Please email me or call me to reserve your session.

Within a few days of your session, you will receive a link to your online gallery containing three to five proofs. You can choose one of those proofs for your Easter collection. Don’t worry – additional proofs are available for purchase at 10% off!

Here she is…Giving is Awesome winner…Kennedy & her family {Detroit MI baby, children's, & family photographer}

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Saturday I had the honor of meeting Kennedy, her wonderful Aunt Toye (who nominated her) and her entire family – brothers Dale III and Drake, sisters Essence & Serenity, and her parents, Dale & Tasha.

The entire family popped into the studio for a few quick shots (literally – I think each pose took 3 clicks) and then we were off and running.  Boy did we have FUN with Miss Kennedy.  She was SUCH a sweet baby to work with!  The rest of the pics can be found here: Kennedy & her family – Flickr pics

Little Miss Sunshine…x2! {Brighton MI Children's Photographer}

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Meet my friend Karen’s girls…aren’t they GORGEOUS? Like their mom! Now, you all KNOW that I am a HUGE Spartan fan, but I couldn’t help but be THRILLED when Karen brought the girls’ cheerleader outfits. I can’t believe I’m going to type this on my blog, but…GO BLUE!  Their full set of pics can be seen here:  Jessica & Mikayla’s pics

Some favorites of handsome Noah! {Ann Arbor MI children’s photographer}

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Noah and Nicholas are good friends…and so are me & Chrissy.  She and I first met online while both pregnant with our boys and realized that we didn’t live too far from each other…

This was the first time we’ve gotten together since the Holidays, so I thought I’d snap a few pics of Noah…you probably recognize him from some of the pics I took of him last fall for his 2nd birthday.

Isn’t he such a little charmer?  And he’s got a sweet personality to boot!

Snaps from a playdate! {Detroit Michigan baby & children’s photographer}

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

The boys and I visited with some old friends/former coworkers last week.  All of us have two kiddos and Corinne even has another on the way.  So it was 4 women, and 8 children under 3!  Fun times!

Look at the eyes on these kiddos…SO SO captivating!

Ella is Heather’s youngest and is a sweet thing!  We’re still going to try to fit in a session before she gets too big!

These two are Sandy’s kiddos…Bray turned one in September and Lily will be 4 in August.

I got a new lens today – new to me, that is.  An online friend of mine sold me her Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 that she wasn’t using anymore.

Here are a couple of shots from today!
