Heather Robinson Photography bio picture

Hi! I’m Heather. I am a stay at home mama to four children who turn my world upside down each and every day in the most beautifully surreal ways. I believe that every moment of childhood no matter how simple or mundane has hidden treasures waiting to be illuminated. Long before I ever picked up a camera, I loved photographs. As a kid I would spend hours looking through our family photo albums. These were my favorite kind of books. Years later, I strive to not only create these photo legacies for my own children but also to grow as an artist along the way.

a normal day

Thursday, June 30, 2016

On October 18th, my daughter was born and I became the mother of three children. Hundreds of miles away, on the same day, another baby girl was born and another woman added the third child to her family. We were complete strangers at that time, but our love of photography and family brought us together. We started to have a conversation about motherhood with images, because we tell stories with our cameras. Since some tales are so similar, and some are not, we decided to collaborate and share a photo a week from a normal day as a mother to three.

“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.” – Mary Jean Irion

you are tired. i know. parenthood has given and taken more than we ever could have imagined. all those years ago when we chose to make a life together, we were clueless. we still are…we still are. those three words mean everything to me. no matter what is handed to us, you and i are in this together. we still are.

Your new job takes you even further away from us then the last, but through good fortune, you seem to be home earlier then ever before. I never knew how much of a difference thirty minutes can make in the life of our family. We haven’t had you for dinner during a weeknight like this, hardly ever. I have no idea if it will last, but for now, we all can hardly contain our excitement to see you walk in as we put dinner on the table.
