Family is what it's all about....

I had a family shoot today with the P Family. :) I have to say if only all shoots went so smoothly. It was good to see you today and hopefully we can do it more often! Thanks for thinking of me to take your pictures and I hope you like them!! You have a gorgeous family!!

Now a small sneak peek....

And here is a little snapshot of Miss C & Mr. C.....aren't they too cute!

Thanks again. I will have the rest of your photos posted soon. I will email you with the details. :)

My brothers kids....

I never seem to get to take pictures of Morgan, Raegan, & Mason because when our kids get together it's pure chaos. :) I have three & Greg has three and the oldest is 5!!! So we stay busy....who has time for snapping pictures. I finally got the chance the other day when they were at my moms.

1st Greg's oldest Morgan...

His second Sweet Raegan the animal lover... ;o)

And my ham of a nephew Mason....

Who ever said it was easy.....

So yesterday was Easter Sunday..I hope everyone had a wonderful day! My parents and my brother and his kids were coming over for dinner and an egg hunt that afternoon. So before everyone got to the house my husband and I decided to take the kids down to the river to this gorgeous piece of property so I could take their Easter pictures while they were all dressed up in their Sunday best! :) How fun to say the least! It was so hard to capture them all three because they were beyond excited since they had just gotten their baskets and were awaiting the ever famous Egg hunt! I got some really fun shots yesterday! Gabrielle and Jaxon did well but we have Miss Charlize who is always the cut up and can't sit still. She was being a character for sure and you'll see what I mean when you check out the pictures. I couldn't choose just one to share especially if I wanted to show you exactly how our shoot went.


Here is how the shoot started....

So she wanted no part of the basket...so much for trying to do her first by herself so she wouldn't get bored with pictures. lol...

Now onto some more from the shoot....

And then I wanted to get some pictures with the river in the background and a group shot with all three..this is how that went...look closely Charlize is in there..hehe!

And we lost one...hehe...

I have a ton of pictures from this shoot that were fun and adorable and I don't want to bore you with ALL of them so here a few more I have edited that I thought were silly, fun, and just plain adorable.







I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Thanks for looking at ALL my pictures. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taking them!!

Wide awake

I had a newborn shoot this weekend with a lovely little girl and the sweetest little boy! Alexa was just precious and oh so curious! She wanted to look around and see what was going on. The shoot started out at the park but it was a little to chilly for the kiddos so we moved it indoors. Thanks for letting me take the pictures. I hope you enjoy them. I will be sending you a link shortly to view the rest of your pictures! :)

Now onto your sneak peek....

He is so well behaved and sweet! You should be proud mama! :)

Thanks again! I'll be in touch!

My girls....

I was messing around the other day with the ss on my camera and got some really great shots of Gabrielle and one of Charlize who didn't want any part of picture day..hehe. Jaxon wasn't even about to sit still for a picture so I practiced with my little model Gabrielle.

See the tear...she was mad because I wouldn't pick her up while I was taking pictures. :)

Gabrielle loves the camera. :) Isn't she gorgeous!

Beautiful day for a photo shoot!

Today was gorgeous. I had a photo shoot this afternoon and I was so worried it was going to rain. Thank goodness it didn't. It was 60 degrees and a perfect! I met up with Lyndsee, Sam, and Trey for a family photo session. I had such a good time. Trey was full of energy and so fun! He's a little comedian! He had had enough of me today because he kept telling me he was done having his picture today...lol!! Lyndsee and Sam were great too. I had such a good time today. Happy to meet you and hope to see you again soon!!!

Walk MS 2009

Hey everyone! A friend of mine who has had MS has joined the walk for a cure this year. She is trying to raise money for a cure and I have sent in my donation for this great cause. I ask that you do the same to help her exceed her goal of $1000!! I hope this brings them one step closer to a cure!!

The following is a personal note from Heidi herself. Please read on to learn a bit more about MS and donating to help find a cure.


Walk MS - Walk to create a world free of MS

Dear Family and Friends,

I've joined the movement to help find a cure for MS.

On Sunday, May 3, 2009 I will be participating in Walk MS, Northwest Suburbs location. This is a fund raising event which benefits the Greater Illinois Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Approximately 400,000 people nationwide, including 20,000 here in Illinois, live with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and stops people from moving. With the help of people like you, the National MS Society, Greater Illinois Chapter addresses the challenges of each person whose life is affected by MS and helps them stay connected to the great big moving world. I am writing to ask you to join the movement by participating in Walk MS or kindly include a donation to my team. Every dollar raised helps to fund research, programs, and services for those living withMS. This is made possible by people like you--friends, family and associates who support my fundraising goals and the goals of the more than 16,000 people who will be walking with me. Please join me to end MS. Help the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's ultimate mission of finding a cure possible, and, in the meantime, provide the crucial services to those living with multiple sclerosis.

It's faster and easier than ever to support this great cause--you can make your donation on line by clicking "Support" and follow the prompts. If you prefer, you can also mail your tax-deductible contribution to me or directly to the Greater Illinois Chapter. Please make checks payable to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and include my name on the check's memo section. I ask all donations be made prior to the Walk MS event date of May 3, 2009.
