I can't believe it! We took these to send in his invites, we'll have another shoot closer to his birthday for some pictures to have around the house (that robot shirt is cute, but... come on!) Besides he's too cute! Can you believe how much he has grown up since December! I love watching these cuties grow!

2011-02-07T19:48:00.000-08:00

it has been two months since i last posted!!!

holy moly i am lame!!

its mostly because i have been busy!

i've done plenty of photoshoots that have not been blogged...

i have been playing at disneyland and with friends too much before my real job started

i've been avoiding my blog because it needs some serious updating!!

and i've been plain lazy in my little blog life!

TOMORROW!! {if i survived a work shift starting at 5 something AM!} I will be doing lots of editing on the little blog.a.log!

xoxo,
a girl who needs to update more than once every two months

2010-07-03T09:26:00.000-07:00

this week i finally went to new hire training, after about a month of being thrown to the lions in the field.

in training we studied and practiced lighting, poses, customer service, and others. i could recall lighting from my studio and portrait classes in college, however, they make more sense now.

but lighting patterns are now constantly engraved into my mind -- if i'm watching a movie all i can do is concentrate on is the shadows on their face, if i'm talking to someone or around people i check out what all the lights are doing to their face. its a blessing and a curse, being aware and recognizing is probably not a bad thing

but its a burden too -- its consuming me

just sayin

2010-05-31T23:09:00.000-07:00

so i am watching tonight's episode of the bachelorette, and since the first episode last week when i saw craig m. i was dying thinking of how all these men resemble each other in craig m. (3rd from the left)[click to enlarge]

JUST SAYIN!!!

sweet pupcake.

Today is my little Pipi's 2nd Birthday!

Piper Penelope Cordelia Matilda Gweneviere Sapphire Amarillys Lillyput Dempsey Wright's:
(yes that is her full name!)
tail wags all the time, even in her sleep
loves to bathe
needs licker's anonymous
is a fashionista and total girl, except when she burps and farts (hey! she's a dog!)
head is one-third of her body
was bred for beauty
easily entertains herself
is a little goat = eats EVERYTHING!
can sit, shake, lay down, and rollover
loves to eat!
not really a people person
can do the splits + stand on her tippy toes
has the saddest puppy dog eyes ever!

I LOVE HER!

KAILE & KOA. CUTE.

2010-05-04T11:29:00.000-07:00

Koa turned two last week and I am sure that Jodi has felt like the plumber's wife when it comes to photographs (we admitted to each other that child #2 hasn't been spoiled the way #1 has when it comes to getting his picture taken). So I snapped a couple real quick! I love them! They are too cute for words!

PS: I know you voted and some said they couldn't see all of the images, but if I downsize them, I think they are too small, so if you can't see 'em hold ctrl and hit - and you should be good to go!

DEEGAN'S 1ST BIRTHDAY.

2010-04-22T00:55:00.000-07:00

even though this cute little bugger is a little camera shy, he sure is adorable! i can't believe he is already one. i've been waiting a long time to get a glimpse of him through my lens! his family is so sweet and sure do love him! thanks k for letting me come and capture you're cutie's big birthday bash!

SARAH + A BUN IN THE OVEN.

2010-04-21T22:48:00.000-07:00

NIKI + TRENT. {SNEAK PEEK}

there was this charming little section of the conservatory dedicated to the miniture + recycled version of san francisco

inside the main part of the conservatory + a turtle shell plant + what the underneath of a lily pad looks like

these orchids definitely referenced little old japanese men

this is what the outside of the conservatory looks like

rey + elaine. married.

2010-04-02T14:16:00.000-07:00

here's a few little images i put together for this couple. they're the sweetest couple and i wish them all the best!

in my garden

2010-03-24T18:21:00.000-07:00

an update

our lovely little bird feeder has been very popular! i'm dying to be able to get a shot with a bird feasting!

ranunculas are my favorite posy

this little strawberry is going to e ready to be eaten! sadly i'm going out of town this weekend, so our dogsitter will probably get the first crop!

2010-03-19T11:56:00.000-07:00

I guess I'm feeling nostalgic lately... these are a few pieces of my grandmother's china from the 1940's. I recently inherited them. Aren't they sweet?

2010-03-18T19:41:00.000-07:00

I love this little girl, whom we affectionately call "Pipi!" She has quite the personality... she is naughty, coy, lovey, licky, and just plain hilarious! She also loves to take baths and play dress up {Yes I buy her clothes! I'm one of those people. Maybe I bought her a bikini and planning to get her a kiddie pool for those hot summer days in our near future!} Here she is behaving in the Garden.

