The studio will be closed for summer vacation from July 28th – August 11th.
Emails and voicemails will be checked and returned during this time, though with a slight delay. I’ll be distracted by the Pacific coast, majestic redwoods and, if my son has his say, Legoland.
What an honor. A privilege. A goosebump kind of thing.
Watching a beautiful expectant couple, with all their hopes and aspirations wrapped in mystery, transform into adoring, attentive parents over the span of a few days.
Truly, it was delightful to create both maternity and newborn portraits with this family. As the new, glowing dad in these pictures said to me during our first session, “My wife makes your job easy, doesn’t she.” And I, with my degree in English completely failing me, responded, “Well, yeah.”
Nicholas’s Grandma made a special trip from Central America for his arrival and I was so pleased to capture some images of her as well. I know from my own experience how irreplaceable this special help is. Thank you for welcoming me into your home and heartfelt congratulations on your safe arrival, Nicholas!

First, a huge THANK YOU must be given to all the families who braved the 90+ temperatures for Saturday’s GIMME 5 sessions in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Every single family was on time and ready to rock and roll. “Cooler by the Lake”, my &%!. It was H O T.
With all the parents being so upbeat, we worked fast to get some great images. (Didn’t anyone tell the kids it was super hot? Where do they get their energy?) I especially loved how the parents wanted to embrace the sculptural and architectural elements within the park and capture some of the magic that we all experience when we are there. It seemed like the whole day had great balance. Soft childrens’ faces with strong architectural lines. 4 boys and 4 girls. Strong sun and diffuse shade.
The fall GIMME 5 sessions are booking up quickly. They are the perfect way to get holiday cards images and presents for grandparents crossed off the to-do list!

Great shots of Reid and Sheridan, Heidi! Thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing the rest, Mary
Warning. Vacation pictures. And they’re big.
Well, last weekend was my birthday. Not the big 4-0 or anything, just a birthday. My husband surprised me with a last minute getaway to a secret destination. In the airport at 6.30am, I discovered we were headed to New Orleans! Never been there before. Full of preconceived notions. Very excited.
It is hard to really say how wonderful it is to walk around a strange city with my camera. I usually take my D700 with a 50mm on vacation. I don’t like taking a point and shoot, but if Panasonic wanted to send me a Lumix I might change my mind. An SLR is a little heavy but it is small enough to carry all day and be hidden in a purse when you don’t want to broadcast your camera around.
Yes, all these places, people and things have probably been photographed by millions of other tourists. Somehow that does not diminish my joy in it. I’m not going to give full explanations of each image, for fear of boring you all completely.
And thanks, Honey. Yer the best.

Oh, Heidi, what a fantastic capture. Thanks for sharing it. I love, love, love New Orleans, though I have not visited since Katrina. I love seeing your other work outside of the portraits. Really beautiful.
What a pleasure to capture this little peanut, relaxing at home with his family. Welcome to the world!
It was such a warm and pleasant day, we were able to take him outside on the patio to capture some images in the open space. The third image in this set was taken outside. No, I did not ‘photoshop’ his eyes. They are bright and sparkling from the reflection of the patio window and the vibrant blue sky. Don’t ya just love light?
Thanks for a wonderful morning
— Heidi
