Sophia | Sterling Heights MI Newborn PhotographyJune 7th, 2011This family produces some gorgeous girls. Sophia (8 days) was beautiful, of course, but her big sisters at 6 and 4 were both adorable and so sweet. They were wonderful models and I can already see they will be mini-mommies to baby Sophia. This was also my quickest session ever (just under 2 hours) when [...] |

This family produces some gorgeous girls. Sophia (8 days) was beautiful, of course, but her big sisters at 6 and 4 were both adorable and so sweet. They were wonderful models and I can already see they will be mini-mommies to baby Sophia. This was also my quickest session ever (just under 2 hours) when normally newborn sessions last about 3 hours – a testament to how awesome these kiddos were to work with.
The V Family | New Baltimore MI Child PhotographyApril 7th, 2011I love this family. I’ve been photographing the VandeVeegaete family for a year now and I swear their boys are the sweetest little things in the world. That’s probably because their mom and dad are some of the nicest people I know. They are just so kind and I look forward to seeing them every [...] |

I love this family. I’ve been photographing the VandeVeegaete family for a year now and I swear their boys are the sweetest little things in the world. That’s probably because their mom and dad are some of the nicest people I know. They are just so kind and I look forward to seeing them every few months. Dad is a great chiropractor (I know from experience!!) If you are in the Grosse Pointe area, check out his practice. His facebook page is here.

Just a quick note from the studio. I asked on the facebook page yesterday if anyone would be interested in attending a fun summer picnic for all my clients. The response was very positive, so I am going to go ahead and plan. I think it will be awesome to see all my babies and families I’ve photographed in one place. We’d have food, games for the kids, parents can have first dibs then to sign up for the 2011 holiday mini sessions, and get a booking special. While everyone is there, I’m thinking about getting a group shot and pictures of the different age groups together. I’d also take some snapshots of all the guests and send you the pictures.
I just really want to put this together to show how much I appreciate you guys. I swear I have the best clients on Earth. I love all the babies and children I get the opportunity to play with. It is so special that you allow me into your lives to capture your memories. I truly am lucky to have all of you in my life. Thank you.
Now onto the Wozniak family…
A few weeks ago I spent the morning with this awesome family. The boys were so sweet and their parents are super cool. We went for a very natural look in these pictures and the big brother really hammed it up! So fun! If you are looking at the boys’ adorable tie-shirts, check out Lulubelle’s etsy page or her facebook page. Lindsay of Lulubelle offers so sweet accessories and clothes at awesome prices.

Abby is the daughter of one of my first friends, Amy. Amy, her twin sister, Tracy, and I lived across the street from each other growing up. They were my best friends and we spent every single day playing, especially in the summer. I have some of the best memories from then. We used to ride bikes, run through the sprinklers, play Barbies, house, and detectives… Amy would make us play horses. 
Now Amy has her own little girl and I hope she finds friends like we did. She is the sweetest, fiestiest little thing and a total lover. Meet Abby, 2 years old.
Eli and Isaac | Rochester MI Family PhotographyMarch 22nd, 2011Before I get to these adorable boys, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to see my booth at the Tummy to Toddler Expo yesterday.

Before I get to these adorable boys, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to see my booth at the Tummy to Toddler Expo yesterday. There was a huge turnout! Along with all the new families I met, about 15 current clients showed up with their babies. I can’t thank you enough for all your support. I’ll be posting pictures soon of the booth!
Now on to these two. I love these boys. Their family is filled with wonderful, sweet people. I met them last year and did 2 sessions with their family. Their mom and dad, along with their grandma, grandpa, aunt, and uncle, have been nothing but gracious and welcoming to me. I’m lucky to know them all. In a few months, these little guys will become big brothers as their mama is having her third baby. I cannot wait! Mom had the idea to do a few pictures in Eli’s superhero bedroom and I was pleasantly surprised at how adorable the room was. They did such an awesome paint job! Meet Eli and Isaac.
My FamilyMarch 8th, 2011I think most of you know bits and pieces about my family story, but I feel that when you know someone’s family, you can really understand that person. So I want to tell you about my very special family. We are very unique in that our circumstances are rare, but our relationships are even rarer. [...] |
I think most of you know bits and pieces about my family story, but I feel that when you know someone’s family, you can really understand that person. So I want to tell you about my very special family. We are very unique in that our circumstances are rare, but our relationships are even rarer.
I grew up the youngest of 3. The baby of the family. My mom and dad had my two sisters, Alyssa and Amy, and then I came as the surprise (the very special, wanted surprise!!). At the time, my sisters were 14 and 10 and my momma was having a baby at 40 (sorry, Ma!). When I was around 12, my parents divorced and each remarried in the next couple years. With that, I gained two stepsisters, a brother-in-law, 2 step-nieces (Shelby and Taylor, my newborn assistants), and a bunch of extended family.
A few years later, my baby brother was born. My buddy Luke. With 17 years between us, I felt like a little mommy to him and we immediately had an unspoken connection like I’d never known before. He was slightly attached to my hip, but I didn’t mind. Then along came “Little Buddy,” Blake, when I was 19. He was a ham since the day he was born and we love his wild, hilarious quirkiness. So here we were, Blake the youngest and Alyssa the oldest at 33.
Next came my niece, Gracyn. I’m sure you all have seen her before a million times as she is the most photogenic little girl ever (I can’t help but take a million pictures of her!). My brothers became “little uncles” at 3 and 1. And now, Alyssa and Amy are both pregnant. Amy is due to have her surprise baby on March 29th and Alyssa is having a boy in May.
The crazy things about my family are not the obvious things. It’s that our family has so much love, despite the circumstances. I couldn’t be happier than when I have all my family in the same room. The kids don’t understand that it isn’t exactly the norm to have a niece a couple years younger, or that their sisters are old enough to be their mothers. They don’t know that most kids don’t scour the fridge and play games at their dad’s ex-wife’s house, or that my grandpa isn’t really theirs, too. When you take away all outside views of oddness, it’s a simple purity that remains. A bit of innocence. Just plain unconditional love. I feel so lucky to have the family I do.
