Welcome!

Thank you for coming to my blog and website! It means a lot to me. The world of blogging has become a part of my every day life and I love it. You will see everything on my blog...some of my recent photo shoots, some of what's going on in my world and some of what's happening in other peoples lives. It is a true reflection of me well, minus the spelling mistakes.

I started blogging a couple of years ago thinking it would be a great way to give my clients instant gratification. (who doesn't want to see their pictures ASAP after a shoot?) I never expected it to get as personal as it has...life took a turn and right after I started blogging one of my friends got pregnant with Sextuplets and I walked through the pregancy, birth, loss and triumph with their family...my blog became a place to share and meet friends! I've never turned back.

Of course, when people are getting to know me my name is a big topic. It is actually pronounced "No-Amy" (and yes, I've heard every joke running through your head right now!) Here's the story: I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and my parents were trying to be nice to me by naming me a Spanish name but then changed their plans and moved back to Canada 16 months later. I've had to explain my name ever since. It's me and I wouldn't change it for anything but, I am sorry for the inconvience...it's worth it though!

I'm passionate about a lot of things but I have to say there's nothing like weddings. Have fun going through the galleries and slideshows on the blog. I hope it inspires you to call me, or pick up your camera and start shooting.

These are a few of my favorite things:

I love my husband Matt. My soulmate and perfect match. I was made for loving him.

Taking the perfect shot and showing it...seeing the person light up melts my heart every time.

I love my little girl Adriah. There's no one in the world like her. She inspires me to be kind.

I love to sing and sing loud! I'm a front row girl so i can belt it out and no one cares!

I love my little boy Leyton. I could into those eyes forever. Just thinking of him puts a smile on my face.

I love Musicals and I'm not ashamed to admit the I own quite a few!

I love the Starbucks drink "London Fog." If you haven't tried it yet...now is the time.

I love my family...there's nothing like family.

I love jeans the fit.

I love friends that are family!

I love spicy food and traveling anymore to try it!

My mom and step-dad just arrived to soak up some time w little Clara...so nice to bring in new recruits! 19 hrs ago

New Arrival(s) :) and Contest Results!

I am happy to announce the arrival of my perfect little girl:

CLARA ISABEL HEDRICK

Her name means: Brilliant; Shining Light; Consecrated to God!

Born: Feb 3rd, 2010

Time: 2:22am

Weight: 6lbs and 9 oz

Length: 20 inches

Isn’t she beautiful!?

And with every family of five comes a….Minivan! So, yesterday we bought a Honda Odyssey and it’s beautiful – really, it’s BEAUTIFUL! Probably the prettiest car I’ve ever seen…I know some of you are laughing right now but, I told Matt that he bought me my dream car and I meant it! There’s something really amazing about joining the ranks of “BIG” families and having the freedom to bring extra kids along anytime we want! For those of you who don’t have a van you can keep laughing at me…I don’t mind!

I also wanted to announce the WINNER OF THE “GUESS HER BIRTH-DATE” Contest…actually there are two!

Vicki Willcock AND Yvette Edwards

One thing I didn’t think through was what will happen when two people gets certain portions of the questions right and I guess the answer is they tie!

Here’s what they guessed:

Vicki – Tuesday, February 2nd, 6 lbs 8oz. and 19 inches.

Yvette: I am going to say Tuesday Feb 2 at around 10pm and I think she will be 7lbs 2 oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

They tied on the date, Vicki won for weight, and Yvette won for length…so, I’m going to bite the bullet and award them both a $15 Itunes Gift Card! A special thank you to everyone else who played!

I’m home and overwhelmed with joy! Feeling great even though I know I won’t be getting a lot of sleep of the coming months. There is grace and I will need it!

Seriously…kids don’t get any cuter then mine!

We’re going to a kids concert (The Monkey Dance CD Release PARTY!) on Saturday at the Cedar (assuming I’m not in labor) in Minneapolis, MN. Adriah and I had fun recording this video! She made up all the moves and when she watched it play back she told me her favorite part was her silly faces! You can hear Leyton (almost 2 years old) in the background watching Adriah and yelling, “Ooo Ooo, Monkey!” So cute!

Being a middle child…I like to be fair when showcasing my children! Here’s my son eating from a spoon. He probably could’ve been doing it months ago but, never-the-less he just started this week! I love his little facial expressions.

Blogging…it’s about sharing your story.

Over the past few years of my blogging life I’ve shared many stories and personal moments. i have no regrets. I love blogging and connecting with people (ones I know and ones that just know me.)

Today I sat down to talk to you and instead I started by reading my sister-in-law’s blog…you know how that happens? Well, I was so inspired by her blog I thought all of you should read it instead. Click here: Il Bel Far Niente – Rachel’s Blog was about a local singer-songwriter named Sara Groves and her recent trip to Africa. (Definitely watch the video!)  With everything that’s been happening in Haiti over the last few weeks…it really touched my heart.

I hope your heart is blessed as mine was.
