Since I woke up WAY too early this morning, I can't speak properly, or pronounce things like "pronounce" correctly. My vocal grammar has been atrocious and I finally decided I need to stop trying to talk and retire to my room where I can instead do precisely the things that are causing my brain-damage;<br /><br />*<em>watch Prison Break one episode after another</em> - I've just completed Season 1 and am a few episodes into Season 2. That show is the current love of my life and consumes much of my evening-time.<br />*<em>drink Diet Dr Pepper</em> - the substance allowing me to maintain my current schedule, including all that caffeine and aspartame that is no doubt contributing to my word-vomit.<br />*<em>Average 4 hours of sleep per nigh</em>t - when the Prison Break goes off and the house shuts down, I lay awake tearing into my newest novel. I can't help it - it's gooooood, and just a <em>tad</em> trashy.<br /><br />So, I blog this with the intention of watching a few more episodes as I chug away on my half-poison soda addiction, followed by several more chapters of my book, under the covers with a flashlight.<br /><br />As I head off to continue my unhealthy routine (at least until I finish Season 3) - I will leave you with a new self-portrait. What fun is a post without a picture and maybe a quote?<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;"><strong><em>“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot.

This past long weekend we headed down to Southern Idaho to visit some of my husbands sweet family, a few friends, and my cousin Brooke, who holds a little piece of my soul. We grew up taking semi-anual trips to each others houses where we'd spend holidays, and school breaks getting into minor amounts of trouble, and having massive amounts of fun (we even have matching foot-tat's to prove it.) Brooke, along with her incredible siblings are as dear to me as my immediate family is. I love these people with all of my heart and soul! So, it was a HUGE pleasure to spend the day with them, and photograph her cute family.<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0295.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0026.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0056.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0366.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0190.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/4.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0594BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0482.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0275.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0208BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0109.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0241.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0121ChocolateBW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0639.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-84090139695734456512009-02-19T00:07:00.000-08:002009-02-19T00:15:40.746-08:00I've Been Away...."Some roads aren't meant to be travelled alone."<br />~Proverb Quote<br /><a class="sqa" href="http://thinkexist.com/quotes/proverb/"></a><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/0003.jpg" /><br /><br />Yes, I've been out of town. I took a little "road trip." I haven't meant to neglect my blog....but between travelling, shooting, visiting, and so on....I guess I did. I went to Idaho for a few days to visit some family, friends, and to do some sessions. It was a fabulous little trip! Anyway...I'll post as soon as I can. I have a busy week and weekend ahead of me. But until then...here is a little peek at what is to come....<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/1-2.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-28344530154322639342009-02-13T12:19:00.000-08:002009-02-14T21:48:56.251-08:00Nothing Sweeter...than a Free Session for Valentine's Day"Love is a choice you make from moment to moment."<br />~Ambrose Bierce<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7669Shjare.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />The entries are in, the judges have spoken. I was both overwhelmed and flattered by the number of entries to our little <a href="http://heatherwardphotography.blogspot.com/2009/01/valentines-day-contest.html">Valentine's Day Contest</a>, and let me tell you that choosing a winner was NOT easy!! Knowing the choice would be difficult, I gathered a panel of 6 judges and showed them each entry individually. Each person then voted, and the contest entry with the highest number of votes was chosen. Only - there was a catch - we had a tie! So - we re-read the entries to try and choose which entry should win...but we couldn't come to a unanimous decision....so we have no choice but award TWO first place winners. That's right people, two couples will be winning a free session at the location of their choice. So, without further adieu......(drum roll please...)<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>The Winners Are.........</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,204,255)">Bryn Seitz & her hubby Philip, AND Sara Pellan & her fiance Evan<br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">The winning entries were:<br /><br />Brynn's 365 Days of Love; 365 reasons she loves her husband are placed in a glass jar. Every day he gets to open and read a reason she loves him! How romantic and creative is that? Her gift lasts ALL year long!<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Sara's Surprise Proposal; Her (now) fiance re-enacted their entire first date, which finished at their special, romantic spot that overlooks the city where he dropped to one knee and surprised her with a romantic proposal.

Often it's a combination of a child's personality and a charming smile, or a couple's passion and amazing connection, and in this case; innocence, sweetness and some seriously amazing eyes. Even though I loved all of the images from this session, I think my faves are from the downtime when the little ones were being bribed with hot chocolate & marshmallows. :)<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7155-1.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_6928.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7081.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7211Vintage.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7317WhiteBack.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7191BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/Coupled.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7377BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7516.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_7488.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-34008810700818319162009-02-10T10:58:00.001-08:002009-04-25T16:02:54.625-07:00The Punch Pack - ActionsYes, I'm on an action kick this week so I thought I'd post a new set of my favorites.

