Hi! Thank you for checking out my blog! My name is Sandy I am photographer that specializes in contemporary portraits of babies, children and families.
This blog will be used to keep clients (current or future), friends, and family updated on whats going on with my business as well as a glimpse of my personal life. My most recent work will always be found here. Please subscribe or bookmark this link and check back often to stay updated.
Please feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear from you!
Some of my Facebook friends tagged me a few months ago to write a note with "25 Random Things About Me". I thought this would be a great way to tell my blog readers a little about me, so here goes:
1. Prior to becoming a photographer I was a CPA and worked 9 years in public accounting doing corporate taxes.
2. I’ve been with my husband Chad 19 years - more than ½ my life. He was my date for my senior prom.
3. I am a total magazine addict. I subscribe to almost 15 magazines and still manage to buy some off the shelf each month. I have quite a few stacks around the house, which drives my husband crazy.
4. I’m a total morning person. I’m up @ 5:15 every morning and try to exercise or enjoy my morning cup of coffee in total peace and quiet.
5. I always root for the underdog. ALWAYS!
6. I LOVE to travel. Some of my favorite places I’ve been are Florence, Playa Del Carmen and South Beach. I’m dying to go to Bora Bora, New England in the fall, Scotland and New Zealand.
7. My favorite candy of all time is Haribo gummy bears.
8. In college, I worked as a teller at a bank and was robbed my 1st week on the job.
9. I get sucked into Reality TV – some faves are The City, American Idol, Project Runway, America’s Next Top Model and Amazing Race.
10. I love my kids and they crack me up on a daily basis.
11. I’m extremely loyal.
12. I had a huge crush on Johnny Depp (21 Jump Street days) when I was growing up.
13. Trying a new great restaurant is one of my favorite things to do. I love food, all kinds, although Sushi is a definite favorite.
14. I got sucked into the Twilight books and even dragged my husband to see the movie on our vacation.
15. I have a very hard time relaxing, my mind is always going a mile a minute.
16. I really like karaoke – not that I’m a good singer. Favorite songs to sing are “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benatar and “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes.
17. My biggest turn-off is arrogance.
18. I love to shop and have the ability to justify any purchase and help anyone else do the same– this can be a bit dangerous.
19. I feel very lucky to have such great friends and family.
20. I know its probably wrong, but I need to have my daily TMZ fix.
21. I was a blonde most my life until I dyed my hair dark brown about 5 years ago.
22. An ideal day for me would be laying by a pool with good friends, eating lots of chips & guacamole and drinking an ice cold Corona.
23. I’m a jeans addict - you can never have too many pairs.
24. I love my job as a photographer and feel so lucky to have found something I am completely passionate about.
25. Coming up with 25 random things about myself was hard and took me way too long.
I had such a great time photographing these cuties! Not only are they super cute, but they have the nicest parents & grandparents. Although the session was long and I know mom and dad were tired (very tired!), it was a total pleasure!

Carmen is an AWESOME wedding & family photographer in Dayton Ohio. I met her last year at WPPI and we hit it off instantly! Her and JP met and fell in love in Manhattan Beach so she wanted to get some family pictures taken at the place where it all began! I haven’t photographed many photographer families and I must admit I was very nervous for this session. I ended up having a blast and her boys (Jack, Daniel,Nick & William) definitely kept me on my toes!
May 13, 2010 - 4:39 pm - Beautifully done, Sandy! I love this session...and the location is perfect! Wish I lived closer, I'd use it often. :)
May 13, 2010 - 6:33 pm - OMG!!!! LOVE the pier shot! Carmen your family is beautiful and Sandy my friend...you did an amazing job!

I’m back from an amazing week in the Florida Keys and trying hard to catch up. I photographed this cutie before I left and she was a perfect little subject. She slept almost the entire time (which rarely happens) and we actually had a hard time getting awake shots. I know her mom is anxiously waiting for a little peek, so Aimee here you go! I’ll be in touch very soon.
already working the camera:) love her smile!
May 6, 2010 - 12:38 am - I must get myself one of those bowls! Love it and all of these images!

I’ve been wanting to have sessions in my studio for a while now and am finally offering studio sessions for babies and kids only. While my main focus will still be location sessions, I think these studio sessions will be a great addition to the services I offer. In order to celebrate the launch of these sessions, I am offering studio mini sessions for the month of February. These are great if you want to capture some great images of your babies and kids without investing in a full custom session. The details are as follows:
WHAT: 30 minute photo session
WHEN: February Only – contact Sandy for available dates & times
COST: $250
INCLUDES: Session Fee, (1) 8×10, (2) 5x7s
Call 949.515.3905 or email sandy@sandyheit.com to reserve your spot
Here are some examples of my studio images:
February 2, 2010 - 2:03 pm - How exciting! The studio photos look great!
