Hibernating

I know, I know, I know....It has been way too long once again. It is just so much easier to upload and update the facebook page. The winter has been a slow and cold time. When was the last time kids had what, 6days off of school. I almost wished I was in school again just so I could have off.

Hopefully Spring is on its way and my free time will very quickly dwindle, filled with weddings, engagements, seniors, etc. I'm hoping to update more in depth on what specials we have coming soon, but here are some recent shots to tide you over.

 

  

  

  

  

 

This Goes Out to My Loyal Fans

So in an effort to spread the word about my photography and reward my ever faithful fans, I am offering some promotions on the Facebook fan page. (Heather Marie Photography @ Facebook)

We've almost reached the 600 mark! 600 fans that is. Help us get to 600 fans and I'll be offering $25 dollars off any standard photo session (maternity, engagement, family portraits, etc.) to all of YOU, our loyal fans. $25 Dollar credit can also be applied towards high school senior sessions! Keep on spreading the word about Heather Marie Photography!

 At the same time I would like to apologize for the lack of posting, however, the past few sessions have been surprises. I wouldn't want to leak anything ya know?

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!
