Fall

Posted on October 31, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

When Lindsay approached me about doing family photographs she was sure of one thing, she wanted fall leaves. We tentatively planned a date that we thought the leaves would be in their prime. Well as that date approached it was evident the leaves just weren’t ready. We pushed the date back a couple of weeks. I am not sure if I have ever analyzed the leaves as much as I have in the last few weeks. I wanted the leaves to look beautiful but also didn’t want to miss the window for them either. As our session approached the leaves began to cooperate which I was relieved. However, the session happen to be on the coldest day we had this fall so far. The family was awesome and endured the cold to get some beautiful family photos. It was worth the wait to have the colors of fall gracing the family in the background.

Paths Have Crossed

Posted on October 26, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

I have had the privilege to get to know the Thomson family since Chris came on staff at the same church as my husband. We both have migrated from Kansas City so we easily bonded over important things we missed like Chick-fil-a and Quick Trip. We also have realized several small world moments of knowing the same people. Their children have been particular sweet to my kids which I always appreciate. They are an easy family to get to know and enjoy being around. I am glad their paths have crossed ours.

Just 5 minutes

Posted on October 23, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

I wish everyone in my life could just spend 5 minutes with this incredible family. Here is what I know that 5 minutes would do for you; it would uplift you, inspire you and simply make you smile. Yes, this family is that powerful. You will see people that love each other, serve each other, and strive to honor God in their actions. The weather the day of the session was less then ideal as it decide it was fall instead of summer that day. However, I never heard a single complaint from any of them. I am telling you simply remarkable family, just remarkable! Once we completed the family session we focused on the tiniest of the family as she just turn one year old. She is a delight! She is full of giggles and one of the best smiles that make her eyes disappear. She is also very loved.

A Love Story

Posted on July 20, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

I love that this love story is 10 years in the making. I love that this love story includes 4 beautiful children. I love that this love story includes authenticity. Tim and Brittany would the first to tell you that it’s not been easy, it’s not all roses and fairy dust but it’s worth it. Their love story involves moves, job changes, career changes and lots of laughs, heart and sacrifice. Their story involves surrendering daily to God. They are willing to do the hard part of working on marriage so they can have a day to celebrate 10 years. These are the love story I truly love.

Never enough time

Posted on July 4, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

Do you have anyone in your life that no matter how much time you spend with them it’s just not enough? I feel like that about the Mercado family. We squeeze in moments here and there through out the year but it never feels like quite enough. It’s almost a guarantee when do find those times my camera makes an appearance. This particular time the focus was a family session. It was as always so much fun to capture this family. I love them so dearly and love to be able to capture images for them.

Difference 10 years makes

Posted on June 20, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

Tim and Brittany celebrated their 10 year anniversary. Brittany surprised Tim with a vow renewal ceremony. It was awesome! In 10 years Tim and Brittany have welcomed 4 children (and still fit into her wedding dress!). They were all front and center to experience their parents declaring their love and commitment to each other. I have many more moments to share from this wedding renewal however I couldn’t let this beautiful family photograph wait.

A Lot to Accomplish in One Day (Part 1)

Posted on May 24, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

This family probably looks familiar to you. I get the very distinct pleasure of being their photographer (even though their mommy is becoming a very good photographer herself). What do you do when you need to photograph 3 year old session, a 5 year old session, family session and a newborn session. Why just make a day of it. I love spending time with this family so it sounded like an awesome plan to me! Since we did SO much in one day I decided to break up the sneak peek into two parts. So you are getting the sweet older girls and family today. Look for some really adorable newborn photographs of their very sweet sister tomorrow. Enjoy!

A Sweet Family

The Corn Family won a session through a fund raiser. I am so glad they did. They are the sweetest family. Abby is as smart as she is adorable. I love watching the special interaction she had with her daddy. He had her laughing and telling stories. It was very endearing. Micah is all boy climbing and exploring but stopping long enough to flash me a smile and show off those gorgeous blue eyes. I really enjoyed getting to know this family better and capturing them through photographs.

“The Princess Has Arrived & She is Perfect”

Posted on March 20, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

Cailyn’s mama has worked very hard to get to hold this precious baby in her arms. She was on bed rest since 25 weeks. There were countless people praying for the healthy, safe arrival of this adorable girl. As soon as she was born the announcement went out, “the princess has arrived and she is perfect!” The joy on her parents face is evident. I am once again blessed to be able to capture a beautiful newborn in all her sweetness!

Sweet Family

Jeanella heard about me through a mutual friend. It happens to be a mutual friend we both adore. This made for a fast and easy connection. Through out our session I got to hear some of this family’s inspiring story. I also was able to photograph two adorable girls. I was a little nervous about a 8 month old, as you never know how they will do. Miss Savannah was a rock star. She smiled on cue almost every time. She also decided to discover her tongue just in time for our session. Valerie also did awesome. I love this age they are full of life and loves and are willing to share with me what those are. One of her very evident love was for her baby sister. She adores her and the way Savannah lights ups when Valerie appears makes it known the feelings are mutual. As I walked about from our session I kept thinking what a sweet, sweet family and how blessed I was to be able to capture their family that day.
