Hi, I’m Heather — founder of

The Velvet Drifter.

My mission is simple: to create content that inspires people to book, stay, and come back for more.

With a background in photography,  digital marketing, and a heart for beautiful spaces, I specialize in helping brands and hosts like you translate your value into visuals. Whether I’m capturing a serene sunrise from a mountain retreat or styling your brand’s product in an authentic travel setting, I create with purpose, passion, and strategy in mind.

When you work with me, you’re not getting basic influencer marketing — you’re getting a professional partner who sees your property or product the way your ideal audience would love and interact with.

Get proven results with a professional  and strategic content creator

I specialize in producing high-quality photography and short-form video that reflects the mood, charm, and unique story of each brand — ideal for social media, websites, or booking platforms without the hassle of working with a high cost influencer.

The fact is - consumers love authentic content from trustworthy people. Check this data: UGC speeds up ROI—campaigns generate 2× higher ROI, cost 25–50% less than professionally produced content, and boost sales by 208% according to some studies.

Whether you’re a boutique hotel, a design-focused Airbnb host, or a lifestyle brand, I offer tailored content creation that fits your vibe, vision, and tangible goals. I focus on emotion-driven storytelling, scroll-stopping visuals, and content that invites your audience to take action.

Through uplifting and invigorating visuals, I craft content that doesn’t just look beautiful but makes people want to book, stay, and remember.
