When I'm looking through my lens it's as if I'm in a different world and everything is so beautiful and REAL. It may be smiles, it may be tears but it's honest and true. I capture what's real so you can look back and remember exactly what you were at that moment in time.Heather Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646684399195356783noreply@blogger.comBlogger163125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714380031682771739.post-44920261603231092002012-04-09T20:24:00.003-04:002012-04-09T20:29:53.271-04:00www.hsphotography.org<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggh-ModZO14TUvpPtDXtpD0GphFy37lmMX-6joYOnmkn8g8GQxoQ-529Qj8AfjQBPylhnLwJL2BFWavycJk8sbf4ciMZvSbzqLwubfhtSl3rSxYjQXx_CRfPByheMSRhIAmuF0hEY_teA/s1600/WE%2527VE+MOVED.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 296px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729562430374785458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggh-ModZO14TUvpPtDXtpD0GphFy37lmMX-6joYOnmkn8g8GQxoQ-529Qj8AfjQBPylhnLwJL2BFWavycJk8sbf4ciMZvSbzqLwubfhtSl3rSxYjQXx_CRfPByheMSRhIAmuF0hEY_teA/s400/WE%2527VE+MOVED.jpg" /></a><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px currentColor;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/387/47B7BD7524B3824E98439A054AD0A255.png" /></a><a href="http://facesofloss.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" border="0"><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy44/smallbirdstudio/August%202010/facesoflossfacesofhopebutton2.png" /></a></div>Heather Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646684399195356783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714380031682771739.post-35598797239067093732011-12-24T11:33:00.009-05:002011-12-24T14:11:45.767-05:0012 Days of Christmas<div align="center">Let's face it. Christmas has become a very materialistic holiday. So many just think about what they are getting for Christmas, how much money they'll get or who can get the biggest gift. We tend to forget about why we even celebrate Christmas. Well, here's an easy reminder. . . It's called CHRISTmas. The first 6 letters in the word gives it away. We celebrate CHRIST's birth. The ULTIMATE gift. The most precious gift anyone could give.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center">Personally, even though we celebrate the birth of Jesus with a birthday cake every year and give to the needy, etc, throughout the year off and on and could care less about any gifts for myself, I've quickly realized that between me not getting much as a child and my husband being spoiled as a child, we are SUCKERS when it comes to CHRISTmas for our son and this year, our SONS. (This thrills me to be able to say "SONS" this Christmas! I got my present in September this year!!) This means that we can't help but want to work our butts off and give them everything they could want. It's not right. How many gifts we give our children do not tell them how much we love them. Honestly, there is nothing that our children can hold in their hands that can ever show them how much we love them. Really, I LOVE the fact that a few of my friends only give their children 3 gifts because that's what Jesus got. Jesus received Gold, Frankincense and myrrh. Their thought is if three gifts were enough for jesus that should be plenty for their own children. I admire them. I hope to one day be able to do this. Right now though, I'm just one big SUCKER.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center">So, although our children may be spoiled, as a family, we decided to count down the 12day's of CHRISTmas by doing 12 days of Random Acts of Kindness. Granted, these were all planned out so I guess they're not quite so random. This is a new CHRISTMAS tradition in our family now! I want my children to know the reason we celebrate CHRISTmas, why it's better to give than to receive, but the only way they'll "know" is by doing. So, here's what we did and few cell phone snap shots of us doing them. This really helped us get in the CHRISTmas spirit but also helped our son and family in countless ways!<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>12 Random Acts of Kindness</strong></span><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>1.)

