greetings from sunny (and foggy) los angeles, ca


Hi, I'm heather. I like taking pictures. I take a lot of them. I stay up way too late. I wake up with my kids way too early (for me). Though slowly I'm learning that sleep is good.

I love photographing newborns, toddlers, kids (I've got two of my own), families, pets...you name it! Large groups and weddings make me way too nervous, but I'd be happy to refer you to other photographers in the area.

I love to hear your comments, so feel free to add to my blog by posting. Having a hard time remembering "umami?" Well, I wanted a name that would be easy to remember, spell and find, but apparently I did none of that, so if you'd like to get emails when I post, just add your email to the "subscribe here" box... you'll be the first to find out when I'll be offering mini sessions and other specials!

have a happy day... heather

just around the house

So, after two and a half weeks of being on vacation, I finally took jack back to preschool today. I'm pretty sure I was more excited that he was. Actually, Kaylie was the most excited...she screamed with joy when I asked her if she wanted to go to school.
Well... once I pulled in to the nearly empty school parking lot, I knew something was up. That's right, school doesn't resume until tomorrow. The parents in jack's class must not read emails very closely since 3 of the 6 moms tried to dump off our kids today (we were all late too).... ;)

We striked up a playdate in the parking lot, and within five minutes aiden and his ultra cool mom were over at our house.

Just some impromtu pics.

aiden's a big climber and daredevil (pretty opposite to jack), but jack really got into climbing while aiden was over. I think our fig tree actually liked the company.




aiden tried poking me with the branches




ouch! ;)




and here's a pic of kaylie wearing her "farmer dell" hat.




and just to prove she really a happy/crazy girl. I think the problem is that I can only get her in focus when she's being calm.

Aw, Kaylie looks so sweet and innocent. You'd never know she's Trouble.

Oh and boy is she Trouble! She even likes the taste of soap.
