Another California Family Session

Heather — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:54:16 +0000

This is the second family I photographed while out in California. The parents are so genuine and sweet and their kids share this same attitude and kind hearts. The boys are both very artistically talented and are now exploring their musical talents; it was fun photographing them as they played their instruments It was so great that after their session was up the kids were surprised an hour had already passed since they had been having so much fun!

I’ll end this post on a triptych of the boys and their swordfight. It was totally cute that they posed for each shot and after the shutter clicked they moved to a new pose and then another. They posed all the way to their faces – it was adorable!

I wish we would have gotten to spend more time with your family, Solange, but it was wonderful seeing you all!

Celebrating Family with Fun Portraits

Heather — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:43:38 +0000

Getting the chance to leave the snow behind and photographing in lush California was a dream come true. I have traveled a lot of places but I’d never visited California before. I didn’t believe it would be so green and in bloom in February, it was a wonderful surprise and made for my warmest birthday ever at a comfortable 70 degrees before heading up into the mountains later that evening.

As I was preparing these images for the blog they made me smile so much! This family is so fun and spunky and they just unabashedly embrace life with a passion. The children were aware of the camera but it didn’t make them retreat or act nervous, they just had fun being kids and expressing themselves! It really was a treat to watch them. I’m going to kick this post off with a couple of triptychs of both of the kids; they were having a good time showing me their dancing skills!

::it was a pretty big day for ruby, her first time riding a bike without training wheels::

::a fun panning shot of emmett speeding by on his own bike::

::love their sweet expressions in the next two portraits::

Gilian — thanks so much for being a wonderful hostess and letting us hang out with your family so much, it was a pretty amazing experience! Hopefully we will get Kevin in some portraits next time! Check the facebook page for some more from this session.

Happy mother’s day to all you wonderful ladies out there! I hope you all had a lovely day with your children and grandchildren. I went out with my mother, one of her sisters and my grandmother yesterday and had an awesome time! It was nice to see my grandmother doing so well for the first time in quite a while.

Thanks to my mother for playing such a huge role in my life — you are beyond amazing, mom!! Thanks for all the support, the behind the scenes secretary work, and being one of my biggest fans. I love you!

Note: The above photo is from a maternity session last week that I hope to get posted in the next few days, so come back and check it out soon!

First Portrait Session in the New Studio!

Heather — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:19:51 +0000

Last weekend my sister-in-law brought her two adorable kids in for some fun in the new portrait studio. We got to experiment with some new backgrounds and my niece seemed to enjoy having her portrait made for the most part – twirling and dancing and chatting. She’s growing up so fast! My nephew surprised me by really wanting to be in the photographs. I think he had a lot of fun posing with his sister – he’s a great big brother.

Sunset Family Portraits

Last night I stopped up to meet my brother’s family’s new puppy Chloe. The light from sunset was so gorgeous and the dog was so cute that I just had to bust out my camera for an impromptu lifestyle portrait session. I wish my brother would have been there, but at least I got these:

::Some of my favorite people::

::trying a little something different::

I had two other photo shoots yesterday so come back soon for some more new stuff…I have tons and tons of new stuff to share, now I have to find the time to post!

Can You Say Best Dad’s Day Present Ever?!

Heather — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:24:42 +0000

Is that not the cutest portrait? This little girl wanted to do something special during her sitting to give her dad for Father’s Day. I totally love it! She is so adorable and was a lot of fun to photograph. Here are three more images from her session —

Some Super Cute Easter Portraits

Heather — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:57:04 +0000

As promised — some wicked adorable portraits. These two came in last week for a quick Easter session.

We got some really cute shots of the two of them together. Here is another:

But then Lexy seemed to take over the shoot while big brother would rather play his Nintendo DS! She looked so darn sweet I had to grab a bunch of shots. Here are a couple of my favorites!

As always — thanks for bringing them in Amy! I always get such cute images of your kids!

Jaden’s Birthday Portraits

Heather — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 20:06:06 +0000

Over the weekend an old high school friend [ who I haven't seen in about 8 years!!! ] brought her son Jaden in for his first birthday portraits. He was such a good little guy and we got a chance to photograph him in a bunch of outfits and include lots of hobbies that he and his parents share. He may have been a little bit fussy throughout the shoot but as soon as we put a wrench in his hand that kid was as incredibly happy as could be. It was adorable and we got some good images in his ‘construction jacket’ with the wrench. Here is a small collection of shots from his session:

Jen – it was great to see you and meet Jaden! I’m so glad you decided to bring him in!
