This sweet baby girl came to visit me again.  This is the same baby on my blog header with the black hat.  I get comments on that image all the time and she is one of the first babies you see when you enter my studio.  Well, here is what she looks like now!  She is her mom’s mini me.  :-)





OK, here it is!  I have been asked many times to offer something for pets.  This is a special promotion to raise donations for two fabulous organizations!  This is going to be a blast!  I expect this to fill up fast so schedule your session now.





came to celebrate his first birthday!  G sat and stared at me with his amazing eyes…I think he thought I was a little crazy!  My little helpers for the day really helped keep G happy and focused.

He finally ventured away from mom and even forgot she was in the room for a few minutes!

Crying into his blanket was just too cute not to photograph!





My own dog is so annoying at times, but we all just love her so much! I don’t have any recent photos Zoe to show you - she normally looks like a little orphan dog anyway lol.  But, I DO have some other pets to show you.  Recently, I invited some pets to come model for an upcoming pet special.  Here are some of the images:





You are about to fall in love and turn into a puddle of total mush!  C is so adorable and I always have a blast photographing her!

I photographed Miss C as a favor for a friend so I am going to post a ton of her!  You might remember her since I photographed her birth and have many photos of her all over my blog.  She is so cute I can’t stop looking at her!

See, aren’t you in love?!  I told you so!!  :-)





Mark and I went to Michigan for a few days and visited Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island.

We walked down this pier and we were COVERED with bugs.  It was so gross!  I took this with my baby camera.

The view from our hotel.

One of the entry ways for Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island

There are no cars on the island.  Only horses and lots of bicycles.

Fudge shops literally lined the streets everywhere!

Almost everywhere we walked was uphill.

I think this is the post office.

I think they are serious!  This is the sign for the Grand Hotel.

The Grand Hotel

We found a remote spot walking the back streets that had the most amazing view!

I concur!

This guy seemed confused as to why people were watching him make fudge lol.

Mark took this on the ferry ride back to Mackinaw City.  The ride was SO windy, choppy and COLD.  I was afraid to move so he took a photo of the bridge for me.





These things are seriously amazing!  The photo below doesn’t really show how gorgeous the mural is, but everyone comments on it when they walk into the studio.  It’s big and it’s vibrant.  You should come by and see it!





OK, I couldn’t resist the title!  D’s mom wanted some vintage style portraits of her little cutie so we had a lot of fun playing this day.  There is just something about 3 year old little boys that is so much fun!  They like to be silly and play, but they don’t require all the frilly stuff.  :-)





Teresa is one of my senior reps and did such an amazing job modeling for me!  She is a natural in front of the camera and just stunning.  I can’t wait for her outdoor session!
