This Girl

Posted on October 14, 2016June 12, 2021 by Heather

This girl taught me about love at first sight and how my heart could be filled for a tiny little being. She has in countless ways prepared me for motherhood. This girl has been a joy all along. She has a brilliant mind. This girl loves justice and mercy. She is such a loving, giving soul. She is stunning. This girl is full of giggles and having fun. She loves Jesus fiercely and seeks to serve Him. This girl insisted on growing up. She is becoming a remarkable adult. This girl is Union High school Class of 2017, and Iowa State bound. This girl might never know how much her aunt loves her. How proud she is of her and feels blessed to capture her for these milestones. Love you Hallie Girl and so glad I get to be on the sidelines for you life cheering you on.

Our paths keep crossing

Posted on June 3, 2010June 12, 2021 by Heather

The Adkison family has been in my extended families life one way or another for the last several years. I originally met them when they moved to my parents hometown. Erine worked at the church where my dad volunteers. They only had two little ones then. I would often enjoy chats with them when I visited my folks. I happen to be home the weekend that their youngest was born. Then a few years ago they made a move and Erine ended up being the pastor at my brothers church. So our paths still keep crossing. I enjoy anytime I get to spend with this remarkable family. Mindy has been wanting me to photograph her family for awhile I am glad that we were able to work out the details to create some great images.

My little model

Posted on May 12, 2010June 12, 2021 by Heather

Hudson is one handsome boy and by the looks of his modeling he knows it! He, (with the help of his dad) were giving me some great poses! He also had the most stylish outfit. When you put all these elements together you have model material for sure! Which model material always makes for a fun session and great images.

Another amazing couple

Posted on July 1, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Harry and Linda have been married for 37 years. Once again I am amazed and inspired. I hope that Jon and I feel as at ease and comfortable with each other as Linda and Harry when we have been married that long. I also hope we are full of laughter, just like them. It’s so encouraging to see couples who beat the odds and make their marriage last. Thanks for being an example!

An Aspiring Photographer?

Posted on June 29, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

I had the opportunity to photograph three generation in the Moody family. After our photography session Cole started asking me about photography. Of course, I loved telling him the details of my work. He asked me awesome questions! Definitely a handsome, intelligent, young man. I hope that his interests turns into a hobby and who knows maybe a career.

The Hadachek Boys

Posted on June 24, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

The Hadachek boys are a handsome group. I stated my claim to their mom that I would take no responsibility when these boys photographed older then they are. I was amazed to find out that J. was only 12 and B. was 10. L. of course looked and acted like a typical 1.5 year old; running, running, running. I was so grateful for the older boys who helped chase him. There is an obvious love between the three boys. We had a great session! Good luck Mom and Dad with these handsome boys, lock your doors now!

The Prouse Family

Posted on June 22, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Teagan and Tristen were a dream to work with. They are beautiful girls that really enjoyed being in front of the camera. I had no need to pose them, they were turning this way and that and giving me just that right look. Their parents didn’t do too bad either. It made for a fun afternoon of photography.

Cuties

Posted on June 19, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Emma and Gracie are cuties! Gracie was not so sure about me at first. She didn’t want to be out of arms reach of her mom so we started with Emma. Emma was great! She loved posing and knew just the right look to give me. When it came to Gracie’s turn she quickly decided I could be her friend because I had gum. We were able to capture great images of both girls and even a few together.

Almost 40 years!

Posted on June 18, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Necia and Stan are on the verge of 40 years of marriage. I find that so remarkable and encouraging. They still make each other smile, I think that might be one of their secrets. I was also impressed as they shared with me that their weekend project was to replace the floor in the play house they have on their farm. What a neat memory many children that they touch will have in that play house.

A woman of substance

Posted on June 17, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

The moment I met Suzanne I knew I liked her. After spending the weekend in Dysart, the fact she was a woman of substance was confirmed over and over again. I know she has been a valuable friend to my brother and sister-in-law. It warms my heart to know that they have that love and support. Her children only further confirmed her character. They were charming, polite and not to mention crazy photogenic!