2010-03-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

One of my fondest memories from early childhood was going to my Grandma's house and spending time in her garden. I also loved "helping" my Mom plant flowers in flower beds at our home. My mom is a great gardener... and I hope that the green thumb has been passed down to me from her. One of my goals for my post-grad life was to learn to garden. It sure is hard work, but you cannot reap what you cannot sew. I can't wait to eat all the yummy fruits, veggies, and herbs we are growing.

Rey + Elaine. Wedding. (Sneak Peak).

Alex's Winter Formal

2010-02-06T19:47:00.001-08:00

Alex went to his high school's winter formal tonight!! Here is a spread of handsome him and his gorgeous date!! Seriously... I'm jealous she is so cute! She was so red carpet worthy in her tiffany blue knee-length dress. Alex was so lucky to have some arm candy tonight. I'm secretly wishing that they'll get married {but not for like 12 years of course :)}

i love her vintage dress. and the monochromatic composition.

she's gorgeous. and was perfect for the shoot.

i love the ancient books in the library.

kristen and i were not looking forward to this, but really got into it.

they turned out great.

photos by yours truly and kristen thorne

boxers or briefs?

2009-06-22T19:05:00.000-07:00

i went home this weekend to surprise this little lady at her bridal shower.

she had NO idea that i was coming!

she was speechless!

i love her to death and am so grateful that she asked me to be a part of her big day.

i hope i make her proud.

here she is contemplating an answer about scott. she got 18 out of 21 questions right.

remember this post all about balloons

well i decided it was time for a similar one

this time all about umbrellas

i have always loved them

they make great books

they look good in photographs

mary poppins uses one

so does gene kelly

they have personality

they let you fly away

and i love my striped gold one

i saw the cutest old man

2009-06-09T11:02:00.000-07:00

driving next to me today.

he was wrinkled.

he was wise.

he wore a fedora with a thick ribbon on it.

and a mustard cardigan.

he drove an old, light blue chevy wagon of some sort.

i wish i had my camera.

i wish i could have followed him home.

or jumped in his car.

i wonder if he would have let me adopt him.

visit him everyday.

listening to his stories.

taking his photograph.

i wonder if he is lonely, if he has children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren.

i can just imagine his life in my head. timeless like movie. full of love + life + hardship.

i think i fell in love.

he was adorable.

i think i will miss rexburg when i'm gone.

2009-06-07T21:14:00.000-07:00

we went on location with some art college hired models. mine was garrett. we had fun. we discovered a dead racoon + beat up cars + and tried to run away from my instructor.

my day

2009-06-04T13:32:00.000-07:00

read about my wishes and dreams of turning ::21again::

i can't possibly come to terms with turning 22 -- uggghhhhh
it just sounds to old

sorry i am always linking you to THE OTHER blog
but venting about my personal life doesn't seem right on my profession's blog

should i start another blog?
about my discoveries of art, music, cures, and complaints

perhaps

maybe

3 blogs and 17 credits sounds really time consuming
i would rather be blogging anyway

maybe one of my graduation gifts to myself will be to author yet another blog.
a personal one.

sad news

2009-06-03T16:00:00.000-07:00

i just think she is gorgeous!
and we had so much fun!

hmmm

2009-05-19T13:33:00.000-07:00

lately i have been so enchanted by little photos of big balloons... and thinking that heathermariephotographie should maybe jump on this band wagon.
they add a sense of youth and playfulness.
i like it.
i think it could be something splendid.
what do you think about balloons?

i am also excited for the disney/pixar film UP! coming to theaters next friday.

Kaile and Koa

2009-05-16T19:52:00.000-07:00

Love these two! And finally able to get them together and mom mostly stress free to do a shoot with them! She is sassy and funny and adorable. He is charming and happy and precious! And they love each other!

Tracey's Baby Bump

2009-05-14T10:43:00.000-07:00

This lovely little soon to be mama was so fun to shoot! She was easy going and up for pretty much anything... and I think she is just lovely. Thanks to Rebecca for hooking us up! I can't wait to see her little guy after graduation :)

the temple and steam...

2009-04-30T14:08:00.000-07:00

make a lovely combination, especially after it has hailed, snowed, and rained today along with fierce winds. i love the rexburg temple! i know, i know, i take too many pictures of this temple, but it is so convenient when i can see it perfectly from my living room window.

here are some more photos of Brit!

2009-04-30T11:37:00.001-07:00

more to come!

the lovely....

