mr. & mrs. session

{heather} — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:32:04 +0000

before i jump in here trying to ignore the fact that it’s been f-o-r-e-v-e-r since i updated the blog, let me just say i’m sorry and there is lots and lots to share. from even before christmas!! i know it’s spring you say, but well what’s a girl to do? i still have our own personal snow pictures to share here on the blog. so maybe i’ll wait until july to share those in hopes that it might remind us of just how cold it was and how long it’s been cold .

i love the idea of shooting “mr. & mrs.” sessions…i think they’re quite fitting if you’ve been married for a little bit and haven’t had your photos updated in a while. colleen and aaron were a blast to work with and their dog is so stinkin’ cute! and if you can’t tell these were taken in the fall. the light is just so sweet in the fall isn’t it?

i’ve officially decided that if elly’s dad kris is ever in need of work and perhaps wouldn’t mind a paycut then i would for sure pay him to come make all my babies happy for their portraits. he had elly cracking up, it was fun to watch.

thank you roebuck family, it’s always such a pleasure!!

i have been so super excited to share this family session with you all! i first met nick and tessa a few months back when jim and i had the opportunity to go to dinner with them. they are a sweet, fun couple, who pastor the Rooted church in fort worth. they told me their story of their adopted daughter olive, who is by the way unbelievably adorable. they spoke of her adoption in a way i have never heard before. they felt called by God to adopt a child to directly live out the gospel in their own lives. how cool is that!!?? what a story of redemption they have through little olive. i knew right away that i had to document this sweet family. i think the outcome is just magical, and not at all because of my efforts. thank you O family for allowing me to be your photographer!

i got to see olive on friday night at jimmy’s birthday bash. and do you know the first thing she said to me? she said…”corn field?” “heather”. melt my heart.

i puffy heart these two images big time.

(above) this was the last shot of the session, and i feel that this moment is simply perfection. they got this in a 30×40 canvas to go over their mantel and i cannot wait to see it!!!!

(above) if this were my child, i would want this BIG in my house i love how unexpected it is.

if life gives you lemons…

I had so much fun with Jake and Angel and their beautiful baby! They braved some of my favorite urban spots and were a joy to work with.

Annabelle and Aubree are so cute and photograph so well. In August we are launching a new product line and Stacey, Annabelle and Aubree’s mom, was lucky enough to snag a few before we launch it. We made her promise not to tell anyone

This is the Sneed family, very dear friends of ours. I’ve so enjoyed getting to be a part of this family. I’ve shot them a number of times and it makes me so proud to see their family grow. Little Emma is a ton of fun to photograph-she’s always ready to strike a pose for me Dutch was so funny when we put him in the grass he turned his little nose up and was making the funniest faces…we soon realized he didn’t like the feel of the grass on his feet. How cute!

Thank you Sneed family for allowing me to capture your sweet family!
