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!
Neely {hello world}

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!!

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!!!
The Howard Girls

I am beyond blessed to be a part of the Howard Family’s world. I am thankful I call each one of them my friend. Lindsay and Matt are so dear. I didn’t want to leave after we finished honestly…but for one, Matt ran out of beer and for two, he was starving- so they had to leave. But I am pretty sure we could have chatted the night away watching the sun set out in the fields. Good times for sure. They have two absolutely gorgeous little girls. Ella is 5 and glows with happiness and love. She has the kindest soul. I adore her. Kate just turned 3 and is just as beautiful. Her blonde hair and blue eyes melt me- and has a spice to her that will wrap anyone around her finger. The girls are precious together…always helping one another and doing what sisters are truly meant to do for each other. Another fun addition to the family, is 10 month old Amos- their black lab puppy. He is a charmer. I cannot find one bad photo from all of their images…not one. So I hope you enjoy as much as I know Lindsay and Matt will 🙂
SPRING FUN!!!

With all these gorgeous blooms (plus the abundance of pollen covering every inch of our town, and sinuses), I decided I needed to stop off and grab a couple spring shots of our little monsters. Without them, I truly doubt I would’ve found this passion for child photography- or ever would’ve turned my camera off of auto to figure out what else it would do. These boys are my world. {+God and my handsome hubby} oh, and Cooper and Dozer <our four-legged children>. So, with that being said- it was a nice day and I had a last minute cancellation, so I took the boys out to eat and headed to a beautiful field of yellow flowers! Then I let the rugrats be themselves. To top it off I had a friend with her adorable son meet me there too…so it ended up as a fun playdate as well. You can never have too many photos of your own children. EVER. I know I have always been teased about taking too many of my kids- but I ignore the comments completely. Or laugh because within time they will have children of their own and say “wow, I now understand why Heather takes 10 million pictures of her kids each week.” Life is so short. Make it sweet, happy & fun! Hope you enjoy…Cade (4 years), Jax (2 years), Kolt (15 months) and Kellan (13 months), my sweet friend Alex’ son.
Mr. Kellan in action…
and lastly, I captured a sweet group of guys out to enjoy their evening on bikes…
The Preslar Twins {hello world}

Oh my goodness how lucky is this girl? VERY!! I got to photograph to beautiful baby girl twins that had just come home (finally) from the hospital! Claire and Ella Grace were born 10 weeks early and both were in the 3 pound range….teeny tiny! After 6 weeks in the NICU they got to come home to their Mom & Dad to live happily ever after!! The girls are beyond sweet and make some of the cutest noises I have ever heard in my life. The grunts and squeaks gave me a slight flash back to the days of my own Cade bug in the NICU–awe. It’s amazing how perfectly different these two little angels are- even their tiny but strong personalities. I can’t wait to give their precious parents all their images, and watch these two grow and turn into little toddlers before you know it! I had a blast with this family- enjoy their peek!!
The Brady Family

I absolutely enjoyed my evening with the adorable Brady family!! It was so warm out and their kiddies were in happy moods to play outdoors. Their smallest lil one- Ryan is the tiniest, most “doll-like” 6 month old girl I have ever seen!! She has these awesome big blue eyes and a giant smile. And Mr. Jackson was fun for me…I love little boys that are all boy! He wanted to show me cool stuff and hunt for new rocks- not take pictures, duh!!! Jackson just turned three and I am pretty sure he was instructing me of my job and what was going on in this world better than I could do myself. Fun family—I hope you enjoy a few shots of their evening!!

First and foremost- we are wrapping up Sophia’s 1st year sessions. Bittersweet. I cannot even believe how quickly this year has passed and how much Sophia has changed. I’m so glad we did these photos in some gorgeous blooming trees because it’s a great representation of Sophia. She is stunningly beautiful, sweet as they come and truly a joy to be around at all times. I know her parents feel beyond blessed to have her and her sister & brother. On that note, we decided it would be a great time to capture spring with all their kiddos…and we did exactly that. Our session was more fun than anything. The kids climbed trees, raced, sword fought with branches, and found all kinds of fun. Mia, Anthony and Sophia are all absolutely gorgeous children. So blessed.

Since I am playing catch up and have been completely behind with my blog entires…I will be making these next 5 or 6 a little more brief than normal- sorry friends!! (sick kids, tummy bug, still working on a new nanny, and my hubby traveling=speed bumps!)
The Riepe Family was such a joy to photograph. They are a beautiful family plus patient and extremely loving. I loved their calm vibes, and it made me feel so peaceful as I captured their precious new baby girl, Norah. She was fabulous for her very first modeling session, and her big brother Henry was a superstar. He really is my kind of kid. Henry is all boy, and an awesome dash of love. (that’s what I like to say my own boys are as well) Henry adores Norah. I can’t wait to watch their family grow! Hope you enjoy their peek…
Welcome baby FINN {hello world}

Jessica, Ed and big brother Maddox were so excited to welcome their newest family member, Finn into their beautiful family! I loved spending the morning with them, watching Maddox play and love on his mom and dad. Finn is so perfect, and so tiny. He was such a good little guy and will catch up with his brother so quickly as much as he eats! It warms my heart to know the love and fun ahead for these 2 brothers! Hope you enjoy all of their moments I captured, they are simply a beautiful family.
