If you like honest, real moments, I'm your girl

Lots of fun and color from one of my very favorite families to brighten up your dreary, Michigan day… Love their outfits!  Perfect for our carnival style theme… So many favorites from this session, but this one is super fab.  Rock it Sharon 🙂 Love you in this one, Sharon… Another fave…

Hey, hey…I am the guest judge this week over at iheartfaces! So, if you haven’t entered an image for this week’s contest, get your hiney over there and enter your image before 9 pm CST. The theme this week is “white.” Love it! Speaking of LOVING it, I absolutely adore this family and their entire […]

Is it weird that these images inspire me? Not because I think my images are awesome, sillies, but because of what this family allows me to do every time I photograph them. I photograph them knowing that I have complete freedom and support to capture them in the world as I see it. I get […]

After almost five weeks of traveling, I am back.  Back to the real world and back to blogging.  And back to share with you tons-o beautiful red hair,  sass, smiles, color, fabulous location, and just an all around amazing time with this gorgeous little family…

Our He Said She Said Workshop went down this last weekend and I am still on cloud nine.  The biggest, hugest thank you goes out to our staff, the amazing sponsors, and Mother Nature…who allowed us a few hours of weather perfection.  AND, the workshop would be nothing without my newest best friends…er…attendees.  We couldn’t […]
