oops…I’m slightly behind with BLOGGING!!!

Charlotte, NC  {family photography}

 

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 love this sweet family…and their babies are seriously starting to look like triplets! I can’t believe how long I’ve been photographing them! We had a blast running around chasing these 3 little blondies! I love their chaos… and their beauty!! 🙂 Hope you enjoy!!!

The Knag Family

Denver, NC   Family & Children Photography

 

and yep, I am a good month behind on my blogging. typical these days…I apologize. I am going to show a few amazing shots from the Knag Family session, and then my next post is going to combine a huge group of photos, all from my sessions these past few weeks. I know, I know— not fair, and not personal…but I think most people would prefer I play a quick blogging catch up and then focus on editing their gorgeous photos for their flash drives!

So, on to the Knag Family…

gorgeous mom + handsome dad = 3 stunning little girls. This family makes me smile. Looking through their images…I can’t help but smile. They are truly beautiful inside and out…and not just for show. They are real.  And I have more respect for real then I ever will for those that are putting on a show to appear “perfect” to the world outside. I have learned so so much in these past few years of photography. One of the greatest things I have developed is my ability to read people, their love for one another, their relationships, and whether or not they are being real with themselves. I am so blessed to be able to grow through others and through these experiences with these incredible families. Three kids make you go crazy sometimes, and 3 girls might even be harder…but that’s what makes this world so beautiful to the Knags. Their chaos makes me feel a tad bit more “normal”…and I thank God for putting these people in my life.

ok enough sappy stuff for one night…the Knag Family rocks, just wait and you be the judge!!!

The Preslar Twins {hello world}

Charlotte, NC  Newborn Photography

 

Oh my goodness how lucky is this girl? VERY!! I got to photograph to beautiful baby girl twins that had just come home (finally) from the hospital! Claire and Ella Grace were born 10 weeks early and both were in the 3 pound range….teeny tiny! After 6 weeks in the NICU they got to come home to their Mom & Dad to live happily ever after!! The girls are beyond sweet and make some of the cutest noises I have ever heard in my life. The grunts and squeaks gave me a slight flash back to the days of my own Cade bug in the NICU–awe.  It’s amazing how perfectly different these two little angels are- even their tiny but strong personalities. I can’t wait to give their precious parents all their images, and watch these two grow and turn into little toddlers before you know it! I had a blast with this family- enjoy their peek!!

The Kinmon 3

Belmont, NC   Children Photography

 

We are running out the door for a weekend away in Atlanta to cheer on my hubby and all the other awesome firemen & police that are playing football against the Atlanta team tomorrow- so I will make this short and sweet!! (I had to post this peek before we left…couldn’t wait 3 more days!!)

These gorgeous Kinmon babies know how to melt my camera for sure. I am so thankful that I’ve been able to capture the three of them growing up season after season! Mia and Aniston are just beautiful…and with each time I see them they grow more and more into lovely big girls. I cannot believe how much they’ve matured since I saw them last. 🙂 And Rylan is a little ham, but he is surely hitting those twos!! He wanted nothing to do with us for a while, it was much more fun playing with keys and boxes! (obviously!) Love these kids and I hope you get to enjoy them too!!!

ps- I couldn’t resist posting a TON from their session!!!!

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!!!
