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!

...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!
