Just a little sneak peek at the mini session they did for a sweet Father's Day gift.
I can't wait to see what we do for their family session.
LOVE.

Family and love are really the most important things in life.
I enjoy capturing families so much as my clients want me to photograph
their love...
their bond...
their beauty...
I get to be a piece in their history forever and I LOVE that.

Meet sweet little ~t~.
Just a week old and already showing all her expressions.
I think she will be a force to be reckoned with.
Watch out cousins and big brother, you have a sister in the house now and she will rule you all.
I can just tell.
And I can't wait to see their family love grow even more over the years.
I heart this entire family.

Here are some from her newborn session.

If you have been following for a while, you may recognize them from all their shoots, from maternity to day-in-the-life of (wow...how lucky am I that I get to document them):

I really love this {gorgeous} family.
And I really love that they are game for whatever and puts their trust in me to capture them differently every time.
These are just some of my favorites images from the second part of their session to  memories of life after little ~j~'s first birthday.
So, why not photograph bath time which is so much fun for little ~j~!
These are the type of memories that will make them smile 30 years from now, because this is what they do as a family.
And doesn't he have the best smile ever?!
Just too sweet.
L.O.V.E.

Yes, this is what our family does for fun sometimes.
We go scouting for new spots and take the girls with us to go on "adventures".
My talented hubby took these images and they are my new favorites.
I will most definitely have them up on our walls very soon.
I also really wanted to have Daniel document the special bond the girls and I have.
These ages are sometimes very hard :), but I love all the amazing moments we share together and really wanted something just for us girls.
They are growing up way too fast and I want to remember these moments forever.
...
More photographs from this and another session of us coming soon.

{from little gg to her mom}
Thank you for holding me.
Thank you for reading to me.
Thank you for loving me from my head to my toes.
I love you more than you know.

And how could I possibly not get a few of { c & his cousins } too!
These boys were hilarious and I laughed (and chased them) the entire time.

xoxo ~ heidi

I know...I know...he is way too adorable.
These are some photos from a recent session taken to update his modeling portfolio.
I have photographed { C } & his family before and adore them so very much.
More family photos to come when we are in New York City this Fall.
I can't wait!

I am behind on the blog a bit...
I swear I am not slacking...
I have been:
traveling for clients,
designing albums,
completing orders,
designing & hanging wall layouts & galleries,
photographing amazing people,
putting up all the client galleries,
putting finishing touches on the new book/magazine,
taking lots of photos,
starting a new mini-design shop,
trying to stay inspired,
pounding my head to stay creative,
reminding myself to stay true to what MY direction is for my art,
trying to stay sane,
oh ya...
and trying to be a good mom and wife and friend...
...wait, almost forgot to put in there that I am trying to find time for, well, me...
These are all no easy tasks, but I am taking them one step at a time...
Thank you for being patient on the blog...
I promise there is a lot to post and I can't wait to share...
It all will start tomorrow as I am staying put for a while...
See you then...

xoxo ~ heidi

I have had the honor to photograph this wonderful family for a couple years now.
I was so excited to hear that they had another little baby girl.
If we lived in the same city, I just know our girls would be the best of friends.
I LOVE this family and can't wait to document their daughters as they get older.
The favorite part of what I do for a living is that I get to know a family so well and see the dynamic of their love and family evolve over time.
I can't even express in words how much I love the families that choose us to photograph their lives.
Enjoy.

The strongest fighters can come in the smallest packages.
This little miracle gave the fight of her life so she could be here with her family.
What a little blessing and a gift she is to her very strong family.

Yesterday is history. 
Tomorrow is a mystery. 
And today?
 Today is a gift.
 That's why we call it the present.
