Water For Africa Mini: Teed Girls

Here are some lovely ladies who came out for the fundraising Mini Sessions on June 1st. It was a great time. Thank you, Teed Family, for your donation to help get clean water wells to African families; it was so appreciated!

I am so glad to have met these little misses!

Finally Spring!

This year's Spring, for outdoor photography, was almost a complete loss! The weather was just awful...one day of sun, three days of rain, two days of snow and then back to sun....sigh. Finally, at the end of May, we hit a great weekend! I had to drive to Ohio to get it, but it was a pleasure meeting up with the Teagues again!

I was so glad we were able to get together for another session...and that the weather cooperated. I cannot believe how much these two have grown since last year!

As they have grown in size, so have they grown in love...

even during the not-so-happy times.

Somehow, we were always able to turn those frowns upside down.

Thanks again, Natalie and Josh, for allowing me to work with your family! It is always so much fun. Enjoy and have a fun filled Summer!

Seventh Heaven: Mommy & Me Giveaway Winner!

Congratulations to the Mullins Family, for adding one more little bundle of joy to their brood!

They are finding themselves in Seventh Heaven. :D

What a day we had! Finding shelter from the wind, crossing our fingers that the rain would blow over, and then sunshine to finish up. Such a crazy Michigan Spring it has been! However, it did not dampen the children's spirits any.

or even their parents'....

And even amongst all that, we were able to capture some precious moments too.

I cannot wait to meet sweet little baby girl Mullins in a few weeks. Good luck with the transition, guys! May you all be joyfully blessed! And a big thanks to my assistant Emily! Couldn't have done it without you!

Welcome Baby Charlie!

Thank heaven for little girls...they are too adorable!

And thank heaven for patient Moms and Dads.

For they make my job even easier.

Meet Little Miss Charlie.

sweet slumber

What a little sweetheart Charlie is! I could not get over how awake she was for being so small.

She loved showing off her eyes.

hello, big world

And snuggling with mommy. She finally got cozy and settled.

Then, she snuggled with some of her special friends...

Finally, she was a snug as a bug in a rug.

perfectly peaceful

Before I left, we even got to see a smile come out. That always makes my day! And of course,

GO BLUE!

hail to the victors

Thank you to Mike and Joana for allowing me to spend a little time with your precious princess!

She is absolutely perfect!

Welcome Baby Comben.

Waiting...it is not always what it is cracked up to be.
Surprise...now that is worth waiting for.

mom & dad awaiting their surprise

Meet Jess and Matt. They know all about waiting vs. surprise. They waited nine months to find out the sex of their baby...what troopers! And I had the pleasure of meeting their new little one of few weeks ago. Please help me welcome Master Ben.

sweet slumber

What a sweetheart he is! On the day of the shoot, he was so snuggly and content, even though he had a little bit of a tough time adjusting to his new surroundings during the photo session...
