My Latest Office Addition!

Not that Framing is dead, but I saw this and needed to get one. Okay, I got two. But for now, I am going to show you the one that I mounted in my office.

The are called "standalone mounts" and I love them! It offers such a great style and I love how it finishes off the wall.

They are super lightweight and come ready to mount on a wall. All you need in a nail. So easy, yes, even I could do it. This contains one of my favorite shots from a Wedding I did in June.

Olivia and Jason (Caesar too) = Engaged!

I can't help it, I love dogs. When Olivia called me to set up the Engagement Shoot and asked if bringing their dog Caesar was a problem, I laughed. I mean, like a real laugh. I was so excited!

But, nothing could prepare you for the pup's cuteness. He was awesome. I loved how Jason kept describing him as looking so "regal". What struck me was that this was not always "Jason's dog". Olivia rescued Caesar and they were a package deal. Well, if Caesar did not like you, there must be something seriously wrong with you. To see the three of them together, they all fit.

The best part, was that Caesar did the proposing. Jason and Caesar worked on this proposal process, carrying the ring box back and forth and back and forth for a full week. Quite frankly, I think Caesar was quite stressed carrying a ring box around, at least for when he needed to rehearse. What if he dropped it and it went into a grate? He can't just go looking on the streets and become gainfully employed. He needed to pull this off for Jason. He knew that Jason made Olivia happy.

He makes her laugh too.

I think Caesar made a good judgement call on Jason. Also, in my opinion, Olivia made a good call too.

That's My Boy!

It still amazes me everyday that he is now three. How did that happen? Where did the time go. One day he's a sweet, teeny baby, bald as a cue ball, I am scared that he is going to roll over and get smothered in his crib. Now I can't catch up with him when he is running all over the playground. Uh, and I also can't get him to take a nap.

You have to admit, being chased around by your mother with a camera can't be much fun. I guess I would run. I would fear that she would "shoot me" in my sleep.

He's cute, He's Tortured, but even with his eyes closed, he's adorable.

New Logo, New Blog, New Look

It's all new and it's all good. In fact, change is good, right? I needed to break away from the look of this blog, for those that have seen it before, and shake it up a bit. The logo, I love and selecting it was a labor of love.

I shocked myself with the pink! I never pictured myself with a pink logo or having flowers at all. Something about this font, with the rustic feel, is kinda cool which it breaks from an over flowery feel. Also, while it isn't heather, the flowers sprouting out, reminded me of wild heather. Which, I think may describe me, or is it weird Heather? Oh well.

Either way, new look aside, I am the same Heather. Still love to read, love me some good TV (sorry reality folks, unless it is Design Star or Shear Genius), I love hair and shoes, icing is my favorite kind of food (sorry to all you dentists out there), I love wet kisses from my dog, I love kissing my son and my husband is my best friend.

Photo Shoots!

I know it is hotter and more humid than the Louisiana bayou, but before you know it kids will be heading to school, leaves will be changing...blah, blah, blah. Well, enjoy the beauty of the Fall Leaves in Valley Forge Park (or location of your choice) and book your family for the Heather O'Mara Photography Family Shoot!

Just think, use the shots for that dreaded Christmas Card picture.

Backpack, Backpack

While deciding which camera bag to bring to the shoot today, I caught myself singing a song from Dora the Explorer. "Backpack, Backpack, load it with the camera body, cleaners, lenses too!" Good Lord, no more AM Nick Jr for my son.... I so need Matt Lauer and Meridith Viera back in my life.

Brian and Missy = Engaged

Brian and Missy have been so fun to get to know. Ironically this shoot was in the heat of summer, when their Wedding will be on New Year's Eve. What an awesome way to start a new year and new chapter in your lives!

I can just tell how great they are together. New Year's Eve aside, I think this Wedding is going to be a blast.
