I love that my daughters kissed my cheeks for this image.  I love that they actually listened to what the photographer asked them to do. Trust me, this is a rarity for these two little munchkins to listen to one of us on the first request.  I was so proud.  They probably didn't listen for the rest of the day, but at least they did for that one millisecond so I could have a photo that will last me a lifetime.

Thank you to my talented husband, Daniel, for taking this photo. He is an amazing artist, the best husband and a wonderful father to our girls.

xoxo~heidi

We arrived in Denver a few days ago and are starting to get settled into our new life here.  We already LOVE it and can't wait to start exploring everything.  To be honest, the reality of actually packing and unpacking is not very fun...it actually really really sucks.  But, we have such great intentions for our future here and traveling more for photo shoots that we weren't too bothered by all the boxes and actually like the idea of streamlining everything in our lives.  (Blah blah blah...sorry...I had to put something in there about how packing/unpacking is so time consuming & not really all that fun especially with kids who want your attention every second).  The girls were both excited and a little confused when we started moving all their toys and so I had to take couple photos of us playing a little hide-n-seek as the last few pieces of furniture were packed up and we left our home in Durango.

The good thing is that I am now out of move mode and back into work mode, so here come some blog posts & photo shoots again...I am making a promise to myself to try and post on the blog daily, so come and say hi to me on here whenever you can! I would really love to hear from the people who stop by here.

I cannot wait to see what is in store for us here and I look forward to meeting new amazing clients and friends. I do LOVE that part of moving!

Lots of love...xoxo~ heidi

I love this time of year so much.  Mainly because of the amazing peony bush in our front yard. I was ecstatic when it started to blossom a few days ago. I love filling our home with these soft white elegant flowers.  And the blooming time for them is so fleeting that it makes the time with them even more enjoyable.

Peonies also remind me of my beautiful and talented friend, Alana (MixedGreensEventDesign) in NYC.  Our first photo shoot together was of her picking these flowers in a gorgeous field of just peony bushes.

Kisses to Alana all the way in NYC!

So, my beautiful lifelong friend calls me one day...
"Heidi, I am getting married and I would love for you to be my matron of honor."
I was ecstatic for her. She had found her true love and perfect partner in life, Mario.
These two are so meant for one another. They laugh constantly and I LOVE that so much.  I was able to capture some photos of their wedding and while I was not taking photos, my very talented hubby, Daniel, took over for me.  These are just a few of my favorites from their special San Diego beach wedding.

Kristy and I have known each other since birth and seriously spent the first half of our lives inseparable, then my family moved to Durango, CO.  We have stayed close for the last 31.5 years and she means the world to me. I am so blessed that she is in my life and I adore her husband and I am so happy they have found each other.

What I didn't realize while enjoying their special day was that it was not just their beginning of a new life together, but a necessary moment in time for my husband and I to realize we were due for a new beginning as well.  Sun + beach can do strange things for your take on life and help isolate what is most important to the family's happiness as each day passes by faster and faster.

Long story short, we decided it was time to say goodbye to our beautiful little home town and forge a path together in to the city with aspirations of landing at our own special place along the beach in the future.  Our hearts and creative minds have centered on Denver where we already enjoy many wonderful friends and are addicted to the endless pallets the city holds for capturing what we see as artists.  This move just feels right.  We will treat Denver as our hub for traveling to our clients in CO, CA, NY, special destinations, and of course Durango (where we will come back often to visit family, friends & of course, schedule photo sessions).  I, along with my husband, expect to continue offering the best service I can to all past and future clients while expanding as artists and offering a very special look into the lives of those we are lucky enough to work with and call our friends.

We want to show our daughters that you can follow your dreams and be happy in everything that you do ~ no matter what it is. We want to be the happiest parents so that they can be the happiest of children.

So, we are embarking on a beautiful adventure to make a new life in a new city that we love and go explore the world while taking photographs for the most amazing clientele.
If you would like us to photograph you, please don't hesitate to contact us as we will travel to any location and welcome the new adventures!

Estimated time of departure from Durango to Denver is late summer 2010...stay tuned...

xoxo-heidi

...I love the spring so very very much...
...I love that the days are getting warmer so the girls can be outside in their bouncy house...
...Oh, and by the way, a mom's secret weapon for fun: the bouncy house...
...It keeps them entertained for quite a while...
...And gets them nice and tired...
...Thank you inventors of the bouncy house...

...I feel like I have not posted photos of my daughters lately and thought I would share a few photos I took recently...My youngest just turned two...sniff sniff...The days go by way to fast...they really really do...I love my girls with all my heart and am so grateful they are in my life...

P.s. the stinkin' cute outfits are, of course, from Love Bug Clothing Co...I will post more in color so you can see the pink tulle at the bottom of each outfit...but in the meantime, go check out the site for all the new clothes coming in daily...wow...I love that store...

And...I have a lot more photo shoots to post...soon...

...and I have been brainstorming ideas about balloons and engagement sessions...hmmmm...I can't wait to use them on all the sessions coming up!
