Heather Cole Photography Blog » Blog

Thanks for stopping by and checkin out my blog. As you can see it's not just about my photography, it's about my life and everything that goes with it which is JUST AS IMPORTANT as my photography because when you hire me as your photographer - you aren't just getting a photographer, you're getting a friend and most likely...for a LONG TIME. :) So - it's important I learn all about you and you learn all about me.

Speaking of me...here's a few things you might not know about me..

* I'm five foot (but this "natural blonde" Italian can pack a lot of punch)
* I married my high school sweetheart (14 years later, I'm still MADLY in love).
* I'm a mom of two amazing girls, Olivia and Jillian
* I'm addicted to chocolate chip cookies....wanna win my heart - that's how.
* Some of my closest friends were my previous clients now, they're just family. :) Hope you like spaghetti - cause every once in a while - I might invite you over for a home cooked meal...hmm...I'm hungry now. :)

Can't wait to hear from you!

I bet you all were wondering where I’ve been. I mean – it’s been A LONG time since I’ve last posted. So what’s been going on?? Well…let’s see…

First – my husband who had been training for 9 months, climbed Mt. Rainer. Yeah…I said, MOUNT RAINER!!! My husband is beyond amazing. His dedication to the training and the CLIMB ITSELF- it’s remarkable. Here are a few pictures from his trip that I LOOOVE!!

Baby – you are as hot as they come!! WOW to that!!!

Hiking as the sun was coming up…isn’t it beautiful!!

LOOOVE this one.

The SUMMIT!!

As Jake was climbing his mountain, Olivia just finished her first ever trip (eight days) without mom or dad. I had a family reunion take place in Wyoming and since I had a wedding I couldn’t attend. My mom asked if she could take her by herself and after thinking about it for a while, I thought it would be a great experience for Olivia. She came home completely grown up. I think she grew 4 inches and aged a year.

Jillian is also changing in front of my eyes!! In a blink of an eye, my daughter has gone from a baby – to an EIGHT MONTH OLD. She has five teeth now, and is crawling!! Holy Cow – how is the possible?? Here are some updated pictures of her at 7 1/2 months.

Okay seriously?? How cute are they??

Last but not least…me. Well I’ve been shooting A LOT. Engagements, families, weddings, it’s awesome!! I’ve also been working hard at my goal to lose some weight. I’ve lost a total of 17.6 so far. My good friend, Kassia, came over to visit and took some pictures of me and my girls for the first time since Jillian was 9 days old. Needless to say – it was the FIRST time I’ve felt good enough to be in front of a camera. The hard work is PAYING OFF.

Keep checking back for updates. I promise – it won’t be as long next time.

Hugs,

Heather
