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

We go back.  Way back.  As far back as I can trace my Michigander citizenship…2007.   One of the coolest families EVER. We’ve been through blood, sweat, and tears taking extended family pictures, getting married, and having babies.  You know…the biggest moments in their life.  And no, I wasn’t really there for ANY blood…or the actual […]

Audrey Woulard.  Pretty sure she was my sole inspiration for child photography when I was starting out.  I’m also pretty sure that every portrait photographer in the country (and half of the world) knows who Audrey Woulard is.  I loved her work.  I wanted to BE her.  She is an amazing photographer with a very […]

christmas is a comin quick and i’m supposed to be winding down, but it seems things keep spiraling upwords instead. that may be partly due to the fact that our entire basement FLOODED this week…grrrr, ergh, sigh, and a big old UGH. at least i have little faces like this to look at. it makes […]

what a lovely little day down at eastern market in detroit. we photographed here the weekend before thanksgiving and it was CRAZY busy with all sorts of fun vendors along the streets. what to do? yup, let’s jump right in there and join the fun!

we’ve got a contest up over on our boka studios blog and today is the last day for voting. if you have a wee second to spare, head on over and throw in your vote! and now for a perfect little family of three in some perfect evening light…

not many words, just lots and lots and lots of pictures of some fabulous people. here’s what i have been up to in the last week…ish. wee one #1 to my friends (and neighbors) in these next pics…please love me after posting these first two…i just LOVE that it screams this-is-our-crazy-but-so-much-fun-life-with-all-boys, because i can SOOOO […]

all right mommy of this session…you can rest easy. as we battled through cold, wind, and rain, she was wondering if any of the pictures would even turn out. well, turns out that when i got them home and started looking, i was in love with their session…not just a few…but the whole dang thing! […]

i hung out with them last year, and last year again, and once again, we had a blast giggling, finding caterpillars, teasing dad, and giggling some more.

just noticed that all three sessions i am posting from the past few days are families of three. cute little families of three… cute familiy 1… cute family 2… cute family 3…