2009-04-29T20:58:00.000-07:00

miss brit! as you all know, i shoot this lady all the time! maybe its because she's beautiful, maybe its because she demands that i boss her around, maybe its because she's always willing, and maybe its because we always have so much fun together! these are for my first portrait class assignment! enjoy!

oh idaho....

2009-04-29T20:02:00.000-07:00

i was driving home finishing up a project for my portrait class, got out of the car to look at the river, and heard some extensive moo-ing! i looked further down the road only to see some cowboys hearding all these cows and their babies into a pasture. The cowboys were whistling, and lasso-ing, and whipping, wearing chaps, cowboys hats, and boots! so i drove down a little farther, got out of my car and followed them on foot down the road. and, might i add, that they had completely stopped traffic and were stinkin up the place. it was the most exciting thing i've seen!

like i promised...

2009-04-07T12:40:00.000-07:00

i promised i would show you my prints.

while i was up ALL night, making books, getting my prints ready for the art sale, taking photographs of projects, and all that other wonderful nonsense, i took some shots of the goodness done in printmaking.

these are all on sale now along with some lovely little handmade books.

i am going to do an(other) edition of these next semester, they will be perfect and pretty and pristine.

so start your salivating

wait for the etsy shop

and don't steal

and now what you have all been waiting for:
combo i:combo ii:

combo iii:
and then i bought some goodies from e. house
so hopefully more prints and some books will sell so i can reimburse myself

happy tuesday!

... intro to studio lighting is dead!

as much as i complained and dreaded waking up for this tuesday/thursday 8 am class. i learned a lot and i am grateful that i was able to take it... but what a relief to turn in my final portfolio of 6 hand-matted and mounted images! the deadline for them is tomorrow at noon and i had those puppied turned in at 7!

here are my faves:
the purpose of this class was to learn the proper techniques in lighting in the studio for different types of subjects and situations. we also had a small section of portraiture. and i will be taking the portraiture class this summer!

this semester has FLOWN by! i can't believe it's almost over. there is cleaning and a little bit of packing to do... finals and final projects... and so much more! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

good suggestions
vine black

i hesitantly signed up for printmaking this semester (that is over in about a week+) because i had too. turns out... I LOVE IT!!! i didn't think i was that great, but they turn out ok. however, it turns out... people like my prints -- a girl in my bookarts class asked me if i was going to sell some of mine. i was shocked and said yeah i guess... then my teacher -- whom i just love -- said she really liked them too! i'm oh so proud of myself.

we have our first mini-edititon (of 5) due on monday... i'm a little nervous, but love the print. [i did sort of a series for my final 3 prints] maybe after that i'll get around to posting some photos of them and printing up some more and editioning them to make some MULAH!

no time until after finals!

can't wait for ADVANCED PRINTMAKING next semester! [block prints... yum!]

this little fishy

2009-03-26T22:29:00.000-07:00

in my book arts' class we are making a collaborative (everyone, well each group of two, makes 18 identical pages to give to everyone in the class) book... and this collaborative book is a pop-up! cool! i know! so my partner and i are doing the rainbow fish. to make our rainbow fish 18 times we used a gocco press. it is the neatest little gadget/japanese childrens toy, and of course i want one, and of course they have stopped making them. anyways... here's our rainbow fish pop up in the making.

Happy March EVERYONE!!!

Sorry heathermariephotographie has been MIA -- really busy semester! really great semester!

In January, heather made her way back to the BURG and has been enjoying a very mild, last winter, started making books and prints. she also made a quick, spontaneous visit to her immediate fam.

In February, heather shot her first wedding in C. Springs, CO -- sorry no pictures yet!!! please forgive me... if it makes you feel any better the bride hasn't even seen them! sorry em and fam! february just flew by... heather also applied to graduate in JULY. it's going to happen. sigh

Can't believe March is already here. I've applied for my very last semester in college... turned in way too many assignment so I could leave for SAN FRAN. In about 4 hours I will start a journey in a van with 10 other art students to northern california. don't miss me too much rexy! we have museums to go, works to see, stores to shop, and pictures to take -- which will hopefully be posted ASAP!

enjoy the apples.
count your blessings.
love those around you -- yeah... the 10 in a tiny bus for 28 hours... i will really be working on this one.

cheers!

2009-03-01T20:37:00.000-08:00

So this week for photo class we did a little studio shoot and we had to do 13 pictures of the same subject... mine started out as a peeler and then turned to apples. I still haven't really decided which ones I'll turn in or what exactly my subject was, but I really liked these.

