Your session will be fun, relaxed and enjoyable; I PROMISE! This results in photos that are natural and authentic. Your session is designed to give you a break from your busy lives to enjoy a moment with those you love. Dance, skip, laugh, snuggle and most important...BE YOU! My goal is to take photographs of your moments and your reality. Capturing these moments as they happen and providing a vantage point into your life is what I love most about my work. Unscripted and authentic imagery reflects the connection between you and those you love, however unplanned, crazy or messy. Here is the thing, as a mom and a professional, I feel a sense of panic knowing my boys are growing up so fast and I want to remember these days as they are. It is important to look back on playing dress up, splashing in the tub, having quiet time snuggling with our pets, exploring the world or reading a favorite book. Once these moments are gone...they are gone. It is this belief that inspires me to be thoughtful when capturing a moment and to not just push the shutter for sake of taking another picture. My style goes beyond a traditional family portrait and instead is focused on the good stuff, the real life stuff, the everyday stuff. I understand what you are going through as parents because I’m living it also. Let’s freeze time and give you some amazing art to display in your home so you don’t ever have to forget these crazy free spirited times in your life. Together we will save memories for a lifetime.
Location
My preference is to shoot at outdoor locations and in the early evening when natural lighting is its best. After years of experience, these are the conditions that I’ve found provide you the best results. I’m open to pretty much any backdrop. Historic buildings, beautiful parks, fields, farms, your home….you name it and we’ll find a way. We will work together to find the spot that works for you and the look you are going for. Some clients prefer a lifestyle type shoot in the comfort of their own home; we can definitely do that if there is quality natural light! Let’s talk and find the best fit for you and your style!
What to Wear
Helping you coordinate great outfits is a fun way for me to connect with you and share my years of expertise! Let’s work together to create the feel you are going for. Whether casual, vintage, dressy or other...I have tools and resources I can share with you that help with inspiration, color schemes and moods. Just ask me! I encourage all my clients to text, email or send links to Pinterest boards of the things you like to help me visualize your style. Together we will bring your ideas to life.
After Your Session
Sit back and relax and let me do the work! I try to provide a few “sneak peeks” via social media within the first 48 hours. After that my editing process takes around 3 weeks. I will set you up with a private proofing gallery link and password for you to view your edited files. The proofing gallery will remain live for 30 days . Digital files, prints, canvases and other photography products can be ordered directly through your proofing gallery. Custom orders are also available through Heather.
