Such A Beauty And Knows How To Work It....

YEAH.....she sure can work it, a total natural in front of the camera. She reminds me so much of Ava. I loved about every single image of her. We had a good time. I could photograph her for hours :)

A Maternity...

So I know I said that I don't post my maternity, senior and wedding work often. So here is a recent maternity. See I really do them :)
Doesn't she look great!?!? I love it when maternity clients bring cute things to be photographed in. This is one of this cutest!!!
I can't wait to do the newborn session now :)

Somebody Stop Her Now... :)

Alright she is getting a little carried away with her wanting to have her own little session every time I go into the studio for a session. She is so into pictures lately that it is a little crazy. I wanted to finish up the boys v-day pics today so after I did theirs Ava's was ready and waiting for some too. I told her we could try out a few new things that I got ...well I guess that wasn't enough for her as we had to change out the drop a million times!!! Once she got into the seamless paper I had had enough.....I said nope no more we are done!!! Let me tell you that is a first that I have been done before a model. I guess I should count my blessing that she is so willing. I do love that!

A Really Wonderful Couple...

I know I don't post a lot of my wedding, engagement, senior and maternity work but I do shoot these. So I figured I would post a recent engagement session.
This couple was so great. They were so easy to talk to and we just got along great. I think we will have a wonderful time at their wedding this summer. I look forward to it!!!

A Session From Thursday

I had a session Thursday with these 2 gorgeous girls. They were such good little girls and soo adorable! I couldn't get enough of them. I'm so lucky I get all the cutie pies. :)

SALE...SALE...SALE...

Fiona Update...

I have had a few people ask about Fiona so I thought I would post this little update for you.
She is doing good and getting big. She is getting a lot better with the potty breaking issue and is settling down...although still has a lot of puppy in her.
Here are some recent shots. The kids just love her so much!

End Of The Year Sale....

I'm having a monster of a sale! Huge discounts on tons of products. Details coming soon so check back frequently!!!

Miss Ava...And My New Chair

Took her out to the studio after my session today. She was such a good girl! I just love taking pics of her...sometimes she just amazes me! I swear her eyes are changing color too....when she was a baby they were blue as can be and now they are this strange blue/green/grey color. Of course it depends on how the light hits them too. Weird how that happens.
Oh yeah.....I just got this chair and another really cool funky one...my mom and sister think I'm crazy! I picked them up a couple of weeks ago on our way to Grand Rapids. We were heading to the mall and out to lunch with all 5 kids and here I come out of the antique store carrying a chair and the owner is right behind me carrying another....we had a good time fitting them in my mom's Yukon XL amongst the 3 car seats and 2 booster seats. Yeah, they love me! :)

We Are Back From Our Mini Holiday Vacation...

So we got back this evening from our little mini vacation in Traverse City. We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge as part of their Christmas present. Jess and I decide that the kids just get sooo much stuff at Christmas and to be honest it is such a waste. Either it is broke by February or they have no interest in it anymore so we decided that we were just going to do something that they would enjoy. We wanted to go to Florida but thought that Chunk and Eve were both too young right now to do that long and far of a trip.
The whole crew went. It was us and the kids along with Al and Kyle and the girls and then my mom and dad. We had a really big suite with 2 queen beds a king bed and a pull out so we had plenty of room. The kids had a blast. It was fun but I must admit I was ready to come home after 2 days. I'm such a home body, it is really pathetic. I always say that I will probably live here in my same ole' house forever. It'll probably be falling down around me and I still won't be able to leave it.......too many sentimental memories.
Anyways here a some snaps of the crew....I didn't dare take my camera into the water park. Really didn't feel like adding another couple grand to my Christmas spending :)

Peace Dude!

Boo playing his game that he "accidentally" purchased by hitting the "order" button on the remote
4 little monkeys sitting on the bed :)
Ava curled up asleep with her lovie at like 7:00 pm Christmas evening......needless to say she woke up at about 10:00
Boo changing Eve's diaper after Al told him she would give him $1.00 for the arcade if he changed her...
This is where Chunk slept last night....he went back and forth from the bed to the floor....tucked in all comfy between the wall and the bed. It cracks me up how they can sleep anywhere.
