Ben’s 9 month sneak peek | Michigan Portrait Photographer
February 3, 2012
This is Ben. Ben has amazing blue eyes. Ben is a charmer. Ben can brighten your day. Those are all facts. I love when I get to photograph my clients for their first year of life. I feel very close to them and it’s such a pleasure to watch these little one grow! For Amy & Mike, little Ben is definitely growing! I am sure he will take after his dad in the height department. You can’t tell, but Mike is basically doing wall squats in their family shot so Amy and Ben don’t feel left out, Ha!
The D Family is one of my favs for sure!
Cade’s 3 month sneak peek | Michigan Baby Photography
February 2, 2012
Cade has such a wonderful and fun family! This time I had the opportunity to photograph Cade’s sister, Kennedy, her mom, step-dad, Cade’s mom, Julie and her husband all in one shoot! I need to have a brood like this at all my shoots, they were so helpful making Cade laugh and making their awesome Boston sit pretty.
I definitely made Cade quite tired by the end. He couldn’t keep his eyes open! A couple of my favs from the shoo have to be the ones of the owl hat. Cade wears it so well! I can’t wait for his next session in 3 months!
Hey! Look here! It’s Tyler & Catelynn from MTV’s Teen Mom!
January 26, 2012
Surprise! I had a secret shoot yesterday, but now I can reveal who my session was with! I had the opportunity to shoot Tyler Baltierra & Catelynn Lowell from MTV’s Teen Mom!!!!!! (Yes, it totally needed 6 exclamation points) These two are sooooooo cute together and really do make the perfect couple. They both compliment each other. We had a lot of fun during the shoot and chatted about everything from life, to buying a house, to the movie Bridesmaids. Tyler and Catelynn are very laid back and I’m so happy for their successes and am proud they are inspiring people everywhere. Tyler even tweeted my pic! Enjoy a little sneak peek from our session, but I can promise you there is MUCH more to come!

Tarah’s Maternity Session | Michigan Maternity Photographer
February 28, 2011
Tarah & Jason are expecting! Tarah and I have been friends forever it seems like, but we actually met when we were both planning our weddings. I am so lucky to have her in my life! I was ecstatic when Jason and Tarah became pregnant and I’ve been cheering her along the way and ready to welcome her into the mommyhood club. They are keeping the gender a surprise until the baby arrives, which I love. The interesting part? Jason is the only one that knows the gender! He has had a lot of pressure from family and friends to tell, but he’s stayed strong and has only told one other person…their cat, Ani!
Isn’t their nursery to die for? That is the neatest baby’s room I have ever seen. Their inspiration was the tree you see in Tarah’s B&W belly pic. Jason painted the trees freehand and made the room into a lovely forest retreat. What an AMAZING job!
Whether a girl or a boy, baby M is already loved so much already and I can’t wait to meet him/her!
Ethan’s Sneak Peek! | Michgan Family & Baby Photographer
February 16, 2011
What an amazing family! The G family was so fun to photograph and I am so happy to share in their joy with Ethan. This family loves sports so it’s no surprise Ethan, and even Paul and Shawna showed their favorite team colors. I love how I was able to capture the little tender moments – a father so proud of his son and a mother relishing the moments that pass by too quickly. That is family, and that is everyday life.
Paul and Shawna are such loving parents. You could tell right away they are totally dedicated to Ethan and he is the center of their world. Paul is the fun, doting dad and Shawna is one of the strongest women I have ever met. Through adversity, this family has only grown stronger and appreciative of each and every day.
Thank you G family for letting me capture your beautiful family – you are so blessed.
