I’m Heather Wilson and I am a twin mom, twin sister, twin aunt, author and photographer. Yes I’m a twin and my twin has twins. I love saying that and I love to drink diet cherry 7/up, play tennis, and dress my twins up in vintage clothes to take their pictures.
I’m ashamed to say I still do not have a baby book. I have a box
that I one day hope to organize and turn into a baby book. However, I have been
able to document their little lives with my passion of photography. I am primarily a family and children’s
photographer. I love the innocence of a
child, their big imaginations, and to hear them laugh. I live and breathe for my twins Cooper and
Addison who have become my inspiration of photographing children.
Growing up I had a Grandfather that I dearly loved who introduced me
to his passion of photography. At 8 years
old he put a Canon 35mm manual camera in my hands and we began to take pictures
together. My Grandfather and I would spend hours taking pictures of old
bridges, old barns, flowers and humming birds. Later in High School I joined
the journalism team and took pictures for our high school yearbook learning the
basics of photography and developing film in the darkroom. I bought my first DSLR in 2009. After my
twins were born I so desired to pick up the camera again and make their lives
sing a beautiful song though the pictures I took. Though the basics of photography did not
changed technology has. To immerse
myself in today’s technology I began to take on-line college courses,
workshops, mentoring programs and vow to not put my camera down.
I have always been passionate about photography due to my Pop’s
influence in my life and now I am continuing to water the seed he planted so
many years ago. I love making memories with the camera and catching moments to
look back on and treasure. My desire is
to bring a smile, a tear, or a laugh to you by documenting what matters most.
The saying is so true that the days are long but the years go by so
fast. I love the quote by Araon Siskind that says, “Photography is a way of
feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured
forever . . . it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten
everything.”
