Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Happy Mother’s Day Mommies…..reminding you to GET IN the photos with your babies & enjoy the moments.

A POEM FOR MOM

You are the sunlight in my day,
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon,
You are the one that makes troubles be gone.
You are the one who taught me life,
How not to fight, and what is right.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my mom.
You are the one who cares for me,
You are the eyes that help me see.
You are the one who knows me best,
When it’s time to have fun and time to rest.
You are the one who has helped me to dream,
You hear my heart and you hear my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love,
I’m blessed for God sent you from above.
You are my friend, my heart, and my soul
You are the greatest friend I know.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my Mom.

Home Is The Nicest Word :: { Washington Lifestyle Family Photographer}

VeLvet OwL Photography — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:29:34 +0000

Home.

Beauty in the everyday.

There’s often these moments that happen while at home and I think, man, I wish this was on camera… or I want to remember THIS forever. Times like when we are making dinner together as a family or while we’re just laying around playing playing board games or reading books.
These little moments that in and of themselves aren’t spectacular moments, but they are our everyday memories and the moments that make up our lives.

I want to always remember the everyday…. because it means the most to me…

Phone pics are great for capturing most days (keep on snapping daily memories!!) but when it’s time to truly capture your story… it’s time for your very own at home lifestyle session… and you know where to find me!

I am so happy when my clients feel these same emotions and want their families captured with those valuable memories as well. Lifestyle at home sessions are truly amazing. If you haven’t given it a chance…. you definitely should. It’s fun, relaxing and there is a certain comfort that comes from being in your own environment.

This is the type of album everyone needs sitting on their coffee tables.

Invest in your memories…in freezing the little moments that pass so quickly.

“Home is the nicest word there is.” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

I absolutely loved photographing this loving family in their everyday, thank you for inviting me into your home….enjoy the preview.

As always, your comments and your “LIKES” encourage me to keep on blogging ~ so don’t be shy!!

Much Love & Happiness ~Heidi
