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

Just hanging on the bed.  You know…it’s what every family does on a Friday evening. To be perfectly honest, I wish I had images of me and my family hanging out on our bed on Friday or any other day of the week. If people in images could make someone’s day, they just made mine.

First, my mini sessions for May are full…THANK YOU!  However, my contest to win one of three free styled/themed mini shoots is going until Thursday!  You can view the details in my last blog post.  Go on, there is still plenty of time to enter!  Oh, and just a hint for those of you have […]

Sometimes…in the middle of a cold, dark Michigan winter…I walk into a client’s home…and find a spot of natural light heaven… And…I am in heaven. I love creating and using artificial light, but there is just something about beautiful natural light…on an equally beautiful and fun family.

Just a little smattering of what I have been up to lately…

I know. The hair. IS FREAKING ADORABLE. I have never seen a child with so much hair…let alone a six month old!! I last photographed her when she was a newborn…so fun to work with this beautiful family again! Towards the end, we headed into a little market that they frequent often.  Love the shots […]
