This isn’t just another year. It’s THE year. The one you’ve both been building toward since the first day of kindergarten- full of late night homework, school plays, game days and growing pains. Senior year is a once in a lifetime milestone, and it deserves more than a forgotten folder of digital files buried on your hard drive.

The truth is, the next time your child will be photographed with this much love and intention might be on their wedding day. That’s how special this moment is.

This may be one of the last professional portraits you’ll hang in your home of them as your kid-before they become adults with lives of their own. This is the time to honor who they’ve become and how far they’ve come.

At Heidi Peterson Photography, we don’t just hand you a gallery of images. We create timeless art you can hold, display and pass down. Every canvas, every album page is crafted with care by our professional lab, ensuring quality that will last for generations.

Because technology changes. Phones get upgraded. Social media forgets. But when you walk past that portrait on your wall- when your hand brushes the cover of that album- you’ll be transported back to this incredible chapter. You’ll feel the pride, the tears, the laughter… and the love.

Let us help you freeze this moment in time- beautifully, meaningfully and forever.

This beauty has been in front of my camera from about the time she was 4 or 5. She has grown into such a beautiful and kind soul. I’m so thankful her mom and her told me about a year ago that I HAD to take her senior pictures. After all these years, she was the most comfortable with me and it only seemed fitting.

I know this picture takes mom back to the hours spent at dance class, the outfits and makeup, the competitions and hotel rooms. And it was all 💯 worth it.

It’s Monday. The weather is warming up (even if it’s not permanent) and I’m starting to fill my calendar with spring senior sessions. It’s not too late if this year has rushed by and now you’re staring down the finish line and wanting to get some fresh pictures for your grad announcements.

I had a vision in my head. A simple stripped down picture of my kids, against a plain wall. I wanted the focus to be on how they’re changing and how we are all very much in between stages right now.

Sometimes, I ask the kids to do something for me. And they do it. And I’m eternally grateful and one day, they will be too. I will use this picture as a passport back to the snow day we took a few minutes to freshen up, smile nicely and get a “good” picture I can hang on the wall. Where the oldest was in high school, bugging us about driving, Beau was losing his “kid” face and Piper was in full blown beauty mode but with all the teenage angst an 11 year old can muster.

Mind you, I have the pictures I threatened to print/post where they were acting up or giving silly faces or ready to strangle each other. Maybe soon, I’ll share the “outtakes”. 😉

How I feel about the fresh round of snow. 😆
It’s really not that bad and it is January in Illinois… 🤷🏻‍♀️

But I’m ready for summer weather. My “dogs” out in some slip on shoes, one layer of clothes and ridiculous amounts of sunshine to make me smile. And every thing green.

The fun part of this picture to me is all the stuff that tells it was the mid to late 1980’s. Tell me what you see in the comments. 😉
The WCW from yesterday (my mom), took this picture when I was about 6 or 7. She is the OG shutterbug of the family. It is because of her we have so many memories to look at. Shelves of albums. We weren’t rich but she made sure to have enough to have that roll developed and prints easily available for us to look at.

Women on Wednesday: This is my momma. She is the best woman I know. Her heart belongs to God and she raised my brothers and I to seek Him first. Worship Him though acts of service. Love him by loving others. I am forever grateful for the endless prayers she prayed over us and the countless ways she poured into us.
I will be highlighting the beautiful females in my life who inspire me, support and encourage me. I invite you to donate same in the comments. Tag them and I will send each of you a treat.

The coffee house post winner will be announced tonight!

Tuesday introductions: my husband, Adam. He’s a true outdoors man in just about every sense of the word. He hunts whatever is covered in feathers or fur, he fishes whatever body of water is close and he’ll float/paddle most flowing waterways.
He has played a ton of sports growing up, umpired softball/baseball though his heart belongs to hockey.
He is loyal, hardworking and always ready for a good time.
He has taught me so much about all the above as well as setting boundaries and standing up for myself and my family.

Are you a coffee/latte drinker?

I wasn’t until my 20’s when Starbucks came around my very rural area. My caffeine intake is usually a Pepsi or Cherry Coke, though I’m trying to limit how much I’m having these days though!

Tell me your drink of choice for a chance to win a gift card.