But sometimes we just have to give to give and hope for the best. )</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>4.) We donated a big bag of dog food to our local animal shelter.</strong><br />(and we got to take a tour and see all the doggies, puppies and kitties which Landon really enjoyed)<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>5.) (This was Landon's idea) we bought 18 toys and stood outside of Kroger and CVS and handed them to every child we saw.<br /></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgbGp-SK8v7a2I3_4J1hN4e5f43BuLrTypvLvvtlEgdamVFgtJHXniW-zKLoj7VpAyHlMrmaEe2XwrAWEN9P2C7S06_zsChS_ej6te2nWv1GO_Z57YQ7wNQUPqQribed6NbB-Oeq-c3k/s1600/2011-12-1816.05.24.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689756149500883234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgbGp-SK8v7a2I3_4J1hN4e5f43BuLrTypvLvvtlEgdamVFgtJHXniW-zKLoj7VpAyHlMrmaEe2XwrAWEN9P2C7S06_zsChS_ej6te2nWv1GO_Z57YQ7wNQUPqQribed6NbB-Oeq-c3k/s400/2011-12-1816.05.24.jpg" /></a><br />(this Act of kindness was one of the biggest for Landon. We heard stories of sick kids and kids parents who were in jail and didn't have any toys for christmas. This really touched Landon's heart and the joy on his face to give toys to these kids was priceless. You never know what people are going through and I really think this made a SMALL difference in our community. ALSO - during the hour and half that we spent handing out toys a man gave us $10 and told us he LOVED what we were doing and that we could buy more toys with it or just donate it but that he knew we'd do good with it. So Landon also got to see that when other see us being kind and giving, it beings out the kind in others as well.) </div><br /><br /><p align="center"><strong>6.)While in line at KMART there was a little boy (about 6 years old) and his mother. The only thing they were buying was a pack of hot wheels cars and he was SUPER excited about them. We gave him a $5 gift card to help him pay for it.<br /></strong></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><strong>7.) We gave our UPS man a christmas card telling him how much we appreciate him. (He's at our house sometimes 3-4 times a week for my business and he helped us work with our dog who used to HATE him)with a $15 Applebees gift card and KID pack of coupons for free items for McDonalds for his 2 year old little boy.<br /></strong></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><strong>8.) Made a homemade meal and took it to a mommy who just had her second baby.<br /></strong>(There were several people from MOPS who did this for me and she was one of them. She had never even met me before and still signed up to bring me dinner so I had to return the favor!)</p><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>9.) Josh and Landon spent 1 hour helping people load groceries into their cars and take their shopping carts back for them at Kroger.</strong></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzod2oKNtDvHal_Zmw86tvEtJSMXsPI6R_MdRKCtI_DT4fy8WEdEu9383DvVT1ZLpmodZ4RRzJJYPe7L-nrpwnC04rwVeiLuMAQMKEAIjh6ZTCD4lLo-U2lQKHSSp-5uOlHRAtbgARyws/s1600/IMAG0401.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 239px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689758397371688034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzod2oKNtDvHal_Zmw86tvEtJSMXsPI6R_MdRKCtI_DT4fy8WEdEu9383DvVT1ZLpmodZ4RRzJJYPe7L-nrpwnC04rwVeiLuMAQMKEAIjh6ZTCD4lLo-U2lQKHSSp-5uOlHRAtbgARyws/s400/IMAG0401.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center">(This was a really good one for Landon. He realized that it's not just about giving presents it's about giving our time to help others. Josh said everyone was so nice and let him help put their groceries in their cars and take their carts back. People even gave him candy canes as a thank you. This was also big for my husband. He really enjoyed doing this with our oldest son.)</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><strong>10.) We took a Christmas card to Landon and Josh's Barber with a $15 gift card in it.</strong></p><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>11.) Landon went through his toys and picked out a whole bag full to donate.</strong></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><strong>12.) We went through some clothes and donated them. </strong></div><br /><p><strong></strong></p><br /><p align="center"><strong>In addition to these acts of kindness, Heather Smith Photography fans have been so generous in helping me get 30 COATS donated for the needy!! I'd like to reach 50, so please continue to donate if you can! </p><br /><div align="center"><br /></div></strong><br /><br /><div align="center">This was a wonderful experience and we'll continue to do this each year for Christmas. CHRISTmas should be today what it was about on the very first CHRISTmas.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">Giving to others and showing God's love. That's how we bring others to know Christ all while teaching good values and giving back to our community.

I do not like pictures of myself. I'm very awkward in front of the camera. It's summer so it's hot and humid. Take those three things and add on the fact that I feel quite large and uncomfortable at 29 weeks pregnant and well, it's kind of a recipe for disaster.
<br />
<br />After losing a baby last November, I couldn't wait to become pregnant again. My husband and I felt the need to have another child in our family, so basically, because we know life is so unpredictable and we don't know what hand we'll be dealt, I need to love myself and enjoy this pregnancy, no matter how uncomfortable I am physically or in front of the camera. God promised that if we gave our hearts and lives to him that he would be there for us through it all. He never promised that our life on Earth would be easy. So I'm celebrating my life right now, in this moment. My very patient husband, son and I went yesterday evening to do some maternity pictures. It's very difficult trying to be your own photographer, but I really enjoy doing my own editing, to my own taste and I must admit, of the ones we got, I'm very pleased with them. Sure I would have liked to mix it up a bit and been more creative, but you can't get funky with different angles and ideas, without seeing it through the lens, at least that's how it is for me!! Although my husband is not a photographer by any means, I think he did a fantastic job doing my individual shots!! Thanks babe. <3
<br />
<br />So, here are some images I wanted to share with you of my family. Landon is getting ready to start Pre School in only 2 weeks, so of course I had to get a few "back to school" shots with him :) And I just happened to get a great shot of my husband (which, like me, does not like being in front of the camera) too, so I had to post it as well!!</div>

