1 year old, Charlotte

Last week I had a 1 year old boom with 3 baby girls having their first birthday sessions with me. One of those little sweeties was a first timer to me, Miss Charlotte. This little strawberry blonde was such a sweetheart! Super smiley girl, with dimples you could just eat. It was a pleasure to meet you April and I hope to work with your family more in the future. Thanks for letting me capture this milestone age for your little girl, and thanks always to The Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe for the use of your shop and your hospitality while we are there!

1 year old Brianna

I first photographed Brianna when she was 3 months old (here). I can't believe she is a year old already! We met up at The Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe in Midland for her 1 year session, which included a cupcake smash of course!  Brianna is the sweetest little thing, with eyes that melt you. Such a little beauty. Have a look...











I am very excited to announce that I will be taking on Winter Mini-Sessions during the months of January and February 2011!

We are having a beautiful, snowy, winter in MI and I've had the opportunity to take advantage for a few fun outdoor sessions thus far.  Most people get photos taken in the summer and fall, I want to offer you a unique opportunity for some winter photos!

The details:
-Sessions will last 15-20 minutes max. Baby, it's cold outside!
- Cost is $100, pre-paid via paypal, cash, or check before your session takes place to reserve your date/time.
- You will get a gallery of 8-10 photos to view online. You choose FIVE of your favorite photos, and they are yours with printing and user rights! (sent via email)
-  Location is up to you, but I have a couple places in mind that are really beautiful with all this snow.
- I will be booking winter minis for week days between 11am and 2pm. I am also keeping open Sunday, January 23rd and Saturday, February 12th just for these sessions if you need a weekend date. Weekend sessions will all take place at Millpond Park in Mt. Pleasant.
- My favorite part... while I am no longer doing regular family sessions, for these special minis, there is NO 
limit to the number of people included! This would be the perfect opportunity for that family that is looking for "just one nice picture" to hang on the wall. 

Winter Wardrobe Suggestions:
Neutrals with a pop of color. Black, navy, gray, brown, tan, cream, with rich colorful accents (deep red, plum, mustard yellow...). Scarves, gloves, hats. Textured knits are great accessories. Boots! "Dressy" coats. Fur lined hoods! Just be sure to layer yourself up, especially the little ones!

Last week we took the cold head on and had a fantastic session with 2 year old Kayden. He was such a trooper and the results are really beautiful I think. Hope you you have a wonderful birthday Kayden and I can't wait to meet your baby brother/sister in April!

2 month old Jackson

Last week I went to Jackson's grandma's home to take some photos for them. I'm loving the in home sessions this time of year with the homes decorated for Christmas!  Have a look at this handsome hunk of love. :)



Jackson crashed shortly after changing into this adorable outfit...





The napping didn't last very long...






This look... I think he was getting sick of me.

Or, he was just ready for a longer nap.


S and A, hope you enjoy the peek into your photo session. The cd is in the mail!
