First Fall Family Session of 2014

So this should come as a surprise to exactly... nobody... but I have been sorely lacking in my blog posting yet again. I will start with my most recent session and post some highlights from previous sessions soon!

The L family has been one of my longest returning clients. I first met them when little K was just 3 months old, and she is now in kindergarten! It is truly an honor that this family is willing to make the drive from Naperville south to meet up with me each fall. I have greatly enjoyed watching the kids grow, and love catching up on all the new and exciting things that are going on in their lives!

Here are a couple shots from last weekend's session... we really did capture some great moments again this year!

 A big thank you to the L and B for allowing me to record your beautiful family's memories once again :)

8th Grade Promotion... How Can That Be?!

I realized just how long it's been since I posted on this blog (sorry, poor little blog, but Facebook has been getting ALL the attention lately). Oh my! I'll have to try to do better in 2014!

In other news, my daughter (my firstborn, my sweet baby girl) is in 8th grade, and there is talk of 8th grade class trips, dances, and... promotion/graduation ceremonies. How did that happen? How in the world did she go from her first day of kindergarten, in the cute little denim jumper and ankle socks with the Care Bear backpack, to EIGHTH GRADE in a blink of an eye?! Sooo very hard to believe...

In honor of my daughter's upcoming graduation from 8th grade (small sob), I have decided to run a studio special for other parents who would like to commemorate this occasion as well!

Please contact me at 815-354-7408 or heidi@heidikreitzphotography.com in order to take advantage of this special.

Now, I must locate a tissue while I look through old photos of my daughter... :)

Whatever the occasion, spring mini-sessions are a perfect way to get some fantastic photos taken at a great price!

Make an IMPACT with canvas!!

Any past clients looking to order an image on canvas?? Got an upcoming session scheduled that you're planning to get a canvas?? I'm running a special - 20% OFF - on all canvas orders through Saturday, January 12. Please call or email me to lock in your special pricing!

Shown here is a 20x30" gallery wrap canvas, surrounded by 12x12" framed prints on the top and 16x20" framed prints on the bottom. Canvas definitely adds that WOW factor!!

Another sneak peek... one outdoors and one studio!

The end of October surprised us all with a few gorgeous days! I had to reschedule a session with these two boys from the week before for rain, and I was sure glad we did! This day was beautiful... sunny and warm. We headed out to a local forest preserve for a quick mini-session and got some great shots.

Here is one of my favorites... their smiles just make me want to laugh along with them!

Then, just a few short days later, the weather changed. Luckily, we had a studio session scheduled for this chilly and blustery day! I've been photographing Miss K since she was only a few months old, and she just turned 4. Can't believe how time flies! She has definitely become a sweet and funny little girl... she kept me laughing through this session too.

Is it any surprise I love my job?!

Sneak Peek for the L and R families!

I have to confess that I have neglected this blog... big surprise, if you look at the frequency of posts on here. I tend to post most things on Facebook and kind of forget about this place!

So, that said, I have a couple previews to post from 2 families that have been with me for quite some time! I started photographing the L family when little K was just 3 months old, and in a few weeks we'll be doing her 4-yr session! I have also been photographing N for the past 4 years, and she has certainly grown into a lovely young lady. Amazing how time flies...

First, the L family... love the fall setting!

Next up, N, looking beautiful as usual:)

Thanks for checking in, and I'll try to post some sneak peeks from other sessions in the next few days:)
