A different kind of dream

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

A typical couple in their late 20’s is going after the American Dream. You know the white picket fence, the nice house, the 2. 5 kids and dog, this is not true of Travis and Kristy. They are after a different kind of dream. The have a heart to adopt. They sacrifice daily in order to not only provide for their three children but for the ones they hope to adopt one day. They are some of the most amazing people I have ever meet. They are humble in spirit and talk about their dream and life as simply as something they feel called to do. I was so happy to be able to photograph this wonderful family.

Miss Lilly

Posted on October 8, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

I am amazed to have the privilege of watching this little girl grow up. It is rather remarkable how much changes in just six short months. Lilly’s last session was at her first birthday, she is now over 18 months old. Lilly is now very talkative and is so bright. She says so many words. She is walking this time around, or should I even say running. Her little personality is shinning through. She learns and experiences more and more each day. It was fun to capture the changes.

An old friend’s little sweetie

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

Jenny is an old friend that I had not seen for years. She got a hold of me because she was in town for a few days and really wanted me to photograph her and her precious little girl Maija. I am so glad we were able to work out a session. Maija is a sweet little girl that did an amazing job during her session. She of course was full of energy as I would expect any 2 year old to be, however she followed directions wonderfully and we were able to create some fantastic images. We even got to catch of few of Jenny and her together. Of course the session would not be complete without Jenny having a mini session of her own.

The Vaughn Family

Posted on September 9, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

To know the Vaughn’s is to know a family full of love and passion. They are the type of family that literally would give you the shirt of their back. They are the type of people that are the first to offer any help they are able. The addition of Evalana has only added to their well of love and depths it can go. I am not sure if Evalana knows just how loved she truly is. I count it a privilege to have people like that in my life.

Exploring Everything

Posted on August 31, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Evalana is exploring everything. She was interested in the water, the trees, my stools, her play car, you name it she wanted to explore it. She didn’t seem to mind me photographing away at the same time. Every once and awhile she would look up at me give me a look like, “wonder what she is doing” then go back to her determined task at hand. As you can see Evalana has remarkable blue eyes. I loved getting to capture not only the beauty of them but the life she captures in them.

Sweet little boy

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

Justus is a sweet nature little man. He found his “spot” on each person that held him and snuggled right in. I do think though his favorite part was getting to lay on the blanket in the basket. He sighed and just relaxed and let me photograph away. He was content to lay there and be admired.

Miss Ava

Posted on August 8, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Miss Ava has just turned 3. She did amazing during her session. She would flash me a smile in a second. She listen to direction so well. I think my favorite part of the session was when I would ask her to portray an emotion and she was able to without hesitation. I have not concluded if she is just brilliant or dramatic. I think maybe just a little bit of both. Either way the photographs turn out great!

Boys will be boys

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

I am amazed over and over again how a boy simply knows things. A boy knows how to make car sounds, play ninja, and create a gun out of anything. They need no prompting from mom and dad. This would be the case with Hudson. A innocent stick was laying on the ground and he in his two year old little boy brain saw a gun. Boys will be boys!

Anticipation

Posted on July 2, 2009June 12, 2021 by Heather

Little Mr. Justus will arrive sometime this week. Danna is hoping that it will be soon and on his own. I am so glad he waited though for us to get some great tummy photographs. As with any new baby there is a lot of anticipation of how he will arrive, when, what he will look like etc. I do know this will be one adorable little boy, and no matter how or when he enters this world he is blessed already with a family that is crazy about him.

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.
