...Twins!...

I can hardly believe it has been a year since I last photographed these little ones! Actually, the tiny toe with daddy's wedding ring on my blog header belongs to this little guy when he was just a few weeks old! My, what a difference a year makes! At 13 months old, "S" and "S" are quite busy! So we called this session a "Lifestyle Session"; capturing pure, natural (on the go) images! Thank you for the wonderful morning in your home!

...The "B" Family...

I was so excited when I woke up to snow! I knew it would be perfect for this Christmas session! I photographed this family one year ago, and was shocked to see how much little "E" had changed in that amount of time! She is still as adorable as ever, though, and is a joy to photograph.

Thanks for a great day in the snow! You guys are such a beautiful family! Enjoy!

...Little "C"...

I had so much fun with this cutie! She makes it very easy to get great images of her. I had the privilege of photographing her when she was 6 months old, and it was great to see her again almost a year later. I also had a GREAT time with all of her outfit changes! So cute!

Thanks for making the drive to the valley! I hope you enjoy!

...Christmas Mini-Session...

I am in love with these pictures! The architecture of the wall, and the pop of the colors are, indeed, a photographers dream! I'm pretty sure, however, that all four of us were glad this was a mini-session! It was C-O-L-D and so, so windy!! Great job making it look easy, guys!

...Baby J...

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE photographing newborns?! Meet 6 day old "J". Isn't he just beautiful?

He wasn't too thrilled that this crazy photographer decided to try some creative shots of him! But we eventually got him okay with the idea and I am so happy with how these images turned out! I love being able to use items from my clients homes. It adds such a personal touch to the images.

Thank you , J, J and J (love that all your names start with J!!) for inviting me into your beautiful home to captures images of your little man. I enjoyed every second of it!

I'M BACK!!

And so excited about it!! We received news that our baby girl is healthy and that I can begin a somewhat more active life again! Whooo Hoooo!! So many things to be thankful for! So I am going to be easing back into things by booking a few sessions here and there. I first announced this on Facebook (if you're not already a fan, be sure to become one! I post all of my news and specials there first!), so I've booked three sessions for Christmas season portraits already. If you would like those last minute pictures for your photo cards, be sure to send me an email so I can get you on my calender (December 6th is booked and full already). I am running a special mini session for those holiday cards; a 20-30 minute session with 5-10 images on disc for $50! But I have very limited availability, (it's also AAU Basketball season!) so be sure to email me soon! heatherwayphotography@clearwire.net

And because I can't post without a picture, here are a couple of 4 week old baby Jack! I photographed his sisters this past spring and was thrilled to meet him this past week! Enjoy!

Some Not So Good News

As you can see, it has been quite a while since my last post. These last weeks have been very chaotic for myself and my family. We received the wonderful news in early August that we are expecting our 4th child. We are thrilled! Not only because we will have this newest addition to our family, but, I also have SO many ideas for newborn portraits!! This little one doesn't know what he/she is in for!
Well, last week we were reminded just how big of a miracle the birth of a healthy baby is. We experienced some complications which has led to me being on bed rest at least through the month of October. We will just have to wait until that point to see whether or not I will be allowed to resume my regular activities for the remainder of the pregnancy. So, the not so good news is I have had to cancel all of my sessions I had booked for October, and will not be booking any session for November until we know more. I am CRUSHED! Photography is my passion. Each session consumes me. The idea of not being able to hold my camera and capture precious moments for my clients is devastating.
As bummed as I am, I also know that it is a tiny sacrifice to make in order to ensure this little one is born healthy in the spring. So, you won't be seeing many posts this month from me. It won't be long, though, until we are back on our feet! This is not the end of Heather Way Photography, we're just taking a little "hiatus"!

...The "H" Children...{Childrens Portraits}

I knew from the moment I met 3-year-old little "W", he was going to be a lot of fun to go exploring with! He greeted me with a smile and "Nice to meet you"! Love it! With all the fun streams, butterflies, and even bunnies to watch and chase after, it was hard to stay in one spot for too long. But we did manage to capture this image of the happy little guy...
His sister, 18-month-old "S", was not a fan of me, however! Well, let me re-phrase that...she was a bit intimidated by the bulky camera I was chasing her with!! The best place to be is always in Mommy's arms and I love that I grabbed this moment between mommy and little "S"

These are just two of the many images captured from this session. There will be more to follow!

...Baby "A"...{Infant Portraits}

A few of my favorites from my session with four month old Baby "A". She is such a sweet little thing with the most beautiful eyes. You may remember her session with her three big sisters several months ago

Thank you for inviting me into your home again, "D" family! I look forward to helping you document your little girls' journeys for a very long time!

...{Family Portraits}...

Well, let me just begin by saying this family of 6 is too, too, cute! We went into this session with hopes of just getting everyone to be "happy" at the same time! Well, I think we were successful...for the first 30 minutes anyways ;o) With 4 kids (three of which are under 4!), it can be a challenge! But I think we pulled it off!

This entire family has THE most bright, crystal clear eyes!! Making them a dream to photograph!

Enjoy!

... More of This Beautiful Family {Family Portraits}...

Enjoy!

...Just a Tiny Sample!...{Family Portraits}

I know you are DYING to see your sneak peek! So here are just a couple to tease you!


This session has been booked and in the making for 6 months! We've been patiently awaiting the wheat fields to grace us with their beauty, and that day finally arrived! I am so, so lucky to be able to photograph such beautiful families...it makes my "job" a lot easier ;o)

I love this picture of little "A"...she really has a special presence in front of the camera...

I hope your enjoy your teaser! No worries...I will be posting more from this session soon!

...The "R" Family {Family Portraits}...

Meet the "R" Family...an absolutely BEAUTIFUL family I had the privilege of photographing this past weekend. My camera loved them!


This beauty is seven year old "B". I could not stop taking pictures of her! She was at such ease in front of the camera and, well, look at her! She is STUNNING!


Four year old "W" was great, too! I can't believe how cooperative he was! My four year old sees the camera and runs! Not "W"! He struck a pose any time he was asked! Such a cutie!!

And then there is one year old little Miss "C". Don't you just want to scoop her up?! She is gorgeous! Mom and dad are going to be in trouble in the next few years with this group of beautiful children! They can model for my ANY time!

We took this picture in front of their brand new home they just finished building. The location and home are just breathtaking. Congratulations, you guys!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful evening! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

...A Few More of Mr. "R"...{Childrens Portraits}

...My, How Time Flies!...{Childrens Portraits}

Has it really been six months? It was so great to see this little guy again for his 1 year portraits! So much about him has changed; he, for one, is now VERY mobile and his hair has grown so much! But, he also still has a few things that I found very familiar, like his stunning blue eyes, and his inquisitive stares. We had a great time on our adventure last night, and I just had to get a few pictures up for a quick sneak peek...........more to come!

It's hard work being so cute! After running and exploring in the August heat of the valley, nothing is better than a cold ice-cube! Thanks, "K" family, for such a fun night! Your little man is perfect! Enjoy!

...C + J Part II {Engagements}

I promised you more photos from my engagement session, so here they are! Enjoy!!
