Nick & Katie.....Engaged!

Nick and Katie were so much fun to work with!  It was a hot spring day.......and even after being eaten alive by mosquitoes, we still ended up with some great shots!  They were such good sports, hopping in the car, stopping at random locations - which meant totally trusting me :)  Even wandering onto a nice private little lake - where there were spiders....big, gross ones!!!

Here are some of my fave shots from the session!

 

Addy - 4 Months Old!!

WOW!  I can't believe it has been four months already.  Time has flown by since we welcomed our little Addy into the world...but it also feels like she has always been a part of our lives!  We cannot imagine a day without her!

She is four months old and already knows she is a rockstar....all I can say is.... "You go Girl!" 


If you love these tutus as much as I do, ask me where to get them!  Many colors and styles are available!!

We had to work the self-timer "magic" on this one.  I am a little embarassed to say, but we did not know how to use the self-timer!!  I know you are probably thinking....why not read your manual.  We tried that....only to find out that I put the SPANISH version in my bag!!  (We obvsiously figured it out.   And by we, I mean Joe)

Sarah.....2012 Senior!

A little sassy, super cute and a lot of fun!  That is how I would describe Sarah.  As you can see...she is gorgeous (why are all the Sarah's I know gorgeous?)!!  We had so much fun walking around Muskegon trying to find neat little places for photos...and I think that we succeeded!  There were so many great shots that I had a very difficult time narrowing it down....good luck choosing which ones to print, Sarah!

Meet Sarah....she attends Grant High School!

1-Sarah's Favorite Color:  champagne (like one her dresses in the photos)

2- What are Sarah's after-high-school plans?  She would like to pursue a degree in art and design (my kind of girl :)  )

3 - Sarah says that her style depends on her mood, but is often more creative.  She loves accessories too!  (Sarah and I could have best friends in school for sure!!)

4 - In her spare time, Sarah loves staying active, traveling, attending church, shopping, being with friends, texting and going to the beach!

5 - I also asked Sarah what her favorite part of the photo shoot was.  She said that she couldn't pick one favorite part, but the entire process was fun!  She also said that she felt so comfortable.....which means that I made my goal!!!

Like I said, GORGEOUS!!

 

 

Sarah will be handing out some super cute rep cards....turn one in and receive 24 free wallets!

Also - ask Sarah the "secret" code word.  The first person to tell me the code word will receive something cool....for.....FREE!  Easy enough!

TJ + Amy + Kylie + Makenna

This family is so much fun!  Photographing little ones can be a blast and such a challenge all at the same time!  We had a pretty night and met in my favorite woodsy spot where the light was gorgeous!

  I hope to photograph them many more times in the future :)

Richard & Rachel.....Engaged!!

We had a lot of fun walking around Grand Haven with Richard & Rachel...the day was a nice, kinda chilly, spring afternoon.  Richard and Rachel were so great to work with....they were constantly smiling which reflected their personalities so well.  Being high school sweethearts, they were in love as much as anyone could be.

We cannot wait for their wedding this summer!!
