey with photography started as a simple love for capturing light and moments, eventually leading me to earn a B.F.A. in Photography from Eastern Michigan University. It was there that I discovered the magic of storytelling through images and knew this was my calling.

In 2016, with my husband cheering me on and my incredible friends and family in my corner, I took a leap of faith and launched Artfully Avant. It’s been an adventure filled with heart, hustle, and a ton of grace ever since!

I believe photography is more than just clicking a button; it’s about creating a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease. My goal is to make your experience in front of the camera feel effortless and fun while capturing those moments that light you up inside.

Let’s create something beautiful together, and don’t worry, we’ll have a blast doing it!

Jason Avant is Director of Operations at a Construction firm in Dallas, TX. He helps Heather out as an emerging photographer with a passion for the creative art of photography. Inspired and encouraged by his wife, he has taken the exciting step of building his own portfolio. His work so far includes stunning event and graduation photography and sports photography, and we can't wait to share it with you. We're thrilled to watch Jason continue to grow as both a photographer and an editor in the years to come.
