be sure to update your bookmarks and subscribe to the new blog address www.HEATHERESSIAN.com

this blog will no longer show updates. we’re going to a blog-site only web presence. i’m excited about this because my website was being neglected and i hadn’t updated it in over two years! for me, there’s no sense in updating a blog and a website. yay for cutting down on responsibilities!

gorgeous album

{heather} — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 17:01:26 +0000

when i opened the package that cindy and peter’s album arrived in i gasped! it was just so beautiful…big and beautiful. a 16×12 canvas covered flush mount album. i was so proud flipping through the pages, seeing how lovely their images looked. the album tells the story of their love and wedding day perfectly. it was just another reminder as to why it is so important and wonderful to invest in good photography as well as an album that will showcase your images well! they gave me full creative control and let me design it as my heart desired-i’m blessed to have such great clients that trust me to do so. it really felt like an art piece to me .

i received the magazines that cindy and peter’s wedding was featured in this week! it’s always so exciting to be published in magazines and it could not be done without the exquisite taste of those i work with. they are beautiful inside and out and their wedding was beautiful as well!

2008. christmas. card .designs.

{heather} — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:34:00 +0000

Here are this years Christmas Card designs! You will notice some familiar faces! {I also changed some names just for fun } Let me encourage you all to get the card you like most…not the one that you think others will like. I tend to stray away from traditional Christmas decor so I think you will see that in my designs.

Please know that the last day to order your Christmas Cards will be November 22. It’s super important that this be the last day to order so that I can insure that you have them to mail out in early December. If I’ve shot your wedding or a portrait session at any time you are welcome to place an order with us!
