I HEART The Heart Gallery

I’ve donated both money and time to various charitable causes throughout the years, but none have touched me the way The Missouri Heart Gallery has. 

"The
Heart Gallery was founded by the New Mexico Children, Youth and
Families Department in 2001 as a unique way to help children in foster
care who are waiting for adoptive families step from the shadows into
the light. Stirring portraits, which reveal the children’s amazing
spirits and individuality, have helped many find permanent, loving
homes." – from The Missouri Heart Gallery website

For the first time, and certainly not the last, I joined in the efforts of The Heart Gallery by photographing a total of nine children in March.  Over 200 children were photographed by 58 photographers this year.  An exhibit of The Heart Gallery images travels across the state beginning in Kansas City in May and ending at the State Capitol Building in Jefferson City in November.   

This week I received word that five of the children I photographed have been given the gift every child deserves – a permanent, loving family.  In all, 39 children have been adopted and the folks at The Adoption Exchange have responded to over 1800 inquiries…and the exhibit isn’t over yet!

To learn more about The Missouri Heart Gallery and The Adoption Exchange, and how you can help make a difference in the lives of these amazing children please visit their websites.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
H

  1. Heather, I went and looked at the website. It breaks my heart that there so many children out there that need families. I would love to be able to just take them all home with me. Thanks for sharing your talents to help these children find homes. You are an angel for them.

my girl @tifology needed a new #headshot to reflec my girl @tifology needed a new #headshot to reflect the boss lady she is. i’d say we executed well.
i watched this girl grow up and turn into a beauti i watched this girl grow up and turn into a beautiful young woman. she works hard, loves unconditionally and like me, loves vintage clothing. so it only felt right to give her my vintage @gap dress from the #90s to wear in her #seniorportraits. i bought this dress in my 20s and i’m so glad i held on to it for all these years (don’t make me count them 😎). it fit leksi’s style and personality so well and i’m so glad someone is getting some use out of it.
my children are 16 and 18 and i have absolutely no my children are 16 and 18 and i have absolutely no business coming down with a case of baby fever but i just can’t help it. one look at this sweet little face and it’s easy to see why i’m currently trying to talk my husband into another one. and before you start asking - he said no. 😭 so bring me all your squishy newborn babies to photograph. please and thanks. 🧡
a few favorites from a pre-covid @duofit_maternity a few favorites from a pre-covid @duofit_maternity shoot. founder @klwperry thoughtfully created this line of #maternity #activewear that is both designed and produced right here in #kansascity. and it’s getting rave reviews from mamas to be as well as those postpartum.
i fell in love with photography as a way of storyt i fell in love with photography as a way of storytelling. by nature, i am a very curious person. i love nothing more than meeting new people and discovering what makes them tick, what sets them apart. this is probably why i have such a love of shooting branding photos. ⁣

i’ve told many stories over my 17 year career and this is one that sticks with me and has influenced me. ⁣

meet @haileebwalsh, owner of @citygymkc. she’s a business woman, a trainer, a devoted wife, an adoring auntie, an activist and a champion of so many people and causes. she is never afraid to stand up for what is right, whether it’s easy or not. she doesn’t give up and she doesn’t give in. and in case you hadn’t noticed, she’s built like a brick shit house. and so fun to work with! ⁣

if you’ve never met hailee, follow her online, watch what she’s up to and get to know her. she’s inspiring and always doing big things with big love!
