The Ramsey Family

Charlotte, NC  Family & maternity photography

 

I am super excited to post these pics of a great friend of mine and her beautiful family. Natalie is due with her second lil man very soon, and I am so grateful to photograph her & her happy, glowing self. I cannot believe Parker is 6 now…but its so obvious that he isn’t such a lil toddler anymore.  Natalie and I became best friends in college and I’ve been around through all her fun. Josh and Natalie are so perfect together…he’s the only man on the planet that can handle & adore her and her wild self—and Natalie absolutely gushes over Josh, the same way she did when they were dating! 🙂 I’m so happy for their family to soon become 4!!! I am so glad I got to spend the afternoon and evening with them and wish we lived just down the street again like we use to! Hope you enjoy!!

 


and a quick pic of Nat and myself…Josh has awesome photo skills 🙂 or maybe we’re just fabulous models!

ANOTHER fabulous family…I am in awe of how fortunate I am to be able to photograph such amazing people. (seriously. so lucky.) I have made so many incredible friendships too! The VanDeventers fall into all of these categories! So excited for their family…they finally have moved into their new home and get to have their first Christmas as a complete family together in it! YAY! Hope you enjoy their photos.

The Thompson Family

Davidson, NC  Family Photography + group photography

 

We had a fun early morning session with the Thompson family and their close family members this past weekend. Mindy & Travis have 3 wild boys (just like us)…and it’s so close to home when I’m photographing them. They are all boy and so so handsome!! Mindy brought along her parents and her sister and brother- and their families too. Her parents are rockstars and are incredible with their 6 grandchildren! Lots of fun…enjoy!!

 

The Burroughs Family

Denver, NC  Family Photography

This amazingly sweet family had to deal with my GIANT blonde moment a few mornings ago…I left my memory cards at home. So, after a detour and a change of location- we had an awesome session!! Leah and Justin have two gorgeous lil girls…that are full of excitement and big personalities! Although we were cold – we captured an awesome morning of fun and laughter. Enjoy their peek…

Every little girl needs her lipgloss…

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. 🙂

These pics from last night’s session send me to the moon with happiness. Ashanti and her precious daughter, Trinity were such a joy to capture and we had an awesome time running around NODA playing! I loved every minute of it!! Hope you enjoy!!!

 

The Roer Family

Cornelius, NC  Family Photography

 

Another fun session this weekend…sweet sweet family of five!! The Roer Family has 3 boys and they are all boy–which I am a HUGE fan of!! They all love one another so much. Makes my heart smile!  They just found out that they have a contract on their home and are starting a new in Raleigh very soon. But I hope to see them again someday soon!! I have so many great shots of this family, that I had a hard time narrowing it down! Hiding all the best for Christmas cards…but here are some favs of mine!!

 

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 Torpy Family

Davidson, NC  Family & Lifestyle Photography

 

I really started this family session off perfectly; a hot chai latte & a fresh snickerdoodle cookie from the local coffee house in Davidson—the perfect sunlight and just a happy feeling inside.  Quickly, my perfect little afternoon turned to not so perfect the moment I put my memory card in my camera and it read ERROR!!! To make a long story short, after google-ing & calling a camera pro- I figured out that my 5 month old (WAY too expensive) memory card was done, and I was going to save the day by buying the best “crap” memory card they had at the drug store–what a mess. These things ONLY happen on the days I forget to bring my back-up memory card, of course.
The Torpy’s were so so understanding and basically awesome in every way to work with me through the drama.  Their sweet kiddies have done a complete 180 since last year’s session…and we had a fun time playing around Davidson!! Hope you enjoy their peek…
