Yesterday was the day - beautiful baby "E's" official portrait session! We set a few records, had some funny moments and enjoyed our day together! Thanks for being such good sports and friends "M and C!"
Enjoy the sneak peek!
I'm off to do laundry :-)


Arriving just a few days behind schedule, ADORABLE baby "E" is here! I was so excited to visit her in the hospital (and take a few photos)!
At just 10 hours old I held her in my arms and the tears started rolling! I'm just so filled with joy for my dear friend and her family!
Congrats "H" family - she's beautiful ........ and I can't wait for "E's" first OFFICIAL photo shoot this week!
I'm up for a two a.m. feeding and had to look at your blog! We are so blessed to have you as a friend!!!! These photos are so beautiful I truly have no other words but THANK YOU for capturing these memories.
(06.22.09 @ 02:36 AM)Heather, these are gorgeous!! What a beautiful baby!! This is making me want another! I just love your work.
(06.23.09 @ 05:30 PM)These are so precious! What a perfect little baby and these capture that brand-newness perfectly!
(06.23.09 @ 06:41 PM)Absolutely precious. I would love to have something like this from my babies.
(06.23.09 @ 07:20 PM)Sooooo Cute! I love these! Mama is going to so appreciate having these.
(06.23.09 @ 08:20 PM)These are breathtaking. I love how new she is. Amazing clarity and color too! Love every one!!!
(06.23.09 @ 09:10 PM)These are lovely. A beautiful baby and such priceless images.
(06.24.09 @ 06:09 AM)Oh wow- just lovely and so amazing! You did a wonderful job for your friend and I'm sure she will treasure your gift always!

This beautiful belly belongs to one of the dearest friends I've ever known! She's the one I can call at ANY time of day or night (although the reception is much warmer if precious sleep is left undisturbed) with ANY silly question, story, worry or just to vent. She'll always tell it to me straight - even when it's not what I want to hear. On the flip-side, she's the QUEEN of justification and will most definitely (and sometimes most creatively) validate my every whim! Our conversations might make most people's heads spin, they go in so many directions, but we never miss a beat. A day just doesn't feel complete unless we've talked at least once (and usually more). Simply put, we just "get" each other! We have shared every BIG moment of our adult lives together and I know that's how it will always be.....

This is something I've been dying to try for awhile now....and I just LOVE how it turned out!

I'm so happy for you Emme! Enjoy every last minute of this time.......
Love you, hb.
The same goes back to you girlfriend! - But you also have the amazing ability to make me look beautiful in a photo - which is no easy task! Stop trying to make me cry - you know how I get when pregnant!
(06.13.09 @ 09:03 AM)What a beautiful mama-to-be! I LOVE the watermelon shot, the colors work so well. And the first looks so peaceful and pure. I bet that will be one gorgeous little newborn. :)
(06.17.09 @ 05:42 PM)WOW, this soon-to-be momma is STUNNING! What amazing images, Heather!
(06.30.09 @ 06:56 AM)
Seriously, have you ever seen such amazing hair on a newborn? It was THE softest thing I've ever felt too!
This is sweet baby "C" at 12 days old. She was Sooooo....good for me! I had a wonderful time photographing her in her beautiful home! I love so many of the photos from her session that it was very hard for me to choose just a couple to share for the sneak peek. I don't want to ruin the excitement of seeing all of the images for mom and dad though....so I may have to come back and share a few more later :-)
Congratulations "S" and "J" - She's beautiful! Enjoy the sneak peek .......

Such a precious little sweet pea! Love her hair and little lips! Beautiful portraits!
(06.05.09 @ 08:40 AM)What a stunning baby! LOVE that hair!! The crib shot is just perfection. Nice work, Heather!
(06.05.09 @ 08:54 AM)LOVE these. The crib is fabulous and the shot in Dad's hands is just perfect. Beautiful session. Can't wait to see more!

(06.08.09 @ 05:22 PM)
I titled this blog post "inspiration" because that is exactly what this adorable little girl is to me! Every once in awhile I spot a child that just captures my heart instantly. Beautiful "L" did just that - she captured my heart and I knew I had to photograph her! I was so excited when we were finally able to get together for a little fun in the park! Thank you "L" for being such a great little model! Enjoy the sneak peek mom and dad!

Wow, these are just gorgeous! What a beautiful little girl, and your colors and clarity are wonderful!

(06.02.09 @ 07:26 AM)Your work is amazing and these images are just gorgeous! She looks like she had a wonderful time!
(06.03.09 @ 09:54 AM)
Ahhhh.... words cannot describe what an honor and a pleasure it was to photograph these two beautiful babes! They belong to a fellow-photographer and dear friend of mine. Here are just a couple that make me feel all warm and fuzzie inside :-)

What beautiful pictures! I love the vivid colors next to the soft natural tones of the newborn - gorgeous!
(05.27.09 @ 10:43 AM)LOVE both of these. I'd love to see more. I bet the whole session rocked! These are GREAT!
(05.29.09 @ 05:23 PM)
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mommies out there!
The work you do is the most important job there is!
Enjoy your day ladies!

Sharing a few cherished mommy-pics of my own!
Love captured by the extremely talented women of whitebox photography (thanks ladies)!

Newborn sessions are a total baby fix for me! I get to hold them and smell them and soothe them....and then I get to go home and enjoy a FULL night of sleep! It's perfect :-)
I do have to admit that I miss those newborn days though. There is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch on a rainy afternoon and taking a little snooze with a newborn on your chest. Ahhhh....I would give just about anything to go back in time and relive one of those days!
I really enjoyed my time with this not-so-little guy yesterday! He is 10 1/2 pounds of pure sweetness!
Enjoy the sneak peek "D" family.....congratulations, he's beautiful!
Perfect, creamy goodness. Those sweet lips, tootsies good enough to eat....you did an amazing job!
And congrats to the new mom!
AWWW These are so precious. I love the close ups & the one of the baby on the moms shoulder.. they are all perfection though. Beautiful work!
(05.05.09 @ 06:01 AM)I just love the "parts" pictures! His little mouth is so precious! Those are the things you want to remember....how very TINY babies are!
(05.05.09 @ 06:09 AM)Holy cow these are amazing! What a sweet little baby, and the light is so perfect. Inspiring!
(05.05.09 @ 06:20 AM)I can see why you got your newborn fix. These are great! The baby looks so peacefull. I love newborns!!!
(05.05.09 @ 10:25 AM)Perfection! Great job!
(05.05.09 @ 08:00 PM)Omg, look at the milk blisters on his lips. So very sweet. Everything about him is so dear and perfectly captured.
(05.05.09 @ 09:08 PM)Oh my goodness! What a sweet "little" baby! I love everything about these, the smile, the baby parts, the one with mommy! Too much baby fever for me, these are beyond beautiful.
(05.08.09 @ 07:03 PM)
I am SO excited to share this session! When a long-time friend of mine contacted me about photographing her family I was thrilled. I immediately began looking for the perfect location...and look at what I found (insert squeal of excitement here)!
Sometimes the stars align: the perfect location, beautiful well-behaved children, great outfits carefully chosen by mom, a warm spring day and ...... MAGIC happens!
Just look at this beautiful family! Thank you "H" family for a super fun session! Enjoy your sneak peek!

(04.29.09 @ 03:56 PM)I LOVE these. BEAUTIFUL family photos. I would love to have a family picture like the bottom!
(04.29.09 @ 05:43 PM)Tell your children to STOP GROWING! I can't believe how grown up the girls look.
