Welcome To Jamie Heyl Photography!

"For every step of your life"

People often ask me what my favorite type of photography is and I answer differently at different times, depending on what I am doing or working on. I love taking photos, of every kind ... well, not landscape or pet photos, but always "people" photos.

It is often said in the photography world that you can not specialize in everything, and I believe that. Not every photographer can be the best at every type of photography - I know I have plenty to learn about lots of different things. I am always learning and growing. But I can LOVE every type of photography which is why the tag line of my business is "for every step of your life."

I love to watch my clients and their families grow. To photograph a couple from their engagement through their wedding and then the birth of their first child is an amazing experience. Then to watch that child grow through their first years, graduate from high school and start the cycle over is awe-inspiring. I haven't quite been in business long enough for that, but I have had the privelige of photographing the weddings of some of my Senior clients!

So whether you are just beginning to build your family or your family is growing up and moving on, I would be honored to be a part of that. To photograph the love between you and your partner grow into a tiny family and then follow that family through the college years and beyond - its the part of my job that I will always love the most. So thank you for considering me to photograph every step of your life.

Wedding Catch Up

Posted on December 23, 2009

I wanted to take a minute to post some sneak peeks for my patient brides from the last month I’ve shot 3 weddings in that time but also got slammed with holiday sessions, so I haven’t been able to get to the weddings just yet. I know how it feels to patiently wait for photos, so I thought I’d post a few quick edits of a some that jumped out at me from each wedding. I hope you girls enjoy and I promise I’ll get your finished galleries up as soon as I can!

I was asked to take tons of photos of the cake, can you see why? So beautiful!

Our mutual friend, Dana, made her wedding cake. It was beautiful AND delicious with a pecan praline filling, yum!

I love this shot. Remember when I posted a while ago about the times for taking photos? Well, Jennifer and Daniel read that and decided to see each other before the ceremony. Jennifer had her dad stand with her so he essentially gave her away before the ceremony. This is Daniel walking up to her, she hadn’t seen him yet. I love the expression on his face and when they finally saw each other, it was very emotional and touching. One of my favorite wedding moments, by far

Seeing each other before also gave us plenty of relaxed time to take some photos of them together, which isn’t something I always get to do or have a lot of time for once the event begins.
