Waking up admidst bliss and chaos..
That's the world us moms and dads wake to- bliss and chaos. Bliss because these amazing humans are ours to have. Chaos because well....you know... ;)
They started the day piled in bed. If you don't know....that's what happens when you are a parent. No longer are you awoken by an alarm at a time you planned. Nope, you have built-in unpredictable roosters now!
They pile in bed, giggling so loudly in a room that was deliciously silent 5 seconds before. Sometimes though your grumpy grogginess you force yourself to remember painfully soon, it won't be like this. So, right now, the moment you will dream of 50 years from now is here. Right now. It is lovely, filling when you choose to be present. Their cold morning feet press on your legs, and their little faces so close you can feel their eyelashes brush against your cheek.
And some of those mornings you meet the eyes of your spouse with a look that says...these are the days. These are the mornings we will talk about.
**Home Sweet Home Sessions are 2 hours where we document your favorite parts of family life, as it is.
Fun activities and most importantly small moments.

The White Way of Delight
If you don't get the title, then you are seriously missing a crutial movie in your life. This orchard is sooooo pretty and rememinds me of Anne Shirley riding in the wagon with Matthew Cuthbert when she names the Orchard "The White Way of Delight.
This session took place right after most of the blooms had gone in most of the orchard...but then you get these amazing blooms on the taller trees! There really there isn't a bad time to take pictures at this amazing place.
The Nash Family went to the same church as my husband and I during the fist few years we were married. (like 10 or so years ago) I remember the first Sunday they came to church....We lived in an area that didn't have alot of young couples, so when we saw the Nashes, we had a couple crush on them! They were fresh victims for us to force into friendship...haha is that soo creepy? (yes, yes it is) Alas, they didn't live there long, so our hearts were broken.
I was so happy when Karyn contacted me 10 years later to do this shoot! In fact, we are doing another shoot with them later this year and I am sooooo excited! I have 2 more spots left for session at this pretty orchard. Text me to get on the schedule!
Adventure Sessions
Fist of all- This is the first session I am introducing as being shot as a team by my sister Laura Fafard and I! Laura is a fantastic photographer and is going to begin shooting her own sessions for Brianne Heiner Photgraphy in a few months. I am so excited for this! I know she will bring an inspiring passion to capture emotion, movement, and joy in her sessions.
My favorite thing to photograph is my children exploring! I don't know about your kids....but if you put my kids in a field they will have a hay day! Picking flowers, finding bugs, pretending the shelter of trees is an enchanted tent...
Big changes are happening with my business. I want to focus more on photography with depth and emotion. I want to photograph things that matter. Remembering your children playing matters. Recalling their free spirits and rich imaginations matter.
The pictures below are only very lightly directed. They led the way and we followed.
ADVENTURE SESSIONS- introductory price- $350 plus tax (Can be done with just children or include parents as well)
Gracie + Zack engagements
I'm so excited for these two and their wedding coming up! It is for sure going to be the perfect country affair. I love that they both came dressed up in ways that showed who they are. Their styles went together flawlessly! At the end of the shoot it started POURING on us! So, of course we got some romantic kissing in the rain shots! And also......Um....red hair!? My husband doesn't have red hair, but he has 2 brothers that do. I was HOPING AND PRAYING that at least one of my children would end up with red hair.....alas..... maybe I should try to dye my hair red? I've done it before and it looked pretty dope. haha....I just said dope...... Hair and make-up by @taliawhatcottmua
Rachel and Eric Engagements
Want to know how to have perfect engagements!? Be like these guys -RELAX AND HAVE FUN! There are other things you can do as well of course, but this is the most important factor! They were so great at just being together, trusting me, and playing! My favorite kind of session. When you let your guard down, your shoot will really show who you are as a couple. And these 2 are bubbly, playful....and obviously soul mates.
