Last weekend I had the opportunity to spend a fun day with my sister and her family.....which includes my cute little niece, Kenzie.  We went to the Frederick Meijer Garden to look at the butterflies and wander around the sculpture park.  It was a fun filled day and now I am sharing it with you :)

Some crazy lookin' plants

Chris and Lindsey had a beautiful, classy wedding!  All of the details were simple and gorgeous!  Both families were so welcoming and amazing......it was great gettting to know them!  Chris is from England and Lindsey is from Michigan......they met while Lindsey was studying abroad in England.  I love these types of love stories....  All of Chris' family and close friends traveled for the wedding, which made it all the more special!  The weather called for rain all day, but it hardly rained a drop.....which was probably due to all our praying during the week!  All in all....the day was wonderful and happy allowing for many great memories!

Seeing eachother for the first time.  We always recommend this to couples who want lots of time for photos. 

It was so windy......the umbrellas kept on collapsing!

They were so happy that they are finally married!

My favorite!

Chris and Lindsey are such a great couple!  They were so much fun and soooo in love!  Their love story began in England, where Chris is from and Lindsey studied abroad.  Chris just arrived to the U.S. for their wedding next weekend, which explains the late engagement shoot.  We were so glad to be able to meet with them and meet Chris before the big day next weekend!  Their wedding is going to be beautiful and we cannot wait to photograph it!!  Check back in a week or so for a preview of their wedding day!

I love the arches.....

So romantic!!

We stopped at a coffee shop at tried Lindsey's favorite....a Butter Bear!

 

Cute little Gideon was born on February 4, weighing in at 6 lbs and 15 oz!  He is bigger now, but even cuter!  I love sleeping photos of newborn babies, but Gideon was determined to not fall asleep.  His big eyes studied me and everything in the room during the entire photo shoot.....he is such a happy baby! Sarah & Brandon-you are so lucky!  You have such a gorgeous family!!

Check back in a few months for his 3 month photo session!

He looks like he is showing off his big muscles in this one!

This is my absolute favorite for the shoot!

It was so sweet watching Sarah and Gideon play!

One more of handsome Gideon!

Joe and I had an amazing time in Florida!  From Disney to the Daytona 500....we were able to see and do everything!  We love to travel!  We even had the chance to see greyhound races (we have a grey named Roxy), drive through the Everglades looking for gators, try lots of new restaurants, watch the Dayton 500 in person (Joe even got to ride along in one of the race cars).....ahh...there is just too much to mention!  Take a look at the pics below to see how much fun we had!!

We finally had the chance to relax and re-group.......so now we are ready for our biggest wedding season yet!  17 weddings and counting!  We look forward to working with every single one of you this year!

One final stop to CA for a wedding and mini-vacay!  Can't wait!
