The Buford Family

Charlotte, NC    Family Photography

Probably the coldest morning of the year, I met the Buford Family for the first time…and it was 150% worth every second!!! Rockin the broken arm and awaiting my surgery I managed to layer up and get my camera some happy time. The Buford’s were beyond amazing. I still can’t believe how positive they all were although I knew not 1 of us could feel our fingers or toes!! Their lil muffin Landon just turned 2 and lit up the sky with his big, sweet smile!! Two year old boys give me an excuse to run around and dance like a fool…so I stayed a little warmer then everyone else! 🙂 Hope you enjoy…

The Williams Family

Davidson, NC     Family & Child Photography

 

I was honored once again of photographing one of my dearest friends, the Williams. I can’t explain to others how wonderful & grateful I feel when my friends trust me with such an important job of capturing their forever memories. I get all warm & fuzzy inside thinking about it. Christy & Trey are the closest thing I know to a fairytale. Their love seems magical…thats the only word I can come up with honestly. The have a special love, and as a photographer I picked up on it the very moment they stepped in front of my lens. Now with a third baby, life is much more chaotic and there is a lot less time to really focus on each other but they still stand strong. I love watching their family grow. I hope you enjoy their happy chaos as much as I do!!!

The Wise Family

 Davidson, NC    Family & Child  Photography

I absolutely adore this beautiful family. I loved every second of their last shoot by the lake, and this time it was just as much fun at this gorgeous farm in Davidson! Taylor and Daniel have 2 of the cutest kiddos around and we were laughing so hard my tummy actually hurt by the end of the session! Avery feeding the donkeys was a fav moment of my photography lifespan.  She is one hell of an animal lover. Complete Bliss. Hope you enjoy this family’s really really late peek!! PS- If only I had a little girl, I would dress her in Avery’s perfect lil wardrobe!!! 🙂

The Ridge Family

Davidson, NC   Family Photography, Child Photography

 

Have I mentioned before that Fall is by far my favorite season to photograph families in? Or have I ever mentioned how lucky I am to have such GORGEOUS clients? This time of year family means so much to so many- and I am so grateful to have a little part in all these incredible family’s lives.

 

The Ridge Family takes the phrase “awesome photograph” to the next level. Their session was a blast. I love Davidson for many reasons, but this time of the year I love it that much more!  Darcy & Brandon cannot take a bad photo, and their sweet boys have followed in their footsteps as well! I almost want to order giant prints of their family for my own walls! (Sad but true!!) 🙂 Hope you enjoy their peek!!

hi MAX

Harrisburg, NC    Newborn Photography, Family Photography

 

The Thompson’s welcomed their newest addition to the world just a week before I got to meet him…perfect lil Max. 🙂  I was so thrilled for their family when I heard they were expecting another little one…and I knew the big sister Stella would be amazing! I spent the morning in their home snuggling Max, chatting with the family & yes, I suppose we took a few photos as well! 😉 I love when I get to visit a client’s home and see all my images covering their walls. It just makes my week!! Hope you enjoy some of their happiness!!

Matilda Jane love

Charlotte, NC  Child Photography, Commercial Photography

 

I’m sure most of you have seen me post on facebook, instagram or on here before about all the gorgeous little girl’s clothing I would put my daughter in if I had one.  I am fortunate enough to have a pretend daughter (my best friend’s little girl, Braelyn) to dream with from time to time! Matilda Jane is one of my ultimate favorite girls clothing lines out there. I have always adored their pieces and all the extra joy they bring to my photos when my clients where them. They are having a second release of their Paint by Numbers Collection and I was sent a few samples to showcase to the world on the beautiful Braelyn.  This collection is GORGEOUS!!!  I personally would wear these clothes every day if they came in my size! 🙂

The Paint by Numbers Collection is full of fun colors and character. Every piece is made special with such perfect detail. From the bursts of floral, aqua, yellow jeweled buttons, to the happy ruffles– every little girl dreams of dressing up in these! It’s so enjoyable creating endless outfits with mixing and matching all their fabulous pieces. Layering or just keeping them alone gives complete different looks, which we also love! Braelyn loved how comfy and soft all her pieces were!  She is wearing the Atmosphere Dress with the Arrow Wood Bennys, and then we added the Plum Kitten Cardigan for those cooler Autumn days.

As a photographer, we dream of our clients dressing up their little girls in Matilda Jane…the girls love feeling like princesses and it shows in their images! As a Mother, we love dressing our children in quality clothing that lasts and keeps our children young and happy for as long as we can!

To find any of these pieces and MUCH MUCH more check out Matilta Jane Clothing!!   http://www.matildajaneclothing.com

Here are some of the shots from our lil mini Matilda Jane shoot, hope you enjoy!

The Geers Family

Charlotte, NC  Family Photography

 

Kelly & Greg are two of the sweetest people out there and I am so lucky to be able to photograph them & their beautiful babies every year! We went uptown for a different/ fun look…unfortunately it felt like it was 20 degrees below zero outside, plus the chilly wind to top it off.  We tried to stay outside as long as our hands and noses could take it, but ended in a cute market and coffee shop. My camera was even slowing down, it was so cold. Dashel is 15 months now, and like everyone knows, he doesn’t want to be held down or told what to do. He was ready to run the show…love his lil personality! And Nyla is just a precious precious little angel child. She is so loving and helpful with her little brother, it makes me happy. I hope you can see all the fun and love in this family through the photos I post. I loved spending my evening with the Geers!

PS- on the elevator ride back up to my car in the parking garage, a chick said  “oh man, someone lost their parking ticket- that sucks, it’ll cost them $16.” I laughed and thought, “yea, I feel bad for that ditzo…who doesn’t notice they lost their ticket!” OH, so guess what…I was that “ditzo” that had lost her ticket. classic Heather move.  (Needless to say, those who know me can probably guess what I did at the pay gate: I threw my car in park and told the lady I was running all the way back to get my ticket. ha!) Lesson of the day– I ALWAYS jinx myself, so stop. 🙂

 

The Knag Family

Mooresville, NC  Family Photography

 

Just want to start off by saying, I seem to be the luckiest photographer in Charlotte…I always get such gorgeous families & children!!! (inside and out!!) The Knag family have 3 precious little girls, 4 year old Kamden, and the two year old twins Kolby, & Kalyon. These girls are stunningly beautiful, but you can see where they got it from! (the apple didn’t fall far from the tree)  We had so much fun running around and dancing the evening away! Kam has photography in her blood too—she got to use my camera twice to show off her skills…I wish I could bring her home with me & teach her to edit too! ha! I love when I instantly connect with families, and this is definitely one of them! Hope you enjoy!! (sorry I am still hiding the Christmas card shots!!)

ps- Jennifer has the best parents (Mimi and Poppy) ever too! I loved meeting them and watching how much their grandbabies ADORE them!!!

 

The Kastler Family

Harrisburg, NC  Family and Lifestyle Photography

 

Love the Kastlers…everything about them.  Susan and Chris are 2 pretty awesome people with three precious cuties! I hate that I don’t get to post any of their INCREDIBLE group shots, but you can enjoy a peek at some of their fun lives! (I have been holding off on all the great “Christmas card” shots for the past couple months…it’s killing me!!)
