Heather Meyers Photography bio picture

Welcome

Shalom! I'm Heather and welcome the home of Heather Meyers Photography, where you'll need to check back often for sneak peeks from recents shoots or updates on our latest travels! Please take a look through past posts or jump to a category of interest for galleries and adventures.

I'm a 25 year old visual artist based out of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania who's striving to push the edge of creative lifestyle photography, eager to find the next "wow" image through casual candid capture. The Lord has been so good to bless my endeavors with many opportunities to travel abroad, so I take that same love for adventure and discovery into every shoot, ensuring that the images that result are a story of a unique person(s), right here, right now. But it doesn't matter if I'm in Rome, Paris, London, Jerusalem, or Chambersburg, the inspiration abounds with the subject at hand, just waiting for a creative soul to capture it. My style is a mixture of fine art, photojournalism, and lifestyle photography which makes for contemporary portraiture that makes each image a work of art.

Please note that I only book a limited number of shoots per month, so please inquire early for availability. If you have any questions or want all the info and pricing please don't hesitate to shoot me an email! I'd love to chat with you.

Many Blessings,

Heather

Apologies for blog neglect, but I at least wanted to give you all a heads up on what’s been keeping me so occupied.

Heather Meyers Photography is currently undergoing a complete rebranding rehaul. So much about me and my business has changed and grown in the past several years that I am yearning for my professional ‘face’ to reflect it! Why have I waited til now? Well, I’m mainly a right-brained person, so the abundance of inspiration and enthusiasm has been waiting for my left-brain to catch up and organize all of it! ;o)

So things to keep an eye out for include but limited to in the next several months are: a brand-spankin new blog (EEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!), a tweaked/sleeked/personalized branding, 2 more websites (one for my contemporary portraits portfolio as one for….well, you’ll just have to wait!)

Now time grab another cup of coffee and strap on the jets so I can hit this to-do list before Asher gets up from his nap!

Yes, obviously, this shoot didn’t make it to the blog very promptly, but I’m enjoying looking through them this frigid day and thinking of the warm sun on my back……

{Life} Storytime With Daddy

January 7, 2010 – 4:03 pm

I thought my first post of the new year should include the most special people in my life ;o)

Asher just loves reading books, so again I was propelled to grab my camera as he and Daddy got cuddly on a cold snowy evening to dive into some good reading and gibbering ;o)

All done! 

Melt.

These guys are gonna be best buds for a loooooonnnggg time ;o)

As a photographer the photo quality of this one is way on the sub-par level, but as a momma it’s perfect and priceless ;o)

Keepin it Real - Cuddly Asher

December 24, 2009 – 4:15 am

As I sift through the loads of recent shoots I need to blog, I pulled out some impromptu images I took yesterday.

I love cuddling with Ash in the morning when we both wake up - so I figured where we snuggle is a good place to take take some pics. ;o)

His eyes are still blue…….maybe he’ll keep em!

Something about this next image just melts my heart……..These still moments are a rare occurrence - out of sheer need he must take 20seconds of inactivity to recharge several times a day ;o)Aaaannnddd he’s off againI often marvel at his darling long, dark eyelashes…….Decided to take a few with the timer - not bad focusing considering I was working with an aperture of 2.2! ;o)and then daddy came home, so we had to grad a few of the boys…the ‘head bump’ is currently the new favorite game with Daddy….Giving kisses or eating Mamma? I’m often not sure…..

Just as Asher is “soooooo” big, I love him soooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

Well, the busy season is finally starting to wind down a little (whew!!!!) as I’m wrapping up editing and orders. But I have a lot of shoots to blog, so I’ll start with the images from the shoot swap we had with Lauri of Lalee Photography and her hubby Mikey.

Family at Thanksgiving….

November 30, 2009 – 3:18 am

Though I’d share some family photos we were able to snag around Thanksgiving….

Here are the Picards - my clan which hasn’t had a family photo since Josiah was a baby. It may have been like pulling a few teeth, but we did manage to get all of us in one place for at least a couple minutes to get a few photos. And it might have been dark and starting to rain, but we worked with what we had!

