• Memories. Their every fleeting; consistently being altered over time every time we think about them. And yet they are the one thing of never ending value in this life. They help guide us. Shape and mold us. And help comfort us through loss and struggle. “Remember when dad did...” “been there, done that” “oh my gosh, my roommate back in college did...” As a photographer, it is always my end goal to leave my couples and clients with tangible memories of some of their most important days (and sometimes smaller moments such as baking cookies together or around a camp fire) to hold onto and carry with them through life. Here are just few snippets of my own memories day camping with my family this summer. This year May have thrown us all countless curveballs. But it’s my hope we’ll all at some point look back and remember the memories as well. On that note; I have a limited number of days for October, November and December family + couples sessions. DM me or shoot me an email at heatherwoolerycontact@gmail.com to get more info or to book 🍂🖤

  • 2020 is a sh*% year!!!⠀ ⠀ Now that I have your attention and your like “eff yes it is!” I wanted to share something with you.⠀ ⠀ This last week my laptop decided to crap out and it’s currently at Apple Care with an unknown return home date currently. Then my phone started going south and will be replaced tomorrow. (You know, when it rains, it pours!)⠀ ⠀ I am a HARD CORE people pleaser, and adding the stress of not being able to edit current clients galleries on top of at home-learning, crazy weather/air quality, and the hubs out of town for the last few weeks for the Army - I had an epic meltdown this week.⠀ ⠀ Sobbing hot mess doesn’t even begin to express what this melt down looked like. And you wanna know what; it’s okay. It’s okay to just be done. To just need to cry and drink an extra glass of wine and just call it a day.⠀ ⠀ The world is heavy right now. From the pandemic, to the election, to Black Lives Matter and standing up for the minorities, the children and the immigrants/refugees down to the passing of RBG. It all feels so damn heavy.⠀ ⠀ It seriously took me sobbing my eyes out in a shower once my kids went to bed earlier this week (the laptop and phone were my last straw) to be reminded that where my voice counts, and I refuse to be silent, I refuse to let my couples down, I refuse to let my kids fall behind - that it’s okay to take a couple evenings “off” and just go to bed. Or read a book. Or take an extra long shower for the 2nd time that day.⠀ ⠀ Our bodies and souls are carrying us through such a turbulent time that we need to make sure we’re taking care of them. Loving them. Our body, mind and soul are just as important as all the other things out there.⠀ ⠀ So this is my little reminder that sweet friend, you’ve got this day. And even if you don’t, forgive yourself. Give yourself grace. And rest. Even for 10-minutes just breathing outside with a cup of coffee. I’m not sure if or when this season will end, but don’t let it crush you. So have grace with yourself and those around you. We’re all humans simply trying to figure out how to handle this season.⠀ ⠀ XO⠀ - H

  • Just bought four bottles of wine at Safeway and the cashier goes “at home learning going that great huh?!” 😂🤣 Oh man, sweet woman at Safeway, you’ve got no idea 🍷🍷🍷 On that note y’all, my “office hours” are a cluster. Some days I’m working from 4:30 am - 7:30 am and other days I’m burning the midnight oil. Thank you for having patience with me while I’m trying to navigate at-home learning, being a mama/wife and running this business. I promise every extra minute I have I’m editing, responding to emails and getting galleries delivered 🖤🖤 I truly do appreciate you all! ——— Photographer: @heather.woolery Videographer: @shelbyeaton.media Makeup: @KaylaKollection Cake: @siftandgather Dress: @hyacinthbridal Florals: @roseandsparrowfloral Videographer: @shelbyeaton.media Necklace: @opalMilk Earrings: @meganleetravis

  • Autumn days are here and I am 100% okay with that!⠀ ⠀ Autumn holds my favorite colors, my favorite weather, and honestly my favorite pieces in my closet! There’s a reprieve from the typical “go go go” aspect of summer and it’s a time to slow down and find beauty in simple things.⠀ ⠀ I truly never have “enough” sessions in September and October because it’s my favorite season. Butttttttt, I wanted for give you some factual reasons WHY autumn is the BEST time for any kind of session or elopement!⠀ ⠀ + soft light. There is something so muted and soft about autumn light that really doesn’t happen any other time of year. This means creamy skin tones and golden hues that just can’t be beat!⠀ ⠀ + cooler temps. Instead of trying to beat the heat in the summer, you can actually feel comfortable and even cozy (hello favorite sweaters) and therefore really enjoying your session.⠀ ⠀ + less people. Because everyone is back at school and work, it’s more likely to have to deal with far less to zero people during your session or elopement then you would during the summer.⠀ ⠀ + earlier session. Because the light starts to go down much earlier then it does in the summer, you can have a session at 4ish and be good and done by the time dinner rolls around 🙌🏻🙌🏻⠀ ⠀ I’ll be sharing more about autumn sessions over the next week but until then I just wanted to share that I’ll be opening Sundays and weekdays in September and October for any session or elopement 🍁🍂🌙 so if your on the hunt for a⠀ Photographer who THRIVES during this time: I’d live the chat with you. Either fill out the DM or simply go to my website and fill out the⠀ Inquiry form.⠀ ⠀ Happy Autumn Friend 🍁🍂🥰 ———— Photography: @heather.woolery Earrings: @soulmadeusa Hair: @marigold.hair.design Outfits: @thestormcellarmoscow / personal pieces

  • Feeling so blessed that today’s a double post kind of day 🥰 Y’all, in February my amazing team and I had a whole shoot planned and it just fell apart left and right. Models canceled the night before, florals didn’t show up, bad weather after days of stunning sunsets, I could go on and on. We seriously debated about scratching the shoot entirely. At midnight the day before our sweet friends (who’ve modeled for us before) texted us being at the ready to model again. It was this that kicked us back into gear. 6-months later it’s a 5-page feature in @rockymtnbride Idaho print magazine 😩🥰🤘🏻 what is life? It would have been so easy to just throw in the towel and call it close but no cigar. And man am I glad we persevered and pushed through. This is one of my proudest moments in my little business thus far! And I am so incredibly grateful to this team and to the ladies at @rockymtnbride 🖤🖤🖤 Don’t give up. Even when it’s hella hard and doesn’t feel like it’s going to plan. Sometimes the universe has something up its sleeve that’s better then you could have ever imagined!!! —— Photographer: @heather.woolery Design + Florals: @wildwood_company_ Dress: @hyacinthbridal Bridal Jewelry + Bolo Tie: @hellscanyonboloco Sweets: @goosehousebakery Paper Goods: @ardentdesign.co Hair: @marigold.hair.design Makeup: @tesealaise Models: @moore_of_mckayla @jonmoore16 Magazine feature: @rockymtnbride #idaho
