Models Needed

I'm in need of a few models for an afternoon session downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, June 6.  I am looking for ages 3-8 and a high school senior.  I'm teaming up with another fabulous photographer who will be in town shooting with me.  Please email me a photo if you're interested:

You'll receive some goodies too for participating!  Get ready for a fun and fabulous afternoon!

Cuteness...

these kids have it!  I had a great evening hanging out with this gorgeous family.  Despite our air conditioning not installed yet, it being over 1000 degrees in our house, and 1 really hot photographer, the session was a success!  

Hope you've enjoyed your sneak peek!  :)

YEA!

I LOVE my buggy.  I love it very much and I was so excited when this client wanted to photograph her little sugar in it!  

*Sigh*... isn't this precious?

Ugh... I love this one too.

Snooze And You Lose

June is officially booked!  I will only be accepting a few sessions in July as I would like to enjoy some of my summer too.  If you are interested in booking a session do it now!  

I *HEART* This Family

Very much so I do.  Good friends of ours came over this morning to have pictures taken of their little guy who will be one very, very soon.  Time has flown over this past year and it feels like yesterday we were anticipating this little guys arrival.  Happy birthday buddy!

Later this afternoon I met back up with this family to do a mini session.  When I say mini, I mean mini!  They were attending a wedding that was held at the Amway Grand Hotel and in between the ceremony and the reception we took a few pictures.  20 minutes of shooting, this family was back to the party.  

Remember that little buddy from above?  Here's his mamma and daddy.

This is for you Chris...  This so happens to be my favorite - so there!!  :)

Meet Miss Adorable

What fun I had tonight with this little Miss.  Full of energy, fun, and life this little 4 year old completely stole my heart!  We had a blast together as we did her session!

Thanks so much mom for bringing her in to have her pictures taken.  I had a lot of fun with you two!  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

So I've been a bit down lately as I've been wanting a fabulous picture with all 3 of my kids.  I've been editing other clients sessions and seeing all the fabulous pictures of their kids together it's made me crave one of all 3 of mine.  Well, Trey was taking a nap during this session with my kids but...  I'm still in love.  2 together, next time we'll add the 3rd child.  I WILL get one of all of them!!!  

Mother's Day

What a fabulous day I had today.  I got to sleep in ('till 10!) and I was given a gorgeous necklace in a heart box that my kids painted for me.  I am blessed.  

I got to play today too with Gibson and Rylee while Trey was sleeping.  Heart be still... 

Sooooo serious.... 

ETA**  I just got home (from the ER - don't ask) and came back to these photos and found this one... much happier!

So, is anyone else ready to do some outside sessions?!?  Call me to set something up for July. I'm so thankful for this weather, it's nice to see blue skies, green grass and leaves on the trees.  

Happy Mother's Day! 

Glowing

This mama is expecting her 3rd babe this summer and they are just so excited to meet this little one.  The parents didn't find out the sex of the little bean so it will be a big surprise come delivery time!  

Congratulations on your little babe to be!!   

I've Got The Fever

Yup - the baby fever.  I have to be quick with this post.  I've tried to post a couple of times and our cable/internet keeps shutting down.  

Isn't he the cutest little thing?

Proud big brother.

Congratulations you guys!  It was so nice meeting you today!

Here's Another One

It seems like I've been doing a lot of first birthdays lately.  Well... here's another little guy that is celebrating his special day!  

Cake is always so much fun... and very messy!

Here's big brother.

Happy birthday big man!  Enjoy your sneak peek parents!!!  :)
