Dream League

Posted on July 21, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

I had the opportunity to photograph a few basketball games through Dream League ( is Kansas City’s new NCAA Certified Pro-Am basketball league. The league is comprised of current and former college and professional athletes looking to prove themselves against the “best of the best”. ) This League is sponsered through Livin the Dream. http://www.livin-the-dream.com/#/home

“Livin’ The Dream is an organization geared towards the positive influence of all people through the game of basketball. At Livin’ The Dream we believe “Everything is possible for him who believes.”(Mark 9:23) and we help others realize the potential that lies within each of them to live out their dreams in today’s society. We encourage those people to dream and believe in order to achieve their lifelong goals. Livin’ The Dream inspires people of all ages with the love of Christ by using basketball as a teaching platform. We currently provide basketball camps, clinics, private skill development, youth basketball teams and national and international exhibition competitions against college and professional teams.”

I enjoyed getting to try to use different skills with photography. It was also fun to see such talented players play in one location. I look forward to photographing the Championship game on August 7th, 2011.

A Busy but Blessed Life

Posted on June 6, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

I photographed Jenny’s wedding almost 4 years ago. It’s amazing how quickly ones life is filled with marriage and children. Jenny moved to Arkansas but I have kept in touch with her via her mom. It was great that we could work out a session when she was back in town for a visit. She has two sweet little ones that are close in age, they keep her very busy but just as richly blessed!

Clouds saved the day

When photographing two active boys under 3 cloud covering can be a photographers best friend. The weather even though cloudy was perfect for our session. It allowed me to photograph these two adorable boys where ever they felt like going. I love this freedom because I get to photograph them being themselves. William and Issac kept me on my toes but it was so much fun to watch them both interact with their mom and dad. This is a truly loving family. It’s hard to believe just a year ago http://heathernelsonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/stylish-baby/ they were little ones and how fast life changes and they grow. Such a privilege to get to photograph this family again, especially on a cloudy day.

Sometimes a story unfolds

Posted on May 2, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

One thing I love about photographs is words are often spoken through them. I can easily imagine what this series of picture would have said in the 1940’s at Union Station. I would love to hear your story that these photographs inspire, the best story will receive a gift. Happy story telling!

Melt my heart

Olivia is a sweet, little bitty of a thing. She was just so precious and easy to photograph. She performed like a professional model. I was already pretty captivated by her when she open her eyes and my heart melted for this little peanut! I can tell by how much her family loved on her during our session I am not the only one.

An Adventure at Union Station

Posted on March 28, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

I had a great session full of adventure with Lilly and Layla. We went to the Union Station which was full of awesome photography opportunities. We had several clothing changes that added to the fun of different styles and different looks. Their mom gave me permission to do whatever I wanted to do which allowed me to push myself creatively and do things I might not otherwise do. The girls were great sports and we were able to capture some timeless photographs.

Our New Addition

Posted on February 6, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

I have taken a few months off but for good reason. We welcomed our son Nehemiah Colin on November 17, 2010. He is a sweet little boy. Alea has adjusted to being a big sister beautifully! I thought you might like to get a peak at him. I am looking forward to getting back working with clients and photographing the moments in your life. Hope you enjoy my little man’s newborn photos.

Serious Little Man

Posted on November 11, 2010June 12, 2021 by Heather

Evan arrived just over a week ago. http://heathernelsonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/anxiously-awaiting/ Everyone was more then excited about the arrival of a little boy! He is a serious little guy. While he was a wake he sported raised eyebrows and often gave me a frown. His two sisters adore him and are so good with him. I loved watching Evan do everything in his power to find his daddy whenever he spoke. This little man is much loved and adorable!

She makes everything from clothes, to bows and hats, just to name a few. She has a large array of items she sells. It’s worth taking the time to check out her Etsy page and facebook page.
