I had the pleasure of shooting these 2 little dolls on Sunday in St Joesph, MI. This is Kailey and Sydney. You can tell they are sisters... Not only do they look adorably similar, their mannerisms are identical! So sweet. We struggled a bit with sun directly over head but I was able to get really cute shoots of them. My job is easy when the kids are this pretty. I enjoyed my time with them!

testing....

I was able to spend a bit of time this evening with my BF family. They are visiting all the way from Montreal! What a sweet family. The boys don't speak English much but were still able to communicate just fine through their smiles... expression is universal. Here are couple sneak peeks that I wanted to post before they shove off on their journey home.

Ahhh... Family! My sister and family were in town this past weekend. I got sooo many fun shots of them. Too many to post but here are a couple of my favorites. My niece Delanie is so unique and special to me. I call her an old soul... you can see it in her eyes and the way she speaks. From saying her #1 favorite food is black olives to saying "what about tonight isn't an absolute amazing evening for a boat ride" she amazes me. Then there is David... He is such a sweet boy that melts your heart with one hug. He is grip is tight and full of love. I had a great time and am fortunate to call them MY family. Wish they lived closer... but believe I cherish these moments even more because they don't. I love you guys!

This evening, I found myself sitting in silence and in absolute love with the state I live in... Photography has given me the outlet to take time and appreciate the things we rush by daily and take for granted. A simple bowl of cherries grown in an amazing town... the moon as she shines down on us in the evening. I appreciate that I now slow down at times and my eyes are wide open. It is a gift that I have a camera that is able to document these fine moments....

Ludington, MI... I am not sure why I haven't spent more time here. What a great town full of friendly people and breath taking sights. Perfect place to spend a couple of days with my family. They have a perfect dog beach... I am not sure who had more fun. Sad to leave, however, being only 1.5 hrs from home I promise to return. Too many sights to shoot. I will need to capture more!

Sweet sweet Trissy... As your belly grows I become increasingly excited for this next chapter in your life! I cannot wait to meet him... I know you will be the mother that most women aspire to become. He is already so loved by your family & friends!! You look truly amazing!!!

I loved this shoot! For more reasons than I can explain in words... but I will attempt :) Allison & Scott- they are unbelievably comfortable in each other's presence that after a few moments I am pretty sure they forgot I was even there. Because of this simple fact, look what I was able to capture! A friend once asked "What does it feel like to create photos like these?"... Its simple I don't create anything- I am merely fortunate to capture! Allison & Scott I cannot wait to capture your moments on your wedding day!

What a sweet sweet little boy... Bentley Brooks! I had a great time spending the afternoon with him. Thanks again Tim & Heather for letting me wander all over your home. I was able to get one of my new favorite pics... Your tub is so dreamy:)

I had such a great time with these two. Big Brother Landon was such a good sport! He did a great job giving me his serious side. Ashlynn stayed awake for almost the entire session and then fell asleep at the very end to allow me to get a couple snug as a bug pics! Great way to spend my Saturday morning....

Happy Mothers Day! This is my mom!! I took this pic last weekend. It is one of my favs. I was able to get a "real" smile out of her. Cheers to a day to celebrate her! Love you!

This was a fun family shoot I did last Saturday. Little Mick was camera shy but I was able to get a couple giggles captured without him knowing! Brooke did a great job and was easy to capture her little personality... here are a few...

I was honored to do a 1st communion shoot last week. Grace is having her 1st communion on Sunday. She was such a sweet and pretty little girl to shoot. Here are just a few...

2 Sweet Pups, Fab sunset, cocktail in hand...

doesn't get much sweeter than this on a Wednesday evening

Oh, this is why you should have a grill cover......
