The Kester Crew

Denver, NC  Family Photography

 

So yes, I know I’m suppose to be keeping these blog entries quick but there is just so much I want to say sometimes. Thankfully my photos speak for themselves and explain these families perfectly! Kate & Doug are awesome (lame word, I know–but I couldn’t come up with anything better to describe them!), you can see their love and respect for one another within moments of seeing them together. They have three of the most handsome boys, 8, 6 and 2 1/2 years old…and they are all so much fun to hang out with. The outdoors and being real boys is their life!!  The entire time we were playing I was thinking “geez, I can only dream for my kids to be this well-behaved and well-rounded at these ages.”  Their family was such a delight to photograph and I hope you enjoy!

A fabulous bestie, Chance and her handsome son, Pierceson played and partied on the streets of Charlotte…I just tagged along to capture all their fun! Love them and all their cheery photos…enjoy!!

 

Addie & Ella {Fall 2012}

Charlotte, NC  Commercial & Fashion Photography

 

Just picture it…Precious little girls everywhere, dressed in the sweet Addie & Ella Fall 2012 line dancing and playing in the lush green grass at the Duke mansion. Yes, it’s the perfect set up for an Addie & Ella {a gorgeous, little girl’s boutique clothing line} photoshoot. Love all their new pieces for the fall and love all the little girls in them just as much! And of course the Queens behind Addie & Ella, Meghan and Mai-Lis rocked it all, as usual!! Here’s a quick preview of some of the shots…

 

The Wolf Family

{As Fall inches closer, I am realizing I am running out of time for all the long, detailed and fun blog posts with each session. This is the busy season so as sad as this makes me, I’m going to have to start to shrink my length of posts so I can get everyone their photos faster. I’ll be back to normal after Christmas, but I apologize until then!}
The Wolf family are wonderful and I had such an awesome morning at their home with them. Two precious girls (Cassidy- 20 months, Stella- 6 months) and two very loving parents. Hope you enjoy their peek…

 

 

 

Emma {3 months}

Denver, NC  Children Photography

 

The Peterson Family met me for a Friday morning session to capture little Emma, now 3 months! Emma has grown so much since I last saw her! I think we may have picked a bad time of day for her because she was ready for her morning nap, but we captured some cute moments! Hope you enjoy!!

 

Baby Carter {3 months}

Charlotte, NC  Family Lifestyle Photography

 

I’m somewhat behind on all my posts, so let’s see if I can catch up today on all the fun I’ve been having lately! Had a wonderful morning on Sunday being the “photographer” Heather, not the “mommy” Heather for a few hours! To make it even better, the weather was AMAZING!! (almost cool) I loved my time with the Clary Family! This is our second session together and I can’t believe how much Carter has grown since his newborn session! Sweet Carter just wanted to eat his chubby lil hands and ignore me all together…but I got some great shots of his lil cute self! Lindsey and Drew are amazing parents and you can see the love they have for their lil man! Looking forward to his 6 month session next…enjoy~~

 

Gilmore {6 months and counting}

Denver, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

I am still in shock that lil Gilmore is already 6 months old.  I feel like it was yesterday that I was first meeting her sweet parents in the freezing cold…with yes, my newborn’s bottle warming in my shirt. (classy, I know.) This is such a special family with so much love between them all. I am so grateful to have met them and to see them often to photograph their beautiful family. Gilmore is so soft, quiet and curious. She takes it all in and watches the world around her…as if she is coming up with a game plan to save the world. When she smiles…she lights us all up. Oh, I’m such a softy for true love. Enjoy.

 

The Martin Family

The Martin’s are wonderful friends of mine and their oldest daughter is my oldest son’s angelic girlfriend. They met in their 2 year old preschool class and have been in puppy love ever since. Their family moved to Kansas a year and a half ago and finally came back for a long visit…we were all excited! I am so happy to be able to share of few photos of their beautiful family…I can’t imagine having three little princesses, but they are pros at it! Hope you enjoy…

 

and last but not least…a quick shot of Cade with the love of his little life, Aubrie!! 🙂 pure preciousness

 

 

The Kugler Family

Lake Norman, North Carolina  Family Photography

 

I am so behind on my blog posts this week– I apologize!! It’s been a whirlwind week with tons of sessions and editing…and my three wild boys have been non-stop as well!

Loved meeting the Kugler Family! They made the trek up to the lake area from the other side of the city, lake Wylie. Petyon (2) gave made me work to break through to her silly side, and sweet Griffin (1) instantly smiled from ear to ear! We played, picked grapes off the vines and hunted for “farm cats” as Peyton would say! At the end of our session we let Griffin have his way with an awesome smash cake!! First birthdays are so much fun and make for fabulous, messy pictures!! Hope you enjoy their sneak peek…

 

OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS BEAUTY WE MET TOO…a writing spider!!!

Welcome lil Miss Emory Grace

Charlotte, North Carolina  Newborn & Children Photography

 

How lucky is THIS girl?! I got my hands on two precious little nuggets in past two days! After doing the Rogers’ maternity/family session I couldn’t wait to meet their newest member- Emory Grace.  She is perfect. Mommy, Daddy and Big Brother Bennett are perfect too. I really enjoy coming to the family’s home and just being a part of their beautiful mess…lets me capture real life. Emory has been an amazing baby so far, and I hope she stays that way.  Bennett wants to be a boy, and squeeze her with all his GIANT love. {just like big brothers do!} This is a gorgeous family and I loved every minute of my day with them…

ps- it made my heart smile a little bit more when I saw my maternity photos we just recently did printed beautifully all over their home…another moment that reminded me of exactly how much I adore what I get to do. 🙂
