information and photos from Kristi Hedberg Photography, Asheville, North Carolina photographer
I asked Colleen to give me three words to describe how she wants others to see her in these images……..those three words were
warm, relaxed, engaging
and I can tell you, my job was so easy, because those are the three things she exudes with absolutely no effort. I also have to add, that I have never, ever seen such a beautiful head of hair….my goodness, she is blessed with perfect thick gorgeous hair!
here you go, colleen!
Isabella was so much fun to photograph….just perfectly exuberant and joyous. I would show her the images on the back of the camera, and she would break out into the biggest grin you’ve ever seen, so thrilled with what we were capturing….and I think you will agree, that joy certainly shows in these images. she’s a quilter, she’s an engineer, she’s a consultant, and she’s a mommy to a gorgeous german shepherd, she is the joyful Isabella!
after only five minutes of talking with Tonya, you find yourself so excited about making positive changes in your life, you just can’t believe it……did she ever pick the right profession. This woman just exudes joy and positivity, and, um, did I mention that she is gorgeous as well? She remarked to me at the start of this session that she is a novice in front of the camera…….if that is the case, I certainly could not tell! Here is a sneak peek!
these images need little explanation………i present to you the very talented and incredibly beautifulCari Cole, who I was lucky enough to be able to photograph last week.
an amazing location. an amazing model. and lots of fun lighting techniques
when the snow began to fall, and we were fearing that our session might not happen, anna and i had a multi text back and forth trying to decide what the plan should be…..and neither one of us wanted to settle for skipping it, since we had so much fun last time! so, we persevered. airlines did not arrive, heat did not rise, but anna still managed to exude that quiet calm that comes from a place of great contentment, in a life she has worked very hard to recreate. she is one of those remarkable women who knew she was not paying attention to her inner voice a few years ago, and decided to grab the bull by the horns and settle for nothing less than repositioning her life GPS. anna has recently launched a website designed to help other women involved in the field of health care realize how important self care is, in order to be truly caring for others. i think it is a remarkable idea. in honor of this new venture, a few new snowy day photos ( indoors!) to celebrate!
elaine is one of those gems with that perfect british accent….the kind you could listen to all day long….AND….the things she says with that accent usually have me convulsing with laughter! what a bright spot in anyone’s day to encounter her. she is also a perfect photography subject, who instantly relaxes the moment i lift up the camera. i give to you, the lovely, elaine…
this is the second time that I have had the opportunity to photograph this lovely woman……..and each time, I sit here grinning from ear to ear while editing her images. it is that crazy, happy, joyful smile and those sparkly blue eyes, you just cannot help but find yourself smiling back at her! that is who she is as a person too. happy.
i might also add that she has fairly recently launched a fabulous business for helping folks learn to effectively navigate the waters of social networking, and reap benefits for your business as well. check out her blog, time rescuer
and for the record, i LOVED the snow series, em. great to see you again!
As we prepare to take a few quick images of this lovely artist, and my very dear friend, she gathers up a bunch of crayons and takes a giant sniff of them. Flashing her trademark brilliant white infectious smile she remarks…….”Mmmmm. Don’t you just love the smell of crayons?! That smell just brings back so many of my fondest childhood memories.” It is just that magical sense of wonderment, attention to the tiniest detail, and fascination with the world around her that make Heidi Geagan so incredibly adept at capturing the essence of a person in a painted portrait. And many times, these portraits contain lots more than paint. The aforementioned crayons find their way into these one of a kind creations.
I have been so excited to finally have images to post to accompany this fantastic announcement. Heidi is teaming up with me to offer one of a kind artistic interpretations of images from your photo session! She just completed this incredible mixed media work of my oldest daughter, painted entirely from a photo I took of her last summer.
Whether you are planning to have a portrait session in the future, or just have interest in having an image painted from a previous session, please email me for all of the details.
I’ve now known Debbie for just over two years. She first came to me to document the progression of her battle against cancer….specifically, she called me because she was about to begin losing her hair, and it was longer than it had ever been before, so she wanted to document it. We just connected in that first session, and became such great friends. I was lucky enough to follow her progress over the last two years, progress that has brought her to the bright, beautiful, healthy woman she is today. Through it all, she never lost that gorgeous smile, or positive spirit. What a blessing she is to all who meet her. Today, we spent the day capturing some new headshots for some exciting new ventures she has coming up. Debbie, I am just so lucky to call you my friend. Here are your images!