And no risers are need for this photo - we have just the right amount of average size guys, plus some really tall ones, plus a row of short woman, rounded out with a couple of munchkins! hahaha ;o)

In the photo: My parents Greg and Kathy, Josh {22}, Jacob {18}, Isaiah {16}, Abigail {14}, and Josiah {8}. Plus Jacob and I and little Asher ;o)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next photo is of Jacob’s Family. There’s nothing like running to and fro from a timer a number of times, but we managed to get one that was pretty good, even though Ash looks like he is wanting to escape ;o)

In this photo are Jacob’s parents Larry and Grace, His brother Justin and his wife Elaine, his sisters Jesalynn, Joella, and Joy, and his brother Judah.

I can’t believe the year is nearing its end - so much to do! So I better hop to it ;o)

{Portraits} Isaiah is 16 Preview | Chambersburg Portrait Photographer

November 29, 2009 – 4:01 am

Had a chance to shoot a few of my brother Isaiah the other day. Although I didn’t get a chance to do his pictures back in August when he actually turned 16, he’s still 16 so it still counts ;o)

Lots of great images to go through……can’t wait til I can work on the rest!

While I’m Editing, Asher is growin…..

November 21, 2009 – 5:29 am

This has been a really crazy past couple of months.

Currently, I’m insanely busy with lots of fabulous shoots and seemingly endless computer time.

But as I sit in my nook, frantically editing the other day, I looked up to see this:

I grabbed my camera beside me to capture it. My little 7mon old boy is tearing around the house lately, exploring and causing me great worry every time he goes out of sight. But at this moment, I stopped and just drank the scene in - he’s so little but yet growing up so fast. I wanted to freeze my little man in time, because even though I’m busy, he’s still growing up. If I choose to be occupied and frantic all the time, I’m going to miss it.

So every time I go and think about grumbling about all the valuable editing time I’m losing every time I have to hunt him down or pry foreign debris out of his mouth, I remember that this is worth cherishing and every moment I have the privilege of caring for him is a gift.

In just a couple weeks Asher has gone from belly scooting to mastering hand/knee crawling to scaling all reachable tables and chairs to climbing up stairs.

I’m amazed at how quickly he learns…..

This is my man standing by my side as I try to edit. My little lizard man that is - the tongue is a recent fascination. ;o)

Every ounce of his being is packed with personality - wouldn’t have it any other way! ;o)

{Class of 2010} Jake, part 1 | Chambersburg Senior Photographer

November 10, 2009 – 3:19 pm

It’s not too often that you get to shoot your brother…..and have creative say in outfits and locations!  I had been looking forward to doing Jacob’s photos and gettin knee deep in some gritty masculine artsy musical vibe inspiration while traipsing around an old paper mill. ;o)

I went overboard in editing images, but there are just so many rockin photos! So many that I don’t have enough to post them all now - I’ll have to break them down into other posts.

Thanks for being such a great sport by indulging your crazy photographer sister, Jacob. ;o)

Sniff Sniff - I can’t believe another little brother is all grown up……and it seems like not that long ago that I was changing your diapers…..ok that was weird ;o) haha ( I did say “crazy” photog sis, so the disclaimer was already made!)

{Shoot Swap} Mikey and Lauri Sneak Peek | Chambersburg Portrait Photographer

October 27, 2009 – 3:15 pm

This past Sunday Jacob, Asher, and I met up with the amazing Lauri of Lalee Photography for a shoot swap! Lauri and her husband Mikey were real troopers and traveled all the way down from the Bethlehem, PA area for the day.

This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this, and there’s a serious amount of pressure in shooting a fellow photog! Especially a reeeeeaaaalllly talented one! ;o) But Lauri is such a sweetheart, and it didn’t take us long to get comfortable with one another, and 5 hours of modeling/shooting ensued!!!

See Lauri’s photos of us HERE! (I’m so beyond tickled with the ones she’s posted so far!!!)

So here’s a few of the adorable love birds Lauri and Mikey, married only a year ;o)

Lauri is an exceptional wedding photographer so make sure you check out her website and look her up if you are gettin married in the Bethlehem or Philadelphia area (or anywhere else for that matter - I hear she likes to travel!) ;o)
