Favorites of 2009 and some news

2009 was a great year for me. I really enjoyed the many families I was able to photograph and feel I have grown as a photographer and person. I have some news for 2010. I usually raise my prices at the beginning of each year, so count on news of that soon. If you book before the news is announced you will still get 2009 pricing. Sessions will be a bit limited in 2010, due to me expecting our 2nd child. You can contact me at heather@photosbyhm.com if you are planning to do a session with me this year. Here are a few of my favorites from 2009, it was very hard to choose!































Told you I had a hard time deciding. :) I'm excited to see what 2010 brings!

Shout out for my friends.

This sweet couple would be my friends Paige and Nick. Paige was one of the first people I met and became friends with when I moved down to St. George to go to college. We were in the same singles ward for a few years and then both got married about a month apart and went to the same married ward. Paige and Nick have been trying to adopt, and they remind us that the adoption process usually begins through a friend or family member. So, I am posting this in hopes that someone may read this and maybe pass it along. Then, maybe my friends can receive what they desire, to become parents. I know they will make the very best of parents! To learn more about them you can go to their adoption blog. http://paigeandnick.blogspot.com/

A fun frame

Just a fun frame I wanted to share.

The {K} Family

When we went out to shoot this family, it had gotten really cold and windy. But they were still troopers. We only got a few of each of the kids, but will be doing a whole family session soon.

A few more of these cuties

Here are just a few more of these two.. So cute!


She was having such a great time driving the old truck

Another favorite.. so cute the way she is looking at him.. you can tell she loves her brother.

Just one for now

Well, my editing has been put on hold the last few days. My son has been sick with a fever and has just wanted his mommy. But I just love this photo from this session, so I had to edit it while my son is watching Word World. I just love the way she is looking at him while she gives him a kiss. I didn't tell her to do this and I'm not sure that anyone did. She just did it. So sweet! More to come of these two!

The {S} Family

Down it St. George it went from bright sunny days to cloudy, windy and cold with a sprinkle of rain. But I think we got some fun ones of the {S} Family anyway. I have shot at this location MANY times before but I had never noticed this dirt road that led to another old house and an awesome old truck. Makes me wish I still lived in St. George. I had a hard time choosing which ones to share.. so be prepared for a big preview! :)








So fun! I was glad they were up for this shot!