The evening this little guy came into the world, we had a terrible rainstorm causing me to have to drive 40MPH on the interstate and making it about 40 mins before he came into the world, but the timing couldn't have been better! God got me there safely and Momma gave birth 100% natural with NO drugs whatsoever. Baby boy came quickly and soon after, nursed like a champ. </div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">I, well, I was just in complete awe of her strength and amazing super-mom abilities. I was shaking as the baby came closer to delivery and the eye piece of my Canon Mark II filled with tears. It was such an amazing experience for me, to be there, with my friend and capture her sons one and only BIRTH DAY! I'm so thankful that I have this job. It really is just amazing!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Here are some of the images from the birth.

Academy Photography Workshop 7-09-2011<div align="center">MAMARAZZI ACADEMY photography Workshops are sooo much fun!! 4+ hours of non stop learning and fun! We went over so much and then the best part - we got to go and practice what they learned!!! They got to practice on each other, get help and critique while shooting and we even got to photograph the neighbors beautiful alpacas! Because the weather was bright and beautiful everyone got to learn how to "find the light" which is challenging and fun! </div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">I've already gotten a couple emails with images attached of what all they photographed after they got home, and they are seeing amazing improvements as a result of taking the workshop! I love seeing the results and hearing what all you've learned and how much my class has helped you to take better snapshots of your babies :) I really enjoyed meeting everyone and having you all in my home! Remember - Quantity then Quality, ladies!!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">Here's some of the images from the workshop!! MAMARAZZI attendees will now be getting one of these ADORABLE necklaces custom made for me by TUTU Cute Boutique :)</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="2 ad copy copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927833806/"><img height="683" alt="2 ad copy copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6025/5927833806_c0257b0a58_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2846 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927276511/"><img height="1024" alt="IMG_2846 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6126/5927276511_d446b9b305_b.jpg" width="725" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2861 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927836082/"><img height="629" alt="IMG_2861 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6135/5927836082_16241138ae_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2869 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927304059/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_2869 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6014/5927304059_76881c6162_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2874 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927284165/"><img height="1024" alt="IMG_2874 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5927284165_2f1522600e_b.jpg" width="683" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2892 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927843620/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_2892 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6024/5927843620_e2ed98c601_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2908 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927844720/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_2908 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6017/5927844720_431c4685fa_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2929 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927846132/"><img height="1024" alt="IMG_2929 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6024/5927846132_c29c429e3c_b.jpg" width="683" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2935 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927291251/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_2935 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6006/5927291251_221fb38a73_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_2927 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927854918/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_2927 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6126/5927854918_118e8cd46e_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_9744 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927293655/"><img height="683" alt="IMG_9744 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5927293655_e2e487bafd_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="IMG_3392 copy by hsphotography1, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35302610@N07/5927852360/"><img height="1024" alt="IMG_3392 copy" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5927852360_25c5e0a27a_b.jpg" width="656" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/387/47B7BD7524B3824E98439A054AD0A255.png" /></a><a href="http://facesofloss.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" border="0"><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy44/smallbirdstudio/August%202010/facesoflossfacesofhopebutton2.png" /></a></div>Heather Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646684399195356783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714380031682771739.post-49560699460113592482011-07-11T12:06:00.003-04:002011-07-11T12:15:51.567-04:00Handsome boy :)<div align="center">I got to photograph this handsome 5 year old yesterday in Charleston!

Needless to say, it has been VERY difficult choosing the best images from this session because they're all breath takingly gorgeous! I want all of them in 20x30's in organic bloom frames and they're not even my children!! Thanks for a great session D Family!! You were patient and so good!

It was hot. It was sticky. But, we had fun! I had photographed part of this family a couple times before, but they recently moved so I got to visit their new home, which has an amazing view of pretty much all of charleston! I just LOVED it up there! Here's your sneak peek!! I took almost 700 pictures yesterday! WOW! It's going to be so hard to narrow it down!

Beautiful Senior.<div align="center">So yesterday, although kind of crazy, was a beautiful fun day! Miss. *M* and her momma drove 2.5 hours to have her senior session with me which was to include both studio and on location. Needless to say, when I got back from church yesterday afternoon, I had NO POWER! No power = no working studio lights! So, we decided to go ahead and do the on location part of the session and wait to see if the power came back on later! After 2 hours of shooting on location, the power was still out, so Miss *M* will be coming back next week to finish the studio part of her session, however, the on location shoot went awsome!
