What a wonderful family I got to know today...and lucky me, they are my neighbors! I can't get over the color block wall in Oliver's room...now, how to bribe his dad to come paint one of our walls!
There was so much cuteness during this session as you will see.
Hope you guys enjoyed your sneak peek!There are a lot of things I could say about this family, most of which would come across as me being highly emotional...which is true.
Faith, strength, courage, love, joy....these are the words that come to mind when I think of this family.
The list could go on, and I don't even know them as well as many of their close friends and family.
Oh, and the beautiful children are THE best behaved, kind, polite children I have ever met (and I am including my own son in the mix) and it is no doubt those traits are a reflection of their parents.
The way this family deals with the challenges they face in life remind me daily to live every day to the fullest and appreciate the many blessings I have, especially the people I love.
There are many friends and family wishing this family a happy, long and healthy future together, including me!
Such a wonderful, kind, beautiful family that I feel extremely honored to have photographed over the years. Here is their newest addition, Landon, who was just as sweet as can be!
I have been questioning where my photography is heading for a long time now. While my business direction is in limbo, I am disappointed that I have allowed photographs of my own family to diminish to almost nothing lately. Trapped in the house on a snowy day today, I started to remedy the lack of family 'just because' pictures.
My baby is getting so big...
I was so excited when this former bride contacted me to tell me she and her husband were expecting a baby girl this spring and asked me if I would do a maternity session with them.
Despite 50 degree temps in January in Michigan yesterday, it was only a balmy 22 degrees in Lansing today so we did most of the session indoors with a few pictures at MSU, where the couple was married two years ago.
This picture makes me smile, because as you will see, this is one beautiful pregnant woman, who if you took a picture straight on, you wouldn't even know she was pregnant.
This was a really fun session for me. I met up with Mary and John for a chilly engagement session last winter. I wasn't able to photograph their wedding this summer, but when Mary asked if I would do a session after the wedding of just her and her husband, I was thrilled and accepted!
I hope newlyweds enjoy their sneak peek!
It's been two years since I last saw Minnah. I was very excited when her mom called me to see if we could schedule another session while they were visiting Michigan from their home in Chicago. Minnah was even cuter than last time, but while last time she was all smiles, she made me pull out all the stops to get her to crack a smile this time. In her defense, it was really cold AND I am not very funny. Not even the candy corn trick could endear me to her. As I told her mom and dad...she's adorable even when she doesn't smile. See for yourself!
