Hi Pearl! Yes, that is you. One worthy of the greatest love story.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” - Matthew 13:45-46
Meet Founder and Creative, Heather Marie Ballis
House of Pearl Studio is a boutique studio and lifestyle brand built on thoughtful creativity, community, and a whole lot of—heart.
Heather Marie Ballis began her career by photographing the art of sunlit stories as natural light illuminates the ordinary making life’s moments extraordinary. In doing so— she discovered that beauty is both profound, and yet simple—and simply everywhere!
After graduating from School of Visual Arts in Manhattan with a BFA in Photography she landed in Fort Lauderdale—where her photographic eye for composition and passion for story—propelled creativity onward through portraiture, brand content creation, commercial and residential interior decoration and styling, graphic design, event planning and hosting—you name it, she has done it!
As a diverse studio—the heart of every project remains the same—a passion for community—in which people are seen, heard, and truly known.
Most recently, Heather has achieved a Florida Real Estate license and joined The Coastal Realm Group, brokered by eXp Realty in Lighthouse Point. Between Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, she can help you find your dream home… and assist you to decorate it too!
“I would go to no one else other than Heather for any photoshoot! I had the pleasure of working with her to take some personal portrait pictures.
Firstly, I loved the process - Heather is kind, fun, and has the perfect eye for angles and lighting. It was like having your best friend take your picture!
Secondly, the final product. My husband and I look at those photos constantly - I remember feeling beautiful during the shoot and every time I look at them I feel that way again. My husband couldn't agree more - he saved the portraits to his phone! We cannot recommend Heather's work enough.”- Dina K., Photography Client
