Elijah: One Year

I’ve been photographing Elijah since he was a bump in Michelle’s belly, and now it’s time for his one year session! I’m so happy we were able to capture his first year of life from newborn all the way to 12 months. It’s so fun to watch them grow!

Misti Morgan - I am Annette’s best friend in Tennessee ~ she always has me go on your website to see any of their photos! You do such a great job!
Love Elijahs photos!April 14, 2010 – 2:48 am

Michelle - Thank you so much Heidi!! I am completely spoiled by having Elijah photographed through all the great stages of his first year. My mom was right, now I have to have it with #2!! Your pictures are amazing and I tell everyone they have to call you! :-) I LOVE all the pictures! My little boy is so beautiful isn’t he? heheApril 13, 2010 – 5:04 pm

Annette - I just love the ones on the dock. And I have to say one of my favs is the crying one. Its been a great year. Michelle has already requested that I do this again when she has number 2. Thank you Heidi for capturing so well my Eli’s first year.April 12, 2010 – 1:38 pm

Ellie: 4 weeks

You may remember my friend Emily’s maternity session that I posted a little while back. Well, little Ellie is here now! I use the term “little” loosely. Ellie has been hanging out somewhere near the 90th percentile for her size since she was born! I usually photograph babies within the first two weeks of being born and then again around 4 months, but since Emily lives in Alabama, we just did the session at the time they were visiting. So it’s not quite a newborn session, but here are a few photos of the beautiful Ellie around 1 month old.

Amanda & Bryan: Wedding

Amanda & Bryan are a very special couple. They’ve spent much of their relationship apart since they both are members of the military. In fact, they spent a couple of years on separate continents. They told me that they were Skyping when Skyping wasn’t even cool yet. Despite the distance, they maintained a beautiful relationship, and I was happy to photograph the biggest day of their lives last weekend.

I’m jealous because they were spending the week in Italy for their honeymoon, and it made me want to go back so badly! It’s hard to believe it’s already been six months since I was there. I hope they have an amazing time celebrating their marriage in such a fantastic place.

Brenda - The pictures are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!April 13, 2010 – 1:34 am

Amanda - First of all, Heidi…we loved that you captured our moments! We didn’t want it any other way. We only hope that the shenanigans taht took place didn’t make it difficult for you to get a shot! ;-).

Second…we of course have decided that we would like for you to do our newborn pics as well. Still wouldn’t have that any other way.

And third…Thank you so much!April 12, 2010 – 12:48 pm

Isabella: Newborn

Everybody say it together now. “Awwwwwwww!!!!”  Meet little Isabella. She was only 2 weeks old at this session. I’ve been photographing her big brother since he was about 4 months old, and I was so thrilled to get to photograph her as a tiny newborn. She was actually awake for most of the time I was there, which is unheard of for a newborn session. I didn’t mind though, because we got some great photos with her eyes open, and she was a perfect angel anyways.

Makes me even more excited about meeting my little guy in about 7 weeks! Although I’m pretty sure he won’t be sporting any fabulous pink hats & bows in his hair.

Lynsey - This is one of my favorite sessions ever! The first picture is amazing! All of the shots are really neat- I bet seeing her really does make you excited for Lincoln!April 5, 2010 – 4:00 pm

Linda - What a beautiful little girl!! And, of course, another great photo session by Heidi. You will have so much fun when Lincoln gets here. He will have permanent flash spots before his eyes. :)April 5, 2010 – 1:28 pm

Aimee & Mike: Wedding

Last weekend was Aimee & Mike’s beautiful lakefront wedding. The festivities took place at Aimee’s aunt’s house in their lovely backyard by the water. It was a gorgeous spring day, and everything was just perfect. Aimee & Mike are such a sweet and fun couple. I really enjoyed getting to know them during the engagement session and wedding.

Congrats, Aimee & Mike! Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of your beautiful wedding.

Mike made this fabulous arbor for their ceremony.

***I stand corrected! Aimee’s sister, Kimberly, is the one who crafted this lovely piece of art. Great job, Kimberly.
