Macrolicious Mondays | Michigan portrait photographer

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Inspired by my friend, Cheree Federico of Cheree Federico Photography, I thought I’d start a new series on my blog, called Macrolicious Mondays.

Visiting Cheree last August (my first trip alone since being married and having kiddos) was a great escape and learning experience.  You see, Cheree rocks the Macro shots and taught me how to look at things in a different way.

I thought I’d start this series with something that you all might recognize, especially if you’ve been a follower of my photography.  Do you know what it is?  It’s the red Converse sneakers that started it all, of course!  I just loved to follow Nicholas around when he was wearing those sneakers, and now I’ll get to follow Christopher, as they fit him now!

Sweet Baby Girl Claire! | Brighton MI newborn photographer

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Elizabeth learned of Two Angels Photography through Kelly…cute little Caitlin’s aunt.  Sweet baby Claire is Elizabeth’s first baby and was only 12 days old on the day of her session!

She now holds my record for the most times peed and pooped on during a session, but I didn’t mind.  She’s so sweet…how could you?

Here are my favorites from her session:

Sweet One-Month old Logan | Ann Arbor MI baby photographer

Monday, February 21st, 2011

I had the honor of photographing Logan on the day of his birth; I met he and his family through my work with NILMDTS.  His twin brother, Luke, passed away the same day they were born.

Logan is the first baby that I’ve had the honor of photographing after the NILMDTS session.  He and his parents came to my studio for a ‘newborn’ session, though it wasn’t a true newborn session (those are best done during the first 10 days of life).

After a lot of coaxing, we were able to get some great shots, but not without a lot of work!  Here are my favorites from his session:

Parker’s Valentine’s Mini-Session | Ann Arbor MI baby photographer

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Brittany called me to see if we could fit in her son, Parker, for a mini-session.  He was one of the most cooperative babies I’ve worked with!  Super cute, with big eyes and big smiles!  At first, he wasn’t too sure, but he warmed up to me!  Here are some of my favorites from his session:

Caitlin’s Cake Smash! | Brighton MI children’s photographer

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Here are a couple from Caitlin’s cake smash session…she wasn’t as into smashing the cake as she was digging the cheerios out of it!

Caitlin turns one! | Brighton MI family photographer

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Do you remember beautiful baby Caitlin, that first visited me last summer?  Here is the link to her previous session: Captivating Caitlin!

Can you believe that she turned one?  She and her parents, along with her favorite aunt, Kelly, came to the studio for her year session.  She was as gorgeous as ever, though it turned out we needed some cheerios to coax her true personality out!

Here are some of my favorites from her session!  Stay tuned for her cake smash pictures!

Nicole, Matt & Bruno | Ann Arbor MI family photographer

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

I first met Nicole and Matt when I worked in staffing.  I met Nicole first and then she introduced me to her then fiance, Matt.  He was actually the first person that I placed into the engineering side of my staffing business.

We’ve kept in touch over the years and she won a free session from a giveaway that I did on facebook.  I INSISTED that they choose a day that we could include their furkid, Bruno.

Not only was Bruno well-behaved, but he sure put my two girls (cockapoos) in their place!  He was SUCH a sweetheart – we just had to keep a lookout for that whiplike tail!

Here are some of my favorites from their session!  Matt is a black belt in Karate, so we had him bring his ‘weapons’ and he was such a good sport!
