Where have all the photos gone?

Well, I've been MIA lately on my blog--just been busy trying to finalize prints from the Grand Rapids Children's Museum fundraiser, keeping up with my client sessions, trying to find a new assistant, and now working diligently on scheduling our new models from the ID & Company Casting Call event (which went over VERY well with almost 1500 votes received). It's been a crazy few months and I think I'm finally coming up for air! So, I've gathered a few images from recent sessions to share.

These are images from my daughter playing with a hat in the studio before one of my sessions (of course she won't do this stuff when I'd LIKE her to, only when she's ready to =)... But I love the images, so I'll take what I can get. That's one of the benefits of having a studio in your home, I guess =)

Nope, this is more like what she does "on demand"... We tried to do a portrait session with my parents when they were in town. It was mildly successful, but not what I'd had in mind. It's MUCH easier to work with other people's children!!Now, here, I got to visit one-day-old Carson and his proud new parents at the hospital. Wow, what a beautiful little boy! They are already so much in love with him--you can just feel it. It's amazing how God does that for us! What a wonderful gift...a tiny little life.

This was a great family session I did earlier this week. They were awesome to photograph--aren't they gorgeous? And the little boy, wow, I could just eat him up. He was such a little firecracker and a willing little subject! I love the one of the girls by the lake...check out the black strappy sandals, sweet! Kick it, ladies!
