My big boys.
June 12, 2010Growing like weeds. We had a rather chilly, summer day today so I bundled up and took a couple shots. I get motivated by cooler weather and it felt good to take pictures, as I have not felt like doing much lately.
Swimming.
June 2, 2010Swim lessons may have come to a close, but I know this certainly won’t be the last time the boys take lessons. They really loved it and Andrew worked through a ton of his fear, I was so proud of him and got to see him in all his glory today for their last lesson. Bittersweet? Only for a momma who is watching her little man grow up.
Big surprise!!
May 23, 2010I’ve been away more than normal because I am….
PREGNANT!
Our due date in January 15th, so I’m still really early, but we did have our first ultrasound and saw the gummy bear and the heartbeat on the screen. We’re over our initial shock now and just trying to keep everything down and stay rested.
I have a new blog coming soon, had it designed and everything, so it should be really coolio. In the meantime, if you could just say a little prayer for us when you think of it, we’d really appreciate it.
Ever have one of these days?
April 23, 2010Where you just want to curl up into a ball and forget the world? Thankfully I don’t have too many of these, but every so often one peeks through.
But on the bright side… it’s snowing outside and everyone knows how much I love my snow!
Jena Photography: I love this!!!
kristie: just lovely
April: I love this one! I think this has to be one of my absolute favorites of yours!
Abstract tulip.
April 22, 2010I’m working on making some photo notecards for my mom, per her request and got the chance to photograph some amazing tulips while in nashville last weekend. Wow. The sun coming through them make them illuminate and I can’t wait until she sees the finished project. Here’s one that totally reminded me of fire.
Margaret: I love that! Your mom is going to love her gift, I'm sure! Good to see you on POTD again!
annabelle gardner: wow it does look like fire with the light shining through....LOVE the abstract of it :)
denita: That's going to be an awesome set of notecards! This is BEAUTIFUL, heather!
Joanne: Beautiful! Love that it's different .
Yolanda: Beautiful!
Samantha: Wow! That is absolutely incredible!
Katie: Gorgeousl!! I just took some pics of our tulips (with our humble little camera)...and one of the pics looks doctored ~ it's so bright red, but I did nothing! Your photography is very beautiful! Just stopping by!
Nicki: Fire was the first thing I thought of. Gorgeous flower and beautifully photographed.
Pat: This is wonderful! I love the fact that you went in for the abstractedness (if that's a word...) and really like the light coming through. It does play up the fiery nature of the shot.
Esther: Beeeeautiful Heather! Absolutely stunning. I love how you've composed it and the focus and DOF and the "abstractness" is perfect.
April: That is absolutely gorgeous. Tulips are one of my favorites flowers. :)
An updated pic of yours truly.
April 17, 2010I didn’t take it obviously, my friend rachel did and she did a great job. I think it sums me up nicely. Slightly goofy, with a twist of serious 
Robyn: I agree with April. . . .BEAUTIFUL!
Momma: That's our beautiful girl and we love her. Momma and Daddy
April: Beautiful!
Merle Ryytel: I LOVE YOU, Heather!!! What a great smile you've got! Makes me smile too :)
Monica: Oooh - Heather, I love it!
My favorite Finns.
April 8, 2010This is my Nana and my Aunt Lillian. Are they not the cutest? I’m so proud of my Finnish heritage, even if I don’t like pickled stuff.
Big changes… stay tuned.
March 30, 2010Thanks to everyone who checks in on me (especially you mom.)
I’ve got big changes to the blog happening over the next few months, including a fancy-schmancy new logo which I’m so excited about.
Anyway, please excuse the dust in advance.
Momma bear.
March 16, 2010It’s always fun to try and incorporate special items into photoshoots. This little baby is being watched over by his mommas bear. The bear was hers when she was a baby. Such a priceless “prop.”
Suzy: That "is" a priceless prop. And it makes for a priceless capture as well. Nice job!
annabelle gardner: its perfect :)
tori: So sweet! Love that it was his momma's bear....
Pat: Oh, this is priceless, Heather! How significant to the mom... And I love the quilt; it plays off all those lovely skin tones. Wonderful photo.

Marcy: So sweet! Your photography is always awesome!
cindi: super sweet...and I love the significance!!

jess: LOVE LOVE LOVE! There is so much emotion pouring through this shot... beautiful! <3
Janae Cooper: Heather I got your cute package today! I am so excited to use it. Now I need to find me a newborn! Thanks again!
Amy: love the title, love the image, love the emotion! You're awesome Heather!
Angela2932: Awwww!!! Such a heart-warming shot! What a great capture!
Nicki: Lovely shot. I can see why you include it as one of your "standard" poses - though nothing standard about it. It is so sincere.
Kristina: Heather, I always enjoy stopping by your blog and seeing what you're up to. Congrats on your pregnancy. Just saw your post below!
