PS: I skied this mountain!! [ Squaw Valley in Tahoe where the winter Olympics were held 50 years ago ] After only ever have gone skiing at Peek ‘n Peak this was a pretty big deal to me, it was awesome! And it was 55 degrees and we got to ski without coats on, so that was pretty awesome too

Kelley & Mike’s Jamestown NY Engagement Session | Jamestown Wedding Photographer

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

We met up with Kelley and Mike in Jamestown for their engagement session. It was so much fun getting to shoot somewhere new! We saw so many great places to photograph in the Jamestown area and we chose several downtown locations. We had beautiful blue skies and some sunshine to keep us warm on this incredibly cold afternoon.

Heather & Nate’s Winter Engagement Portraits

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Murl and I got together with Heather and Nate on what seemed to be the coldest, windiest weather we’ve ever photographed in. I think with the wind chill it was below zero! But they were absolute troopers and we had some fun running around North East and heading up to Peek’n Peak for their engagement session.

Back from California | Family Portraits + Vacation!

Friday, February 19th, 2010

We just flew in from California late last night and the trip was absolutely amazing. It was my first time in Cali and we did so many fun things while we were out there. We photographed two families at their homes in Berkeley, which I will share on the blog in the upcoming weeks, celebrated my birthday skiing at Squaw Mountain in Tahoe where my cake read “Heather is 28…and hot!” [ Thanks, Murl! ], ate way too much yummy food and drank wine in Napa and Sonoma, spent some time at the Pier in San Francisco and best of all, hung out with family that we don’t see nearly often enough.

That is a shot of the vineyards surrounding the Robert Mondavi winery in Napa Valley. Now it is back to the real world [ and the gym… and a more reasonable calorie intake! ]. I will be responding to emails and phone calls starting on Monday. I will be posting both Heather & Nate and Kelley & Mike’s engagement sessions today and Monday.

<3 Heather

Amy + J.R.’s wintry Engagement Session

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

When we got together with Amy and J.R. for their engagement session we did a somewhat unique take on the usual shoot. It was so cold that day that we did a few mini-shoots here and there so that their noses didn’t turn red and our fingers could still operate the cameras I was all bundled up, wearing my ski pants! It was fun and a bit of a challenge to work as fast as we could. They did a great job and were so easy to photograph. Murl and I are so stoked for the wedding — I know its going to be fun, full of style and at least 40 degrees warmer with lots of time to play!
