We're Moving! (And We're Leaving the Internet Behind. Eek!)

I've got some good news!

(And then I've got some bad news...)



The Good, or Great! News:

Our family is moving into a new home this month!   This move has been in the works for several months now, and I'm so excited we're down to the final days.  Moving is a lot of work, especially when the kids think it's fun to unpack boxes that have already been filled, but it will all be worth it in the end when we are cozy and settled into our forever home.  We were so blessed to be able to purchase this home, many years before we thought we would be able, so we are taking all of the inconveniences in stride.

I must admit, I'm neglecting my photography a bit in favor of sitting on comfy couches and daydreaming about my new front porch.  Or trying to decide on paint colors for the kitchen (I still have NO clue!).  It's so much fun to think ahead about making this space something that belongs uniquely to us, and I'm looking forward to adding all the personal touches.  I've been pinning fun ideas on Pinterest for AGES.


See what I mean?  I am READY! 


But....

There's also Bad News. 

See, the fantastic house we bought?  It's out in the country.  Not WAY out in the country, but far enough out that we can see the stars with no problems.  And apparently, it's one of the last bastions of No-Internet-Land left in the entire lower 48 states. 

No internet!

Well, let me correct myself here.  Internet is available.  But it's the old dial up kind (remember that?!), and is likely to be unreliable.

Sadly, that means I won't be online as much to update the blog, my Facebook page, or my website with fabulous photos of all my clients.  I won't lie - I'm kind of scared of what this drop in exposure and online marketing will do to my tiny little business, but I do hope all of my clients and readers can be patient!

Because I WILL be back online.  There's no way in the universe I could give it up altogether. 

But oh, my goodness, will I miss Pinterest in the meantime!

Session Premiere Slideshow Preview | Ashton, WV Photographer

Today, I want to share something special with you all.

Last week, I blogged about my brand new baby nephew.  This week I was able to wrap up his newborn session, and was able to implement - for the first time! - a brand new feature of the Heather Harris Photography experience.

Part of your personalized Session Premiere experience with Heather Harris Photography includes a custom designed, one of a kind slideshow featuring your session images.  I am so, so excited to be offering this service to my clients!  The design and premiere of the slideshow on your home television is included in every Session Premiere, and slideshows are available for purchase on DVD, either as part of a Premiere Night Collection, or a la carte!

Want to see what the fuss is all about?  Let me introduce you to baby Gavin all over again:





As a new aunt, I know I'm biased, but isn't that the most precious thing ever?

I want every one of my clients to have this special keepsake for themselves, and to LOVE everything the new Heather Harris Photography portrait experience has to offer.  Doesn't that sound fabulous?  I sure think so!

Gavin Blake | Ashton, WV Newborn Photographer



My little brother became a dad for the very first time on May 26th, and I am so happy and so honored that he let me have the privilege of photographing his tiny son's first portraits.

I'm so proud to introduce you all to my brand new nephew.

Welcome to the world, Gavin Blake!  We're so happy to have you here with us!
