portraits of Gary + Heather and their bunch | iowa city, ia family & children photographer

I'll never forget the first time I met Heather.

I was driving through a nearby town, shortly after meeting Marci, and I saw a mom walking while wearing her baby in a carrier.

I thought it was Marci so I stopped, rolled down the window and yelled hi!

Heather responded smilingly with something like, "I'm not Marci, but I'm on my way to Marci's house!" :)

I smiled back and said it was nice to meet her, and then drove off.

Later in the spring I saw her again when I did pictures for her daughter, Sina along with Lucy.

The thing I just love about Heather is how FULL of life she is.

Always laughing and smiling--anytime I see her! So fun to be around.

It was a true joy to photograph her and Gary and their beautiful kids!

Sophie, Atticus, Sina, and Arlo.

I just love creative names like these.

Hope you can feel the love and joy oozing from these frames like I can.

Heather, you are simply gorgeous. had to throw this frame in here! Marci and Heather are best friends and we ran into her while walking to another location. :)

love,

~H. Elise
