School Fundraising Opportunities!

Is working on school fundraisers for the Spring and Fall of 2010. If you think you or your child's school would benefit from this opportunity contact us now for details. Just think, when was the last time you had a family portrait taken? Act now and get updated family photos and help raise money for your school.

And the Winner is....Lauren Salinas!

Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all have had a wonderful start to the beginning of 2010. This was our first year in the new house so we hosted a little NYE party with family and spent most of the night playing Wii/Guitar Hero. New Year's Day held the excitement of a photo shoot with The Salinas/Ward Family. Lauren was the esteemed winner of our free mini session and now receives the title of "Client Who Has Traveled the Farthest" coming all the way from Texas. Lauren also happens to be the sister-in-law of my dear friend Bethany who recently moved to West Virgina so I was excited to be able to see her for a short time. Anyway, I'll be honest in saying I was a little nervous at first because we were trying to for a more traditional feel to the family portraits, something I'm not as comfortable with or confident about, but am always willing and open to try. I guess the more practice the better you get. We started off with some photos outside the Ward's beautiful new home and later ventured inside for more portraits, and lastly more relaxed shots of the family baking and cooking together(more my style). All I can say is the Wards/Salinas are tons of fun and have a blast together. Thanks for letting me capture your special time together!

  

  

 

 

 

 

Babyfrog Designs

Dear Friends,
Since I am currently snowed in from church I decided to be ambitious and update again. So soon, I know it's not normal. Anyway, I recently came across the cutest baby boutique of knitted items. Every item is custom made and unique. Check out Babyfrog Designs for the adorable gifts for any baby or infant.

A Potpourri

Well, Ihaven't updated in awhile so I figure it would be worth it. I have to admit, I have more time then usual right now because I made the mistake of getting up for work 3 hours early. So I was wide awake at 6:00 today and don't have to be there until 10:00. So I will update you in the meantime. Things have been crazy busy with the holidays. Lots of parties, get togethers, work. I also recently raffled off a free mini session. The winning family will be having portraits done in just a few short weeks. For those of you who do not follow on facebook, we are also now offering 20% discounts to faculty/staff, students, and graduates of PBU. So if you know anyone who might be interested, or recently engaged and is in need of a photographer send them my way. I am currently in the process of developing a few different school fundraisers as well with the hopes of benefiting area schools, families, and of course Heather Marie Photography. Enjoy the holidays!

 

 

A Wonderful Weekend

Okay, so I thought I'd get a post up on Monday, but it is now Tuesday. I had every intention for this site to be a place where my wonderfuly clients could get to know me a little better, and also keep my friends and family up to date on everyday life. I wanted to take the time to share a little about this past weekend.

Friday evening, Joel, my Dad, and I headed out to the Carlisle area to visit some dear friends of ours, the Rudders. My mom was already there as she travelled from a teacher's conference with Greg. Greg & Lisa and their four kids (Brett, Emilie, Caroline, and Elise) have played a significant role in my life, challenging me to grow spiritually and in many other areas of my life. Im so thankful for the friendship and mentorship God has blessed me and Joel with through them.

Aside from encouragement, we always have lots of fun together, whether it be going out to eat, sitting around talking, or just playing games. Sadly, we don't get to see them often enough, but it is the type of friendship that you could be apart for years and things would still be the same when you got together; like nothin ever changed, like family. Since Lisa and Greg kept up fed and rested, well not so rested; we stayed up late talking and joking, I got the chance to take some portraits of the kids or not so kids anymore. I do have to admit that I might just have to go back to Carlisle to get a good one of all four since one or the other has their eyes closed in nearly every picture, but I won't complain.

Rudders, I hope you enjoy!

Update and Becky's Portrait Session

I cannot believe it has been about a month since I last posted. Sorry to all my few loyal fans that subscribe or check back to my blog. The past month has been a whirlwind from photo shoots to dinners to work. I've done about 5 shoots since last post and have hopes of updating you with snippets of each by next week. I wanted to post a few pictures from a shoot I did yesterday with Beck English. Becky is a friend of mine from church, however we have only just recently gotten to know each other through dinner groups. She works as an editor for CLC Ministries International and when I found out she was having a book published and needed pictures, asked if could take them for her. Becky needed some formal, professional shots for work, but then we had some fun. It was my first time at The Highlands, but I will definitely be going back again. Fortunately the rain held off for a little while and then we used the umbrella. My sister, Joy, also came along to help us out some.  Becky is an avid photographer herself so check out her blog for some of her beautiful shots. Becky, I hope you will be able to use some of these for work...If not I guess we'll try again.
