Doing Our Bit

Here at Heenan Photography we believe in doing our bit. We will be donating a percentage of our profits to help protect the environment for everyone to enjoy. The natural world is important for many reasons, and of course it is crucial for nature photography too! You can find out a bit more about our donations, and the organisations we are helping to support, on the new Environmental page.
