Pungs....

Last week I went to the Pungs farm to take pictures. Dan and Jane had move an old barn from Dan's Mom's home to their home and cleaned it up. It is just beautiful inside. They did a great job on it! We took pictures inside of the barn, the lighting was great, which made me happy. All of you photographers know what I am taking about! Thanks Pung family for asking me to take your photographs! I will let you know when the other pictures are ready for viewing.

Sweet little ones...

I drove out to Williamston to take pictures for Jennifer and her new baby Anabelle. She is such a sweetheart, but didn't want to sleep much for us. But that is ok, I am sure as soon as I left she slept the rest of the day. lol While I was there I took a few pictures of Scarlett. What a doll she was. She was a bit shy and wanted daddy and mommy at her side, but after a while I got her to warm up :) Just as I was leaving she actually wanted her picture taken! And the boys are just as cute as can be too! What a beautiful family you have Craig and Jennifer, thanks for welcoming me into your home.

The Spitzley Family....

I can't believe this is the 3rd year I have taken Renee and Mike's family picture! This kids have grown so much. We got some great shots near the flower gardens at the Spitzley's house. Thanks for letting me take your pictures again guys! You have a beautiful family!!

The Schneider Family....

Thanks to Dave and Sandy Spitzley for letting us use your beautiful wooded area, near the river. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous driving down. I was afraid I would end up driving into the river! But once we got down there, it was beautiful and worth driving down the steep hill. I made Jerry, Kay and the kids walk out on to the rocks that were in the river to get a good shot! Not easy in heels, just ask Kay! Thanks for having me capture your family photo!

Tara's workshop

I went to an awesome workshop at the end of June. It was in Sequim, Washington, about 2 hours from Seattle. Tara Staton held the workshop, it was her first and she did an awesome job. I learned so much! And it was great to meet such an wonderful group of ladies. We all had such a good time! I loved shooting in such a different setting than Michigan. We could see the mountains in the background (you just don't have that in Michigan) and walk over a hill and have a beautiful view of the ocean! I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to edit very many of the pictures. So I decided to just post a few everyday. Here are two of our awesome models....

Tessa....

I am doing a few sessions for Tessa. This was our "wild flower field" session. We are doing 2 sessions, because Tessa loves me so much! :) Not sure if I am feeling the love, Tessa took Jill and I on an adventure. Let's see...first she took us to a spot where I was told I was standing in poison ivy, then we drove through an area of their property that had extremely high grass (Jill and I thought we were in Africa, not Westphalia), then we were attacked by mosquitoes. But in the end, we had a great time, after all the swearing from the bugs attacking us!! lol
Thanks for the fun night, can't wait to see what happens on the urban session!!

Kendalyn...

You may remember Kendalyn from a few months ago. She was one of the sweet babies I took pictures of! I am proud to say she is my niece (ok... my great niece)! She is the such a little peanut, and sweet as can be! Makes me want a baby in the house again! Thanks for driving all the way out here Kristin, so I could cuddle with her a bit!

Lauren....

I had such a great time at Lauren's session. She is such a beautiful girl! We did a little bit of everything...floral gardens, urban fun, a grassy field with off camera flash. (complete with a personal gator ride from my niece Nicole! Thanks Nicole) I got some fantastic images, I hope you like Lauren! Thanks again for choosing me to shoot your senior session!!

Finally a sneak peak for Jordan and Becky! I had a great time at Jordan and Becky's wedding. They had a beautiful day for a wedding. My favorite part of the wedding, was seeing how in love Becky and Jordan were. Every time they looked at each other they both just beamed! It was just so sweet. The reception was so much fun. They had dueling pianos for the entertainment. It was a great time, so many people were dancing. And the guys from Aces Wild Entertainment were awesome!! Joe and Nate, you are so incredibly talented! It was also fun to work with Paul and Pam Martin from Martin Video again. Becky, I have to say, your new husband sure can dance! Congratulations to the both of you. Thanks for letting me capture this special day for you, it was an honor.
