Michigan Wedding Photographer

So I have a Saturday off! Of course you can find me sitting at my computer desk ‘working away’ but I can’t let being a dedicated workaholic take all the credit. I’m hiding. My house is full of 5 children ages 4-9. Children I love dearly and cousins to my two but seriously, WHO thought inviting them all over at once was a good idea?

In the last hour there has been hysterical laughs, yelling, dancing, arguing, name calling, singing and crying. And that’s only what I’ve been doing!

I have decided to escape and find solitude in Elizabeth and Matt’s wedding which I will be calling from this moment on “My Happy Place!”

Oh, and I have news to share with the blogging universe – I have added an assistant to my little operation here and this was her second wedding and I have to say, once you go assistant – you don’t go back. Right now she’s helping me carry things and shooting under no pressure but to learn and soak in the atmosphere of wedding days. Something she’s somewhat familiar with being not only a bride (one of mine!), but also from her past involvement with Bella Tesora Wedding Planning! I have such high hopes for Julie and can’t wait to see how the summer unfolds.

I also have some other news (ok, now I am really just trying to find more things to write about so I don’t have to go ‘out there’ — they’re starting to get hungry and someone has to feed them… I’m scared!)

My new line of wedding albums is in! Pictures (obviously) are coming but all I can say is WOW!! I am so in love with them and can’t wait to take them to my meetings next week. Although I’m going to have a hard time letting people actually touch them! I’ve considered white gloves!!

Ok, I gotta go… I think they’ve taken my husband….

Michigan Wedding and Child Photographer • Fine Art Canvas Gallery Wraps

Tuesday was a dreary day, I wasn’t sure anything could lift my mood until this package showed up on my doorstep! I tore into it like it was a canvas of my own child because over the course of the year I spent with Lauren, Justin and Owen I really fell in love with their family. Our sessions always lasted longer than they should, mainly because I just couldn’t stop taking pictures of Owen and at the end of the year I drove away from them feeling so SAD that I wasn’t going to get an email in a few weeks scheduling his next session… I can’t help myself from really liking my clients and becoming friends with them. And honestly, the pictures I take are a true reflection of that (so, I’d say it’s a good thing!)

I was SOOO happy when Lauren emailed me the good news that Owen was going to be a big brother. I mean, let’s face it, he had the ‘big’ part down all along. I have to laugh because around his 6 month session he started to look bigger than Lauren!!! There’s nothing like a big baby boy to give bear hugs to. And I can’t wait to see him again soon to get some more of that Owie Bear love!

Owen is my Grandson! The pictures you do are just amazing. I wish you were around when Lauren was little!

Great work!

Well, if you hang out on facebook a lot then you know this weekend was my first EVER Contest! I’ve mentioned I’m in the process of refreshing all albums, products and shopping goodness and I wanted a contest to decide who would be the baby on the cover of a gorgeous new album sample! Pictures of that will be coming as soon as it’s ordered but it will be an amazing way to display your baby, child, family, senior, wedding or engagement pictures with a stunning photo cover and heavy duty pages. In short, it will rock!

But back to the contest…. Not only did the winner become a cover model they also won a 20×10 Fine Art Canvas Gallery Wrap! 2nd and 3rd Places won a set of 3 Accordion Brag Books and a 50% OFF coupon for any canvas or baby book.

And the winners are…..

Mister Ryan with 124 votes!!

Miss Gianna with 99 votes!!

and Miss Eliza with 91 votes!

But you’re all winners to me! I just have to take this moment to tell all my clients how blessed I feel to be a part of their lives. The support that was shown for ej during this contest was legen — wait for it — DARY! The emails and messages I got from both clients and voters has been a carwash of good vibes and positive feedback. The best part would be that these pics were selected by the clients! These are THEIR favorites and that’s what made it all so special!

Stay tuned for the wedding version of this contest later this Spring! I can hardly wait to see all the pics that come in for that!

Michigan Child and Wedding Photography • 3 Month Baby Boy Portraits

I’m pretty lucky to be hanging out with such cute boys all the time! And this cute boy, in particular! Mr. Grayson is Owen’s twin… uh, I mean cousin! I took little Owie Bear’s 1st year pics all last year and I swear he was the cuddliest, biggest little man I ever met. I was so sad when he turned 1 but fate wouldn’t let me be without another teddy bear for the year! Luckily the genes are strong in this family!!
