Happy 234th Birthday, America! | Howell MI photographer

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

I am participating in a scavenger hunt through the Clickin’ Moms community that I belong to, and I just HAD to share this picture I took.  Nicholas and I went on a field trip last night, just the two of us, and he was SO excited to “take pictures with Mommy”.

Meet my doula, Cara! | Ann Arbor MI family & maternity photographer

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

When my doula, Jen, moved from Ann Arbor, Cara came highly recommended. She was there for us at Christopher’s birth and should we have any more children, I hope that we’ll be able to have her there.

Believe it or not, Cara told me that they’ve NEVER had professional family pictures done. And they’re such a GORGEOUS family! I am honored that you chose my services, Cara.  I can’t help but include a pic of her gorgeous daughter, Maia, in the sneak peek!  What a fun personality she has!

Look in your email for a link to your gallery!

Michelle’s Maternity & Jacob turns 3! | Ann Arbor MI maternity & children’s photographer

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Michelle is the Fresh Faces 2010 winner in the Maternity category.  Ironically, she’s someone that I ‘know’ but don’t know… someone that is mutual friends with my friends and I bump into her all the time!  I hope I’ll be able to get to know her better…and maybe Jacob & Nicholas can become buddies too!

I had a GREAT time with her and Jacob tonight, and can’t wait to meet her little one.  We made sure to take some of Jacob as he’s turning 3 in just a few weeks!

“Oh! Look at the beautiful butterfly!” | Howell MI children’s photographer

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Today, we ventured up to our alma mater (Go State!) and had planned on just hanging out in the gardens.  Since it was a bit chilly, and my brother and my sister-in-law (Auntie Bonnie) are acclimated to the warm Houston weather, we decided to go inside and explore the greenhouses for a bit.

We were THRILLED to find the Butterfly House, and look what just happened to land on my hand?  Nicholas LOVED it!  It sat there for about half a minute and we were able to admire it’s beauty up-close.

Impressed by my ‘mad skilz’ ?  I snapped this pic with only one hand!  :)

Katie B.’s baby bump session! | Brighton MI maternity photographer

Monday, April 5th, 2010

I had the pleasure of meeting Katie while waiting in line at customer service at Kohl’s.  I noticed she was expecting and her little boy looked to be a bit older than Nicholas…we got to chatting and I gave her my business card.  You know how that goes…you hope they’ll call you…well, she contacted me via email!  We had her session today at 31 weeks and she’s a beautiful momma to be.  Not a stretch mark in sight.

The weather was GORGEOUS today so we were able to do a few shots outdoors, as well as inside!

Katie – I’m looking forward to meeting Baby B. and Star, and seeing James again!  Enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll be in touch with you with your gallery information!
