Sweet Little Makayla

Well, I don't know about you, but I've been crazy busy getting ready for the holidays. So many orders to finish in time for Christmas! I had to post these from last night because she's so adorable, but I'm keeping it short and sweet. She's only 3 months old, and we wore her out, poor thing (as you can see in the last pic). She slept on her way here from Kzoo, and was asleep before she left again. Hope mom and dad got to sleep last night, too, and that they made it home safely in that freezing rain.

An Honor for "Heads"

This is pretty cool. I received a call from PPA today. My image "Heads are Gonna Roll" was apparently part of the travelling Loan Collection that was recently in China. There were 100 prints in this collection, and a magazine over there named Chinese National Reader Magazine chose 4 prints to put in an article about PPA. Mine was one of the 4. I just thought that was cool and I'm very honored! Wanted to share this little tidbit with you =)

Weekend Shots

I've been MIA once again on my Blog. It's hard to keep up this time of year!! So many awesome sessions, it's hard to get them all on here. Soooo, here are just a few shots from this weekend that I did. We had great weather and we took advantage of it!

Congrats to Jenny, Homecoming Queen for Caledonia! (She's the first image below.) Followed by Tristan and his Mom and Dad. Tristan is only 9 months old--how cute is he???!! That boy loves balloons...=)

Sweet!!

PPA launched its updated website yesterday. As I was browsing around, I located my "Heads are Gonna Roll" image on display on the website! Since it's a new site, I don't know how often they will change images (or IF they will), but I am honored as they have many, many, MANY images from which to choose.

If you want to see it, click on the link below. You should see a small "01" and "02" beneath and to the left of the thumbnail images on this page. Click on the "02" and look through the thumbnails for my image--click to enlarge.

A Beautiful Day!

Congratulations to Shelly and Al! I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding a week ago and I wanted to post some of the images from the day. They had a perfect day to get married--beautiful, not too hot, not too cool...just right. And what a nice couple to work with--I couldn't have asked for sweeter people! Enjoy, and we'll be in touch soon to set up your viewing appointment =)

Mac and Jack

Wow, what a fun session today! Mac and Jack are brothers who are almost exactly 2 years apart. What cutie pies! Although it got HOT in the studio today (lots of activity--we were melting!), we got some fabulous shots! Look at those baby bottom dimples--too cute. Thanks for making the 2 hour trip to see me. Mom, I know you won't see these for a while so I wanted to give you a little preview. Enjoy =)

Finally Rachael!

Sorry that it's taken me this long to get some of these out for you, Rachael! I've been having "Blogger" issues for a few weeks now...Have a great vacation and I'll see you when you get back! Enjoy the pics -- you look fabulous =)

Little Dude!

This little dude is such a peanut--look at those blue eyes! He's 6 months old and is sitting up already with no problems. We didn't have one tip-over! Way to go, Tristan! I'll see your Mommy this week--you did great and I think she's going to be a happy Mama!

New Baby Coming

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing 2 expecting couples in one week. I love pregnancy portraits, so it was a great week for me! Another great session with amazing parents-to-be. I'm so excited for you guys!! Enjoy your sneak peek and I'll see you in a few weeks =)

Mary and Company...

About a week ago I had the pleasure of photographing Mary for her senior pics! What a gorgeous gal--her parents make beautiful girls (I had the honor of photographing her older sister a few years ago, too). We had a great session and got some amazing pics =) Isn't the field of flowers fantastic? We also mixed it up with a few family shots at the park...I'll try to post some of those in the near future, too, but for now, here's a sneak peek for you Mary. Enjoy!

Wow! Great Expectations!!

I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful husband and wife as they patiently await the arrival of their first child. We had a great session and they were a lot of fun to work with! I am so excited about the images we captured, so I wanted to share just a few of them here...enjoy! Angie and Eric--can't wait for you to see them all!

An Evening at the Park

I was very excited to see these two little faces for their 2 and 4 year portraits! They are such a cute family and we got to enjoy a beautiful evening at the park together. They were even treated to ice cream by Mom and Dad after the session--yum! Of course, a session with 2 little ones is not without its moments of, well, less than desired cooperation--but that's how it goes at this age. =) It all worked out in the end and I think we got some great expressions!
