Clouds saved the day

Posted on May 10, 2011June 12, 2021 by Heather

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.

A Complete Family

This family was a complete circle. It was sweet to watch how much Shawna loves her baby sister Elsa. Caleb never let big brother Coleman get very far from his sight. The admiration in Coleman’s eyes for his daddy was more then evident. Mom kept it all working, following and coordinated. I am not naive enough to believe it’s always this smooth but for our beautiful fall session you could see how they are a complete family that loves each other and makes it work. It was a joy to photograph them.

Delight

Miss Eliza B has grown since our last session. http://heathernelsonphotography.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/miss-eliza-b/ She has turned one! She still has those delicious cheeks and is full of personality. She was very uncertain of walking for me, it took to the very end of the session and some solid ground to see her take off. She was a delight to photograph.

Ended with a Splash

Ava’s session went very smoothly. She knows how to work the camera with that adorable shy smile. She knows just the look to give at the right moment. She is just plain cute! The best part of Ava’s session for both her and I was the end. Her mom thought it was a great idea to let her play in the splash foundation. Ava loved getting permission to touch the very tempting water and being allowed to not only touch it but get wet! I loved it for the pure expression of 4 year old gives when getting to play in water. It made for a great ending to a fantastic session.

Entertaining

You are never sure when Lilly will break into song or have a silly little phrase come out of her mouth. She is very advanced in her verbal skills for a 2.5 year old. This makes the things she says so unperdictable. She cracks me up. I am often surprised at what she says and how even knew that word or phrase. I know she leaves her parents laughing all the time. She is entertaining to say the least and it was great fun to capture the many faces of this delightful girl.

All grown up

I first met Lindsie when she was apart of a youth group that I helped at in college. I have fond memories of Lindsie as a teenager but she is all grown up now. It’s amazing for me to see the woman she has become. I had the privilege of photographing her family. She is now not only the mother of three cuties but an amazing wife as well. Along with her family I met and photograph her in laws who adore being grandparents to these three adorable kiddos. It was a beautiful day, a wonderful session and a great family to photograph.

Being an Aunt

Posted on October 21, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Jane embraces her role as an aunt to the fullest, with her beautiful nieces I do not blame her. It is evident in the way she pours her love into each of these little girls. They very obviously return that affection as well. Jane is accomplished, tender-hearted, and just overall fantastic person to know, all traits I am sure the older they get the more and more they will realize what a blessing having Jane as their aunt is.

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!