Family Christmas 2008

So every year, for as long as I can remember, my Dad's side of the family has a Christmas party the Sunday before Christmas. It used to be a big event with cousins and cousins and cousins' cousins, a talent show, white elephant, and then every family would share what their big events were through that year. But as people have moved away and lives get busy it is much smaller now. Just my family, my two aunts and their families! We have dinner with soup, chips and dip (my favorite), and dessert and then we all just hang out and I of course take the family photos! And take way too many pictures of the babies (we missed Calleigh this year!) So... meet my family:

in LOVE

2008-12-02T00:28:00.001-08:00

How could you not be in LOVE with these two? They are perfect! Crazy. Cute. Sweet. Beautiful. All of the above and 10,000 more! So Koa may or may not have drool on his shirt, but you can't help but want to pinch his cheeks. And Kaile may or may not have the cutest, most innocent expression while watching her Dad try to get her to smile. I don't know what life would be like without them or their amazing parents and my amazing cousin who is my best friend (she is not pictured in fear of my life)! But I am seriously in LOVE!

After my brother got home from school today we ran out to the art colony and vintage shops in Pomona (ghetto? yeah). I love it down there though -- so artsy and I can see myself dropping some cash at the vintage shoppes :) Anyways Alex is always fun to shoot and at the end we did some sequences that I can't wait to stitch together when I get back to school. But enjoy these! All unedited. PS: I'm loving the wardrobe!

Color Photo Journal - DAY 5

2008-11-15T16:53:00.000-08:00

I have started to go out and shoot pictures like everyday, and it is super hard for me to just post things from my everyday life (mostly because I don't want to lug my camera around everywhere.) Anyway, today just wanted to get out and go photographing, so I took a picture of my steering wheel while driving. I love my car and driving!

Abandoned House

2008-11-08T21:05:00.001-08:00

So Britt (my model/photog friend) and I heard about this abandoned house like 15 miles outside rexburg... we were planning on going to Bannack Ghost Town, Montana, but the weather was a little sketchy and we didn't want to risk going all that way to get rained out; even though it was like misting the whole time we were out there and was freezing, but in the name of photography, well worth it. So this little abandoned house would have to suffice our need for the old and shambled. It was sweet though, a little creepy, but we got used to it. We went out there to try out some lenses we borrowed from the photolab, and we got some pretty successful images AND had tons of fun doing it. Hope you likey:

Just me doin my thing, and you can see how trashed this place was:
Britt workin the lensebaby:

Messin around when we got back to my place for some dinner and to upload, and try out the lenses a little more:

color photo class

2008-11-03T19:50:00.000-08:00

This week for my photography class, our assignment that was due was PORTRAITS! my favorite! so i commissioned my roommates (as usual) to lay, kneel, sit, stand, bend, etc. etc. in the stairwell of our apartment building. The lighting was fortunately lovely, but a little blue... surprise surprise... anyways, i am grateful for the willingness of my models... they turned out great!

sunrise, sunset

2008-10-25T17:30:00.000-07:00

So... I was commissioned this morning to drive a friend to the Idaho Falls Airport! We had to leave at 6 am this morning. Which doesn't really sound that early... but in Idaho it is still pitch black and is pitch black for like another hour and a half. And I also don't remember the last time I woke up before 7, let alone 5:15. So since I was up and never will be at that time again I thought I would go take some photos for a long term assignment... on my way back from the sight this is what I saw!!!! The colors were gorgeous!!!
Approximately 12 hours later this was the view out my living room window... gotta love Fall, except that it is getting a little too cold to be taking pictures outside, but when it is this, it is so worth it!

Crave these...

2008-10-21T22:49:00.000-07:00

So I was thinking about up-coming, non-existent, hyphen-crazy photoshoots... And I thought "WOW! Wouldn't it be cool to encourage people to book a shoot and get some RAD CUSTOM CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!" Well I immediately thought... "It sure would!" Check these rad guys out... you know you want'em! You could even customize your own colors and text! Book your shoot now! Call me: 909.632.6777! I'll be back in California November 21st-29th... JUST IN TIME TO SEND OUT SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER!

Calling all Seniors...

