Heather Marie PhotographyFirst Day of Spring!
Posted on March 20, 2018
North Carolina has handed up hot sunny days and snow all in the same exact week. WHAT is going on?! I am so pumped to say Happy First Day of Spring. I hope NC gets the memo too.
I wanted to give you all a quick update on our Momtog Photography class from this past weekend. Mind blown. I didn’t know exactly what to expect with this first class but it was magical. I keep thinking back to the first time I picked up my first DSLR, and how I was completely lost. What I would’ve given to have a class like this at my finger tips. All the tricks and simple ways of learning the basics so we can actually capture our kids in decent photos. I think everyone learned a ton and had a blast while doing so. Shooting one on one with each photographer/momtog was key in my opinion. Hands on and VERY eye opening for all of us. I’ll share some photos at the end of some of the girls in action! 🙂
In other news, lots of babies are being born and lots of spring sessions are happening over here. Here are a few fun moments from the past week!! Hope you enjoy!!
The Graves Family added a new member to their tribe late last year, sweet lil Olivia- and I was honored to come to their home and capture some fun, real-life moments!! We had such a great time!
Then I spent time with the precious Lozeau Family in uptown Charlotte- and we danced and played in the rain!! We did get some “dry” moments too, but it was a blast either way! Their little man, Julian was such a sweet boy! I hope you enjoy a few of their memories!!
and lastly…a few pics from our momtog class! 🙂
Rewind to 2017 Fall/Winter
Posted on February 28, 2018
Let the images flow…and I smell spring right around the corner!! Lots of fun things going on this year and I can’t wait to share them all with you. ❤ ps- there are SOOO many more families and kiddos that I didn’t add here, but goodness this was another incredible year!!
oops…I’m slightly behind with BLOGGING!!!

There is a good chance many friends, clients and new beautiful faces have come here to my blog in the last two months and noticed how lame I am with keeping my blog updated. #bloggerfail Yes, not a very proud moment. BUT…I am NOT behind on my editing or my sessions or my kids or my family or my friends (ok I may be a tad behind on that one too!)— it’s FALL YA’LL!!! Fall is here and that means crisp air, beautiful colors, pumpkin EVERYTHING and most of all my busiest time of year! With that being said- my blogging and updating comes last in the line up. I hope you all don’t mind! I do try to keep my facebook page (www.facebook.com/heathermariephotographync ) updated daily with sneak peeks and any other fun info I have up my sleeve!
I just counted…I am 41 sessions behind on the blog. Can you even imagine? WHOA. Sorry guys. I will make it up to you on my maternity leave surely. What else will I want to do while I’m snuggling my newest little ninja?!
Speaking of that…my personal update {obviously skip this part if you have no interest with this} is great! This baby is a beast. Measuring ahead and staying up high so I remember he is ALWAYS there. We both are loving this cooler weather though! His big brothers are getting excited about his arrival into this world. “Mom when is our brother going to pop out?” “Mom I think the baby is going to beat Cade in soccer once he gets out of there.” -daily questions and comments flow around our home.
Back to the Photography: I’ve already had our first 2 mini session dates and they were completely successful in all ways! The weather worked out for us and all the families looked amazing! Plus it was great exercise for me! I loved playing with all the precious little ones! I feel incredibly blessed to be able to do what I love and also call it my job– you guys make that possible for me. Thank you. A million times.
I have been booked solid for the year for months now and I am so very grateful. I do hate letting people down now this close to Christmas card season that I don’t have any openings but I am doing a wait list and filling any cancellations off of that the moment I get one. So far- it’s working!! I am currently booking 2015 clients and filling spots very quickly if anyone is looking for next year sessions. Lots of the Spring slots are full, and we have TONS of 2015 babies on the horizon! YAY!!!
I want to share a few photos from the past month + with you guys, and hopefully all the sneak peeks very soon!! I hope you enjoy all the beauty that I get to see every day…

I had promised a rooftop iphone image in the blog update earlier…and completely forgot to add it. So here are a few images from our fabulous beach week in Isle of Palms with incredible friends! {My husband’s college roommates and their beautiful families!}
*warning…this is a mix of iphone and dslr images. <so be easy on the judgements> 😉 and these are only a few of the 2000 images from the week!!!
Time for an update…

After the last few sessions I’ve had, and many new people mentioning to me that my personal photos of myself and my personal about me section doesn’t accurately portray the “real” me- I’ve decided to work on a small face lift to my about me section of my blog! I’m not as serious and formal as I must make it seem.
Those of you that get a chance to read this and have a moment please send a quick message with what you think describes me, the real Heather!
The cupcake obsessed, talkative, silly, happy, animal and child loving, sensitive yet strong and passionate Heather will be thinking of a much better peek into my world for the blog! I hope to give all who visit here a little bit more of Heather understanding.

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 🙂
3 BROTHERS + SNOW DAY

We rarely, if ever, get snow here in Charlotte but a few weeks ago we defied the odds and the snow fairy brought our three boys a pretty heavy snow storm! I had to post a few fun pics for everyone to enjoy! ps- I’m almost certain my husband had just as much fun as our 3 wild boys!
I walked outside and found these to fishy characters…needless to say, I was covered in snowballs very quickly.
Braelyn Grace

Cornelius, NC {Children Photography}
I will never forget the day {actually the exact moment} when my best friend & college roommate called me to tell me she was pregnant…I never would have imagined that 6 years later I would be photographing this beautiful blessing completely awestruck. Braelyn entered this world with me in the room next door and I am quite sure I had about the same amount of sleep as her mother, but my world was changed forever. I knew I would love this lil angel as if she were my own, and I did. I do. Braelyn Grace is a photographer’s dream. She is not only the most stunningly beautiful child I have ever seen, she is just as sweet, kind, & brilliant. She is a precious jewel. I would photograph her every day if I had her close by. In other words, she will leave you speechless and wondering why she isn’t famous yet.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WOW, 2012 was spectacular!
I can’t even say enough about how amazing it really was. I have had a year full of fabulous clients and friends that I cannot thank enough. The support I receive from you all is extraordinary and I would only be filling my own home with images if it weren’t for you. I am so grateful to be a part of all of your lives. Thank you for choosing me and my craziness to capture your special moments! Cheers to 2013 and a year of many more adventures, special moments, laughter & more than anything friendships!
To a Blessed to 2013…bring on the babies, the love and all the cherished moments!
*Ordering all my new USB flash drives this week for the year…so exciting to pick out of million colors for my new design!! 🙂
More news– I am finalizing all my 2013 price list now, and will have it available for anyone interested within the week!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!!!
