January 4, 2010 by Heather · 2 Comments
Whew, so the last few months of 2009 were crazy busy and I totally slacked at keeping you informed of shoots we’d photographed and all the fun going on at Heather Neckers Photography. Its a new year and I’ve got a new resolution — to blog more.
To kick it off I’m just going to say a huge thank you to all of my previous clients from last year and to those that have been around for many more years, I truly appreciate you trusting us to capture your weddings, family portraits, newborn portraits and senior sessions! I also appreciate all the referrals you have been sending my way, it seriously makes me smile to know how much you love what I do and want to share it with your friends!
I’d also like to say congratulations to all you newly engaged couples out there — If I haven’t gotten back to you yet about your wedding inquiry don’t worry you are next on the list after this blog post! We are about halfway full for 2010 but there are still some great dates available! Oh and don’t forget the awesome wedding giveaway we have going on with Bella Day Spa, Blue Heron Inn, Jr’s Last Laugh, Bally Lough and Vixen Sessions – check out more info on the wedding giveaway.
I’m really excited about what 2010 has in store for us — I look forward to photographing your wedding or portrait and wish you a safe and prosperous new year!
Coming up on the blog: a snowy winter engagement portrait session!
xoxo | Heather
Puppy Portrait and a Little Update
November 16, 2009 by Heather · Leave a Comment
Okay so I definitely didn’t get to post last week! We’ve been super busy and we also made a trip to New York City last week. I just wanted to update a little bit and let you know that we are hard at work and working on something really awesome for all Erie and Jamestown area wedding couples, stay tuned for more updates as we are able to release them!
Also, its not too late to get Christmas pictures done for either prints to be given as gifts or for Christmas/Holiday cards to send out. Another fun option is to send out Happy New Year cards.
And we will end this on an adorable picture captured earlier today — this is Millie, an English/Olde English bull dog puppy! There will probably be more of Millie’s portraits on the facebook page sometime this week.

Temporary Studio Parking Update + A Fun Photograph
August 5, 2009 by Heather · 2 Comments
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that there is some major street renovating going on Route 89. There is no parking out front of the studio, I am not entirely sure how long this will last, so your best bet is to avoid Rte 89 / Lake Street if possible. Just take Route 20 and park on Main Street when you come see me. Thanks!
And just because this is a photographer’s blog…here is a photograph
This portrait was taken during my trip to Albany, NY with Vixen Sessions last week. You can see more on the Vixen Sessions Blog and on the Vixen Sessions facebook.

Its been a while since I’ve posted, I’ve been so busy working on my new wedding website — I don’t want to promote it much yet until I’m satisfied with it but it can easily be found for those who care to find it at this point.
I’ve been photographing a bunch of Vixen Sessions and even have a really exciting announcement to make about that later today! So stay tuned — follow me on the Vixen Sessions Twitter or check the The Vixen Diaries blog later this afternoon.
I’ve also been working on some really cool products for seniors, photos to come of the books when they come in! Also been photographing preschoolers, reworking portrait packages, meeting with brides and grooms [ and booking a bunch! ] and just getting ready for the start of wedding season. Tomorrow I will be second shooting a wedding with my friend Rachel from Puremotif Photography and Design.
Also, I finally succumbed to the Twitter world after much thought about it. I plan to announce specials via Twitter just for my “tweeps” … I’ve still gotta get used to this lingo! Anyway, you can follow me @hnphoto and @vixensessions!
Be back soon with some new photos!!

Super Fantastic Wedding Giveaway — Prize #1
April 27, 2009 by Heather · Leave a Comment
We are very excited to announce prize number one in the Super Fantastic Wedding Giveaway! [ I know, crazy name - but it really is super fantastic, there is no better way to describe it! ]
Prize #1: The Romantic Giveaway
The winner who chooses the Romantic Giveaway will get a weekend stay at Bally Lough, a charming Findley Lake cottage [ website link to come ] and a breakfast voucher for Findley Lake’s fine dining establishment the Blue Heron Inn Bed and Breakfast!
Bally Lough is a cottage nestled on a large pond a couple of miles from the center of town in Findley Lake. I chose this cottage for the Romantic Giveaway because its a cozy little retreat that is perfect for a private and romantic weekend getaway. You will be have a wide variety of dates to choose from for your weekend stay and all I can say is you can’t go wrong no matter what time of the year you choose. In the winter there is a fireplace to cuddle up next to while sipping wine and connecting with your loved one, and since it is only a few miles from Peek’n Peak you can spend the day on the slopes or at the spa before a romantic night in. When the weather is warmer there are trails throughout the 65 acres of forest, a hammock next to the pond for relaxing and a spot to have a bonfire at night. I just feel like it has something for everyone, no matter how active your lifestyle!
I chose the Blue Heron Inn because what goes better with a weekend getaway than fabulous food?! The Blue Heron Inn is famous for its tasty meals and wonderful atmosphere. They are located on the north end of Findley Lake and have a beautiful view of the lake from their covered deck. They are also an awesome place for dinner — I’ve never eaten anything there I didn’t like!
I hope the Romantic Giveaway appeals to you — if not, stay tuned for more prizes! The next announcement will come sometime this week!
I’ve got some really fantastic pictures from Kathy & Mike’s wedding day last Saturday, check the HNP facebook page later today for a few of those and there will be a blog post here soon of that portrait session as well!