2008-10-21T21:02:00.001-07:00

Actually... I'm not picky... calling EVERYONE! I have been itching to do some portrait shoots... if you know someone or anyone needing pictures for anything... seniors, pregos, babies, families, children, teenagers, weddings, fam. reunions... ALSO Christmas is coming and I know everyone wants to send out cards with their photo on it... and not one of those cheesy walmart ones either! I don't care what, but spread the word and I am at your beck and call!
Now this has got me thinking... my old roommate is 5 months along... she is probably popping a bit, I should call her.
Also Emily's old roommate just had a baby... we ran into them at chili's... I was practically begging on my knees to get my lens on her little one.
Sad I'm missing Kaile's 2nd birthday! I promise I won't miss another!
Can't. can't. can't wait till my littlebig brother is a senior... one more year -- i have already started a mental list of the shots I want to get -- letterman's, class ring, waterpolo ball, a sweet tie, an embarrasing one in his scout uniform... where should we do these... maybe at his high school... who knows? But i gotta whole year to plan... He's also due for a his yealy shoot this year... we did last years a little early and its been over a year -- oh how I love him... ANYWAYS i'll stop babbling... If you or someone you know needs a photog LET ME KNOW!

Reflections of Christ

2008-10-17T00:18:00.000-07:00

I know this is MY photography blog, but I couldn't help but share this...
Here is one blessing of living in the freezing cold to go to a "Religious Education Center":
And that is getting to see some really cool stuff!
I had the chance to view a traveling exhibit in the religion building on campus here! It's called Reflections of Christ! They are a series of photographs on the life of Christ and they are B-E-A-U-TIFUL! Luckily for you -- they have a website... it is http://www.reflectionsofchrist.org after you get there I would click on the "Blog" link and view the video there... or actually a SLIDESHOW of the images (if it is not the first post, it was posted on October 10th.You could also go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YADkd1n_Dfo on YouTube to see all the images too.) The exhibit will be traveling more, maybe even to you! I emailed the guy in charge tonight to find out more info on the tour.) The reason for this "project" is for a book that you can buy at deseretbook.com -- I'm not sure if it is preorder still? I commissioned my mother to buy it IMMEDIATELY. But I might just have to run over to DB tomorrow to check it out for myself... because the exhibit is leaving our campus TODAY!
It is seriously the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Clearly a powerful testimony in my favorite artistic medium. I hope you will check it out! It's amazing how art stimulates the senses, even our spirits. It definitely gave my testimony a boost of the Living Christ and how important it is to be like Him.This is probably my favorite image from the exhibit!

Rexburg Temple

2008-10-16T18:19:00.000-07:00

So tonight in the freezing, windy RexBURG cold I went out to take some pictures of the temple at dusk. It wasn't quite sunset yet... but the sky was real pretty!

This is IDAHO--

2008-10-08T21:47:00.000-07:00

So I went out today with my friend Brittany (she's an art major also from NORCO, AND I seriously need to be taking some tips from her... she's amazing at everything:)... Anyways, I have an assignment due for my color photo class on COLOR EMOTION -- so we'll see what I decide to do... I can't deny that Idaho is Gorgeous this time of year -- It's definitely fall! The colors are beautiful AND it's beginning to get BURR COLD!
Also, I have been trying hard to kind of "define" my style... What do you think? Any requests of what you would like to see?
PS: Trying to get some PAYING portrait jobs is almost impossible in REXBURG! well i haven't really been trying... but really I will take any practice I can get. OO OO I have news! I will be shooting my VERY FIRST WEDDING in DENVER on FEBRUARY 7th!

This is BRIT-- such a MODEL!

Can you find the Fisherman?!

BRIT took this of me-- I told you I should be taking tips from her!

MATES

2008-10-05T12:09:00.000-07:00

Some... well all... of the roommates and I had a PHOTOSHOOT weeked! It was actually a lot of fun -- which i was surprised at because being the photographer i am DEFINITELY not used to being on that side of the camera... I thought I would shared since I hadn't posted in AWHILE!
enjoy!!!

what you all have been waiting for...

2008-08-07T23:30:00.000-07:00

... heather marie photogrpahie FINALLY has BUSINESS CARDS! it has definitely (i hate spelling that word) been a process -- finding the perfect paper -- getting the perfect paper -- designing the perfect card -- printing the cards -- cutting them... and SOON passing them out! I choose the long process for a couple of reasons:
1. I wanted to do them because I wanted them to be perfect
2. I am a CONTROL FREAK, and
3. I didn't want to pass out cheapy (which aren't actually all the cheap) out first because I would have probably hated them!

So anyways I hope all of you will get your little hands on them soon and spread the WORD! Especially because I am dying to do some shoots before I go back to school on Sept. 8th. So if you don't get a business card before you read this and want a session sometime this month...
Call me @ 909.632.6777