Here are some of my favorites from their session.<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P275.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P396-1.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P576.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P027.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P125.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P221.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P337.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P650.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P548BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P635.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P659.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-29514040386252703262009-02-02T00:01:00.001-08:002009-02-02T00:05:49.211-08:00Canadian RockiesI know it's been a couple of days since I last posted. I've got some adorable photos from a Saturday session almost ready to share, but it's too late and I'm too wiped. So stay tuned tomorrow. Until then, here is one photo I took today as I drove home from BC. While I have been very open about missing the Ocean and the great photo opps it provides me....I have to admit that the majestic Rockies are helping to fill the void. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/Share1-6.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-11948528764578769942009-01-31T00:16:00.001-08:002009-01-31T00:19:56.012-08:00Fine Art Prints....FinallyAt last I have finished adding the "Fine Art Gallery" to my <a href="http://www.heatherwardphotography.com/"><span style="color:#ff99ff;">website.</span></a> I hope you like my addition and that it gives you a little extra eye candy to spy on. I'm sure I'll be adding to it frequently in the coming seasons.<br /><br />For those of you who are interested, prints and canvases can be purchased directly through the site. I'm eagerly awaiting a couple of canvases for myself of my favorite Portland landscapes. I can hardly wait to see them in person....<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/BLOGADVERT.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-29270728331949356902009-01-30T13:36:00.000-08:002009-01-30T13:46:30.998-08:00Colorado Baby / Calgary Children's PhotographerThis cute little man is visiting from out of town and was a really good sport today despite some serious wind. The temp is warm(ish), but it doesn't feel like it when you are being blown and whipped around. Needless to say, I am counting the days until it's warm and pleasant ALL the time. :) Anyway...I'm sure Mr. L is no stranger to chilly temps where he's from, but he was sure a good little guy today and I'm so glad I got to meet him!<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P127.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P148.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P004-2.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P011.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P135BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P150.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P176-1.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P165.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P199.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P213.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-18222230764848869392009-01-30T11:23:00.000-08:002009-01-30T13:36:48.536-08:00BFF Maternity / Calgary Maternity PhotographerThere is something about pregnant woman that I find completely adorable. Maybe it's their perfect round bellies, the gentle glow that finds them while they are expecting, the sweet smile the crawls across their faces whenever their little one moves....or the fact that every single one of them looks much more comfortable than I did when I was pregnant. :) Whatever it is, I love it, it draws me in and makes me smile. This session with my dear friend was no different; glow, baby-belly, lot's of smiles and some great chit-chat. It was such a privelledge to do these photos! And can you believe...she only has a few short weeks left? I can't wait to meet the little man that has set up shop in her little belly!<img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P087Honey.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P101BW.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P232cHoney.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P194.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P262.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P271Honey.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P168BW.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/P135Honey.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-52799393807441704432009-01-29T22:46:00.000-08:002009-01-29T22:48:15.886-08:00New Mexico Sessions PlannedCalling all Albuquerque residents.

I love bright, vibrant color - it makes me happy! I had so many great spots in Portland, that I was worried after moving back to Calgary that I wouldn't find any funky walls, or brightly painted ally-ways. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this new location while hunting for a spot to shoot this week. I think it was a fabulous find, and I'm super excited to use it again in the future because the backside of this building (yes it was all one building) had a whole-'nother series of colors that can be used when the light is just right.<br />Yey for me!<br />Special thanks to my cute little models! :)<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_4962.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_4952.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_5018.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/IMG_4989.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-17972306666424693302009-01-25T19:40:00.000-08:002009-01-25T19:46:14.491-08:00Tubby DogMy little brother and his girlfriend just introduced us to a little place near downtown called "Tubby Dog." I have to admit I was skeptical at first about a $7 hotdog with PB&J and Cap'n Crunch on it....but, I stand corrected and must admit that it was delicious!<br />Here are a few of the treats the 4 of us tried this weekend.<br />From the top:<br />Yam fries with a yummy spicey dip<br />PB&J with French Toast Crunch Cereal<br />The A-Bomb: cheese, a mysterious sauce, and crunched up Ketchup Chips<br />Tubby Dog: Chilly, Cheese, Onions.<br /><br />If you live in Calgary and haven't been there yet...go...run....get one!<br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/lollydohbird/Untitled-4-1.jpg" />Heather Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13850276470281933664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785432402278283694.post-48023140236534002752009-01-24T14:17:00.000-08:002009-01-24T14:26:27.506-08:00Just One / Calgary Baby PhotographerBaby Legs are my new obsession.
