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!

Mark and Vince!

Ok, I had a great session with Mark and Vince for their senior pics! They are good friends and were up for having some fun with their 2-for-1 session. You guys were great, and I hope you love your images! See you soon.

Laura's Kids

Here are a handful of cute images from my session with Laura and Ron's kids from St. Joe. We captured some really fun images--but I'm saving a few for your viewing, Laura! I can't give up ALL the good ones here ;)

Back for more!

Well, I've been buried in projects the last few months! So sorry to have disappeared. Many of you have commented on my absence on the Blog, so here's a little update about what I've been up to:

We completed a successful first annual Casting Call for Inspirations Photography and ID & Company, a local store in Caledonia that specialized in personalized gifts. Thirteen new models were voted in by the public. We coordinated products, held studio sessions for each new model, created fun, new designs and images, and they now grace the walls of the ID & Company store. We hope all the participants had as much fun as we did doing this!

I also participated in the first Main Street Merchant's Western Week in Caledonia in June. Deb Sportel, of Sportel Photography in Caledonia, and I photographed families and children with a western twist in an old bank in downtown Caledonia. We also ran around doing candid portraits of those in attendance. It was great to meet some of our fellow Caledonians!

As a board member of the pool this year, I've also been busy doing photography work for the Dolphin Swim Club, located in Kentwood. They held a kids triathlon in June, and I photographed that event. I also photographed the lifeguards at the pool and posted their images on the Club's web site. They are a fun bunch!

I've also been spending time with my family, which will hopefully be easier now that I have a new rockin' computer that works at warp speed compared to my last one. That, too, has brought along it's own issues, but I'm working through them. They are all worth it, though, and thanks to Kris, my PC guru, he made the setup so much less painful than it could have been. It's amazing how many types of software you realize you have when you need to reconfigure a new computer--yikes!

On top of this, I've been working hard to create wonderful memories for my clients in the form of unforgettable images. I'm blessed to have so many amazing clients. Thank you for your patience as I've been wading through my sea of projects this year.

Ok, that being said, here are some images from a session I did for Taylor from Texas when she was in town. Stay safe, sweetie!

Laura, I'll upload some for you later today!
