I just hate it when two things happen, 1) I start craving homemade cheesecake and 2) cream cheese goes on sale at harris teeter…….it’s like the perfect storm. all of my excuses go out the window. last night, I succumbed to the call of the cheesecake recipe, nestled safely within the pages of my barefoot contessa cookbook and made a near perfection cheesecake ( yeah, I am in one of those humble moods today). so maybe I should wait to start the P90x workout……

kristi hedberg photography – when life gives you lemons | asheville photographer
keep your fingers crossed that they are in the form of this sumptuous new meyer lemon scented candle……..even walking in out of the snowy mess outside of my home, I feel as if I have stumbled into a citrus grove deep in the heart of central california. just heavenly.

kristi hedberg photography – magical | asheville lifestyle photographer
10 inches on the ground, and possibly 6 to 8 more to come tomorrow……it was just magical today. The first of these were taken after about an hour and a half of very steady snowfall this afternoon, and the last, outside in the incredible quiet that befalls a neighborhood after a dumping of snow…..and after 10 pm. I was handholding them at a second or more, so there is a bit of blur…….but again, just magical

i had the opportunity to hang out at the most inspiring house today, while photographing products for the owner’s company……..some people just ooze style!
A few sneak peeks
kristi hedberg photography – fog | asheville photographer
as I was driving my youngest home yesterday, we passed through this section of our neighborhood, just as the fog was beginning to form as the relative warmth began to slide away, and interacted with the cool of the streams and ponds that dot the landscape. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me, but dashed back home to grab it. By the time I returned, the fog had risen considerably……but the light was still so amazing. Winter is long from over, but the day we had yesterday gave us all a little something to hold onto to tide us over until spring arrives.

a peek inside a recent favorite book design….just loved meeting this wonderful family, and I was given complete artistic freedom in their book design was so much fun! Thanks Tricia and Tom!

kristi hedberg photography – Breck Girls | asheville family photographer
If you are old enough to remember…..and I am…..the old Breck girl commercials, then the photos of these girls might spark memories of those somewhat painterly images of the girls with the golden hair…..The woods we photographed in are now snow packed and probably won’t be suitable for shooting in again until spring. The ground gets that trampled look after a snow, so our timing and weather were perfect. Mom wanted to surprise dad with a few images for Christmas….knowing he reads this blog, I have been holding back on posting, but now I know….he received them a little early so I won’t be ruining any surprises. He is one lucky dad, don’t you think?!
kristi hedberg photography – california dreaming
It’s been a bit too long between posts for me…..so decided it is time for a few personal travel shots. Love these special days with my family!
kristi hedberg photography – thanksgiving | asheville photographer
just a few quick shots from my niece’s visit on Thanksgiving…she is SO cute!
and in the last image, with my mother in law ( who will likely hate this photo of herself……but I think she is beautiful!)

For the past semester, M has been working on her senior project all about photoshop and the ramifications that the powerful program can have on the developing sense of self amongst teens….well today’s mentoring session, found M being in front of the camera, and then in front of the computer as we tweaked and ‘artified’ the few images we took earlier today. Today’s session found us off the normal path of cloning, liquifying and the other major “fix it” tools we have been discussing, and instead found us experimenting with background, lighting, crops and texture overlays…….she really is this cute naturally!
