Taylor {2013 Senior}

Loved photographing sweet Taylor- plus she is so beautiful inside and out, so it made my job extra fabulous! 🙂 Her senior pics are fantastic, if only I would’ve had my senior pics done somewhere other than the school drama classroom, geez. Hope you enjoy!!

ps- did I mention Taylor’s eye are like crystals? they are by far the most piercing blue eyes I’ve ever photographed. unreal.

The Accetta Family

Lake Norman, NC  Family Photography

 

The Accettas braved the cold weather yesterday morning with me, and all 3 of their beautiful children! I’m so glad I was able to photograph their family finally…last year’s schedules and weather issues caused us to miss our chance. 😦 I loved that the kids were able to open up and show off their BIG personalities- even being completely frozen! I wish I could post my favs for you to enjoy but they’re being hidden away for their special 2012 Christmas card! Enjoy!!

 

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 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 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…

 

The Knox Family

Davidson, NC  Lifestyle & Family Photography

 

Well my title for this session is off a little bit…but this is how I remember these pretty ladies- as the Knox girls!! I grew up with Ashley and Lauren– and now they’re married and Ashley has a little pumpkin man, baby Kellen (6 months). Their gorgeous mom hasn’t aged a day since we first met, and as you’ll be able to see- her daughter’s got that same beauty as well!! We had a blast running around the fields and cracking jokes. Good luck figuring out which one is Susan, their pretty Mom…she blends in like a 28 year old!!! Enjoy!!!

 

The Hetzel Family {Autumn}

Cornelius, NC  Lifestyle Photography

 

Loved my second session with the sweet Hetzel family…and the kiddies have already changed so much since the last time we met!! It was a fun & chilly lake norman morning!!! Enjoy!!

Obviously, I’ve been so rushed posting these sessions from the past week that I am forgetting things!! I have been trying to keep my posts brief until after the holidays due to the crazy amounts of time I’m working currently editing- but didn’t mean to skip over a family completely. (classic mom brain)

The Boerner Family have two little cutie pies that are on the go and super fun and active…we had a great time running around the gardens and playing! We had many laughs about parking issues and then an accidental stick to the face…but they were all troopers! Hope you enjoy!!!

The Cantillon Family

Huntersville, NC  Lifestyle Photography

 

The Cantillon Family are so sweet and I had a blast running around chasing lil miss Elle. Hate rushing through the blog, but I need more time to edit and less time to blog so I can get everyone their beautiful images as soon as possible!!! Hope you enjoy…such a fun story of family & love.
