I have never posted my special little wording at the end of all my photos before…but today I decided to do something different. Everyone got to see the Norris’ sneak peek before reading all about them! First of all– WOW, how could they not leave you speechless? Emily and Jacob are gorgeous and just as sweet on the inside. We had an absolute blast hanging out watching the sun set over the lake. They are expecting their first little one very soon and I couldn’t be any more grateful to be a part of their experience! Ellis Claire is genetically destined to be one beautiful little girl, and I am 100% sure she will be adored around the clock by her precious parents. I really had an incredible session with these two love birds and cannot wait to meet their perfect addition very soon!!!
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 🙂
SPRING FUN!!!

With all these gorgeous blooms (plus the abundance of pollen covering every inch of our town, and sinuses), I decided I needed to stop off and grab a couple spring shots of our little monsters. Without them, I truly doubt I would’ve found this passion for child photography- or ever would’ve turned my camera off of auto to figure out what else it would do. These boys are my world. {+God and my handsome hubby} oh, and Cooper and Dozer <our four-legged children>. So, with that being said- it was a nice day and I had a last minute cancellation, so I took the boys out to eat and headed to a beautiful field of yellow flowers! Then I let the rugrats be themselves. To top it off I had a friend with her adorable son meet me there too…so it ended up as a fun playdate as well. You can never have too many photos of your own children. EVER. I know I have always been teased about taking too many of my kids- but I ignore the comments completely. Or laugh because within time they will have children of their own and say “wow, I now understand why Heather takes 10 million pictures of her kids each week.” Life is so short. Make it sweet, happy & fun! Hope you enjoy…Cade (4 years), Jax (2 years), Kolt (15 months) and Kellan (13 months), my sweet friend Alex’ son.
Mr. Kellan in action…
and lastly, I captured a sweet group of guys out to enjoy their evening on bikes…
The Brady Family

I absolutely enjoyed my evening with the adorable Brady family!! It was so warm out and their kiddies were in happy moods to play outdoors. Their smallest lil one- Ryan is the tiniest, most “doll-like” 6 month old girl I have ever seen!! She has these awesome big blue eyes and a giant smile. And Mr. Jackson was fun for me…I love little boys that are all boy! He wanted to show me cool stuff and hunt for new rocks- not take pictures, duh!!! Jackson just turned three and I am pretty sure he was instructing me of my job and what was going on in this world better than I could do myself. Fun family—I hope you enjoy a few shots of their evening!!

First and foremost- we are wrapping up Sophia’s 1st year sessions. Bittersweet. I cannot even believe how quickly this year has passed and how much Sophia has changed. I’m so glad we did these photos in some gorgeous blooming trees because it’s a great representation of Sophia. She is stunningly beautiful, sweet as they come and truly a joy to be around at all times. I know her parents feel beyond blessed to have her and her sister & brother. On that note, we decided it would be a great time to capture spring with all their kiddos…and we did exactly that. Our session was more fun than anything. The kids climbed trees, raced, sword fought with branches, and found all kinds of fun. Mia, Anthony and Sophia are all absolutely gorgeous children. So blessed.

Jessica, Ed and big brother Maddox were so excited to welcome their newest family member, Finn into their beautiful family! I loved spending the morning with them, watching Maddox play and love on his mom and dad. Finn is so perfect, and so tiny. He was such a good little guy and will catch up with his brother so quickly as much as he eats! It warms my heart to know the love and fun ahead for these 2 brothers! Hope you enjoy all of their moments I captured, they are simply a beautiful family.
Oakley Elizabeth {hello world}

Where do I start with this beautiful family? hmmm maybe I’ll begin with the obvious…brand new baby Oakley is pretty close to perfection. She is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real life baby doll to be honest. She is just gorgeous and well, her whole family falls right with her in that category as well. The Frank family were wonderful to spend the afternoon with…it was so peaceful pretty much my entire time in their home. (such a rarity with newborns & toddlers) It just went so smoothly and little Oakley was a superstar. Her big brother, Myers is super excited to have a new little sis too- which makes it even more fun in the Frank household!! I adore every one of their photos from the session..hope you love just as much as I do!
Jenny’s adorable Mother was there to help out (thank goodness for incredible Grandmothers by the way!)- and she captured a quick pull back shot of us posing lil Oakley. 🙂
baby Beau {hello world}

I have been capturing the Elliot Family’s special moments for a few years now, and to watch them grow from a family of 3 (new mommy & daddy; Clara was just an infant) to now a complete family of 4, really warms me inside. Clara is now a big sister of a handsome little brother, Robert Curtis Elliot- “Beau”!! Their Mommy is a rockstar birthing babies, and she deserves extra stars for it! And Daddy is so supportive of all of them, keeping the family together with unconditional love. I enjoyed my morning with their family, and the best part is seeing how much one tiny itty bitty goey baby can change their world & turn it upside down so quickly. (it happens every single time…it’s a given.) I love chaos, and the more children you bring into the world the more chaos and more love you have as well. I work better and live more fully in beautiful chaos…
I love these fun moments, and I hope you do too!! {many of these I just had to share because they are just hysterical. having a toddler running around is always a fun time!}
The Wells Family

I just met Crystal, Adam and their precious little 4 month old Braxton for the first time a few days ago but I feel like I already know them so well. (love that about my “job”!) You can feel how much they adore each other and their new little sidekick. Braxton was such a trooper, he made it through a super tired spell and showed his happy personality for the rest of their session. He is head over heels with his parents too…you could watch his world light up every time he caught their eyes. I had such an incredible time with the Wells family and cannot wait to watch their family grow into the future! Oh and by the way…I had such a hard time picking out my favorite shots to post on here, so I may have posted a few more than normal! I love every shot from there session!!! And I am so blessed to be able to capture such beautiful love!

Love watching this little Emma grow…and I cannot believe she is already 9 months old! Since it was quite cold the day of her session I assumed she may be grumpy, but too my surprise this lil girl was over the moon happy. She smiled and laughed the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better baby! Enjoy!
Love this face…
Love the “behind the scenes” shot…keeping the sweet girl warm!!!
