Sweet little 2 week old babe from todays session.   I needed a baby fix–it has been too long.  Enjoy your pictures–and Mom, I PROMISE  2, 10, 20 years from now, you will love having pictures with you in them!

I have been getting my baby fix lately and I love it!!  Look at this face!

Remember me??  I am back–after taking a few weeks off to regroup and get energized for a very exciting 2010!  I can’t wait to share lots of new changes that you will be seeing soon on my website and here on my blog!  Today was spent with this beautiful 10 year old!  I am sure her Mom has been checking my blog every hour to see if these pics are up yet–so I will get right to it!

I wanted to wish everyone a very special Merry Christmas!  I am so grateful for you all, for allowing me into your homes and sharing your children with me.  It has been a wonderful year, and I look forward to everything 2010 will bring.  I can’t express to you enough, how much it means to be able to do what I love to do everyday of my life.  It makes me a better mom, wife, and friend, and for that I am thankful.

I am also excited to share the Giving is Awesome winner!  As soon as I am able to contact the family, I will share with you all.

I thought I would share a few pictures from this morning at my house–I think it was over in 3 minutes, but it was fun while it lasted!

A remote controlled tarantula-he was too scared to take it out of the box

Who knew the whoopee cushion would be the favorite gift!

Luckily, Santa brought two!

I am so excited to share this with you again!  Last year I joined hundreds of photographers all over the country to share my talent with a very special family (see their picture below)!  Read below and get nominating!!

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $1000 worth, to be exact. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a CD with all of their images, it’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $500 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in St. Louis, Missouri.  Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

*Photography session must occur before September 1, 2010.

* You must e-mail me the full story : heidi@heididrexlerphotography.com

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Heidi

This is the beautiful family that was nominated last year.
