Kellan is ONE

Lake Norman, NC  Child photographer

 

Kellan is a big ball of adorable love. Oh my.  I photographed him at 6 months and I’m pretty sure he’s twice as tall as he was 6 months ago. He was such a doll for his entire moment of fame…I love all his fun images and you will all want to squeeze him too!! Enjoy!!

The Hampton Children

Charlotte, NC  Child Photographer

 

I could write a book about this beautiful family and our adventurous session…but I don’t have time to spend on the little written details this time around. (so I can hurry up and finish all of everyone’s images…they’re calling my name!) Lots of krispy kremes later, a stolen yellow chair, tons of hysterical images and plenty of fresh bruises…we ended up with a phenomenal session. Three perfect babies…Ella, Scottie and Jake. Truly little miracles. and I love love love their Mommy…beautiful Meghan is a dear friend.

Enjoy…

The Beshears Family

Denver, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

The Beshears ROCK. I don’t even have to write this…you will all see it plain as day in their photos. I captured the real Beshears…and that makes my life happy. (hopefully theirs too) Kathy and Ben are perfect for each other and seriously their two handsome little men are edible. And to top it off they have awesome names…Nash & Benji-Grant :)

Hope you enjoy….

Baby Tate {hello world}

Huntersville, NC   Newborn & Child Photography

 

The Hemrick Family were so so welcoming and sweet to me when I came to their home to meet their newest addition—handsome Tate. Plus, they knocked out their session like pros—and I fell in love with their daughter, Tess!! Such a loving and sweet family!!! Tate was the biggest fan of squishing up for me, but he did stay asleep the whole time I played at their home. :) perfect!! Hope you enjoy!!

Anthony is ONE

Charlotte, NC  Family & Child Photographer

 

soooooooooooo far behind on all my blog updates…thank you rain for ruining our parades weekend after weekend. All the rain caused so many sessions to be rescheduled…causing my good weather days to be PACKED with fun sessions! Either way, I’m behind- but they’re coming. promise.

{ps- all the next updates will probably be short and sweet–sorry friends!!}

 

The sweet Preusse Family met me in the Midwood Plaza area of Charlotte and we bopped around the streets having fun. Little Anthony is soon to be one, so we ended with his cake smash. Unfortunately, the monsoon couldn’t wait for us to finish. Anthony fought through the wind and some rain for that yummy cake of his! And we all were stranded 2 or 3 blocks from our cars…great stories though. We had a blast though…hope you enjoy!!

The Osborne Family

Cornelius, NC   Family & Children Photography

 

So, the good news is…I got to photograph an incredible family this past weekend. The bad news is…I had 5 others that are having to be rescheduled due to yet ANOTHER icky, rainy & cold weekend!!! Fingers crossed that tomorrow begins the new spring streak of sunshine, warm temps and happiness all around!!!

Oz, Kim and precious lil Eli (9 months old) were rocking the 40 and 50 degree temps early Saturday morning, and yes they were dressed for spring. duh. It should be warm, and it should be sunny.  Spring sessions aren’t suppose to look like a spring in Antarctica…thus we have the colorful and springy Osborne Family. We laughed and hung out…I love my fun chats with new friends, and I know that is deep down the real reason behind this so called “talent” of mine. One day if I were to lose interest in people, their stories, their dreams, and their loves then I would most likely go back to only photographing my own children. But as most people know…I can’t stop talking and asking questions. or a better way of saying it- I love to talk and I love to be curious to learn everything about how & why people tick. The Osborne’s adore their main man Eli- and I fell in love with him as well. He does this awesome little nose curl currently…and I want his Mommy & Daddy to remember it forever. I hope I captured the true beauty of this sweet sweet family!

Kelsi {2013 Senior}

Huntersville, NC  Senior Photography

geez…how do I am so fortunate to photograph such stunningly gorgeous people??? Luckily, they’re just as gorgeous inside as out too! I had such a blast with my recent senior session, precious Kelsi! Kelsi is graduating very soon from Lake Norman Charter and will be making her way to UNC Wilmington this fall! I have a good feeling she will absolutely love UNCW and the fabulous beaches close by campus!

Although the weather wasn’t as warm as we would’ve hoped for- our session was incredible. I couldn’t have asked for more perfect light…or a more perfect model. I hope you enjoy Kelsi’s peek!!

Neely {hello world}

Charlotte, NC  Newborn Photography

 

The Plate family welcomed their third perfect little girl into the world not even two weeks ago, and I am so blessed to be a part of it.  Baby Neely is one of the biggest babies I’ve photographed for sure, but there is something about newborn baby rolls that just steals my heart!  Neely wasn’t a fan of being snuggled up into a tight ball or tucked really at all…but towards the end she gave up and became a sleepy and squishy newborn for us! Her older sisters absolutely ADORE her and Lilia (the oldest) would probably take care of Neely all day long if someone would let her.  The middle sister, Evie instantly became my buddy…and she wanted to be in all the action too. Evie has the most gorgeous lips of any little girl I’ve ever seen. hands down. All three of the Plate girls are beautiful and their parents have a lifetime of boys to worry about… hope you enjoy!!

Time for an update…

After the last few sessions I’ve had, and many new people mentioning to me that my personal photos of myself and my personal about me section doesn’t accurately portray the “real” me- I’ve decided to work on a small face lift to my about me section of my blog! I’m not as serious and formal as I must make it seem.

Those of you that get a chance to read this and have a moment please send a quick message with what you think describes me, the real Heather!

The cupcake obsessed, talkative, silly, happy, animal and child loving, sensitive yet strong and passionate Heather will be thinking of a much better peek into my world for the blog! I hope to give all who visit here a little bit more of Heather understanding.

Huntersville, NC  Maternity {bump} Photography

I have never posted my special little wording at the end of all my photos before…but today I decided to do something different. Everyone got to see the Norris’ sneak peek before reading all about them! First of all– WOW, how could they not leave you speechless? Emily and Jacob are gorgeous and just as sweet on the inside. We had an absolute blast hanging out watching the sun set over the lake. They are expecting their first little one very soon and I couldn’t be any more grateful to be a part of their experience! Ellis Claire is genetically destined to be one beautiful little girl, and I am 100% sure she will be adored around the clock by her precious parents. I really had an incredible session with these two love birds and cannot wait to meet their perfect addition very soon!!!
