someday, my time here will be up.  at the celebration of my life, i hope there will be a beautiful wooden easel, with a photograph of me.  in that photograph i will not be wearing my wedding dress.  i will not be a young woman of 24, or even of 35 or 40.  in that photograph i will be wearing my hair down and blown back from my face, with something beautiful around my neck.  my eyes will be steady and afire, and my chin will be high and tilted forward to the world.  I will not be hidden behind my husband.  I will not be crouched behind my child.  my photograph will cause the people at the celebration to catch their breath and remember the force of nature that i was in life, and feel in their bones the legacy i have left behind.  this kind of photograph, is the gift i want to create for you.

one day, your children, and their children, will go looking for you in photographs.  what will they find?  one day, the opportunity of your dreams is going to call you up and ask for your photograph to put next to your idea that is going to change the world.  will you send them a selfie?  one day, you will awaken to find that the most worthy, deserving, yet unappreciated person in your life has been you, all along.

i am heather gallaher, and i would love to invite you to a personal photoshoot with me.  it will change the way you see yourself.
