I first met Heather earlier this year when photographing the Hamot Health Foundation Gala. She’s a super-sweet event planner based in Erie, Pennsylvania with a flair for fabulously creative themes and fantastic details.
Earlier this month, she set up a session at Frontier Park near Lake Erie to document her family playing and having fun together. Heather, her husband and her two boys climbed trees, skipped rocks, fooled around at the playground and shared plenty of laughs and hugs.
It was a hot and sticky evening, but we had a blast.





















love the location and the unobtrusive way you captured them.
these are the kind of family photos I love. well done!
Beautiful family! Great work.
this family set is awesome, love the poses and the use of nature to bring them together..
this is awesome!! what a great way to capture a family in pictures
I like this because it looks like you let them just be themselves.
ha! that’s a brilliant “grumpy kid” shot in the middle of the set
The three boys on the fence is my favorite of the images! Lovely!
Fun family portraits! I dig. I love that last wall, hope it ends up on their wall.. and huge!
