One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is getting to meet such great people. This past weekend I got to meet a brand new family. Although I got a bit lost getting to the park (George George Park), it was SO worth it when I got there. The park is gorgeous!

We had an amazing day outside – perfect weather! When I first said hi to Zach he seemed a bit shy but as soon as I asked him about his pirate party and the Detroit Tigers, he was ok!

This was such a fun family to work with and I hope that I get to see them all again soon!

Enjoy the preview!

Meet Zach!

He’s going to be THREE!

So stinking cute!

Such a handsome little man.

GQ right there.

Love all his different faces

Love these! He just loved being in his Tigers Jersey!

Love.

Look at his eyes! So blue!

We had to get his baby sister in some too!

The whole fam!

Love these!!

Daddy and his girl.

So sweet

Love this image!

And, of course, Mommy and her boy

Thank you to this wonderful family! I had a blast at the park and hope to see you guys soon! Happy Birthdays all around!

I love being the only girl AND the baby in my family but there are times I truly wished that my parents had just one more baby – but only if it was a girl. I am now lucky enough to have three fabulous sister-in-laws but I think growing up with a sister would have been a blast.

I say all this because this past weekend I had the opportunity to photography Meghan and Mady. The occasion was that Mady was turning four BUT I grabbed a lot of sister photos as well. The two of them are insanely cute and just about the sweetest little things. They instantly pose for the camera (due to their mom) and listen to everything and anything I have to say.

It was so fun exploring the backyard, riding on the bike and checking out their very cool bedrooms.

I hope you enjoy the preview!!

So much fun!

SUCH a little cutie!

Very much loving the fact that everything is green and pretty again.

<3 sisters <3

Love all those missing teeth!

Mady is four!!

Love that they have this shed in their backyard!

So much fun showing off their rooms!

Sisterly love

These girls are just so much fun!

Thank you once again to this wonderful family for allowing me into your home! Can’t wait to see you guys again soon!!

It’s honestly not that often that I get the time to photograph my beautiful nieces. Since moving out to the Royal Oak area I don’t see them as much as I did before and you can tell. I don’t post as many photos of them anymore!

Well, Gabby turned two in February and I was determined to grab some two year photos along with some family photos. This past week I had the perfect opportunity and the weather was PERFECT.

To say that I love this family is quite the understatement. All of them honestly mean the world to me and I cannot imagine my life without any of them in it.

I hope you enjoy the preview!!

Some daddy/daughter time

She may be a bit of a stinker but she sure is cute!!

What makes Gabby smile? All you need to say is ‘Gross’!

She just has the sweetest little personality (most of the time).

Nothing is better than sisters <3

Little Gabbster was not a fan of holding hands!

LOVE this family.

What the stinking cute?!

Sporting the new summer cut! Cannot believe she is turning FIVE this summer!

She is such a star.

I mean seriously… my TOP TOP TOP fav.

All this cuteness in just 30 minutes.

The ‘I’m done’ face.

Such a fun time with some of my favorites!

LOVE you guys!

It’s one of my favorite families again!! There really isn’t enough to say about how awesome this family is. Maddie and Matteo are two of the cutest and sweetest kids and I am so lucky to see them for all their big birthdays.

This past weekend was all about Matteo! He is almost one year old! I cannot believe it! I remember taking his newborn photos like it was yesterday. He has become such a little man with such a fun personality.

Maddy was out sick this time but I look forward to seeing her and the whole family again soon!!

Matteo’s newborn, three month and six month

Matteo turns one!!

Such a little man!

LOVE the balloons!!

Love.

How can you not be happy with balloons?!

Love this.

LOVE the ’1′ on the basketball!

Such a happy kid!

<3

Some daddy and son time

Happy Birthday, Matteo!!

Thank you to this wonderful family for allowing me to keep taking photos of your adorable kids!!

I seriously think I hit the jackpot with clients. This past weekend I got the chance to photograph the coolest, sweetest, most awesome family. They got recommended from another awesome client so I pretty much knew I was going to get along with them.

We had talked about doing photos inside but we decided to do them at Beverly Park. At the time they booked the session my thoughts went straight to snow and winter and bundled up shots. Well, on Saturday, it was about 40 some degrees with nothing but sunshine. In the middle of winter we were able to get a spring like photo shoot! I was so excited about the weather!!

Not only was the weather awesome – this session was. It was a three year, family, maternity session all rolled into one! We were able to grab so many different and fun shots – I didn’t want to stop! Can’t wait to see this wonderful family again – with their new bundle of joy!!

Enjoy the preview!

The beautiful family.

I just LOVE it!

How ADORABLE is this three year old!

LOVED this family!

<3

So excited for the new baby!!

So in love with this one!

She was just a little model!

Such a beautiful mom to be!

Daddy and his daughter.

A little mommy and daughter time.

SO cute!!

They were on fire with the family photos!!

<3 baby makes four <3

Thank you SOOOO much to this wonderful family! I had such a blast on an unseasonably warm winter day! Good luck with everything and can’t wait to see you all with your new bundle of joy!

Repeat clients always make me smile. It gives me a chance to see the little ones grow and I’m able to catch up on everything that’s been going on in their lives. This family is one of the kindest I have ever worked with. As I’ve said before, I graduated High School with Ellison’s mommy and this was my third time capturing the special moments in their life. I have been lucky enough to do Ellison’s newborn photos, six month photos and now her big first year photos.

One year photos might be my very favorite. I pretty much know that they will always involve the cutest little outfits, balloons and of course, cake. Add some snowy photos and this mad for a pretty amazing session. Ellison has such a personality now and is giving her parents a run for their money. She is very active and is interested in everything around her.

Ellison and I had an epic ‘Hi’ off (one of her favorite words) and she showed me all around her house. When it came to digging into the cupcake she had no problem whatsoever. She LOVED it! This session in one word was FUN!

Enjoy the preview!

What dat?

Adore.

She is so stinkin cute.

Yep. They are a pretty gorgeous family.

Running away from mom and dad – and me

Ran to her room … <3

LOVED this as soon as I saw it in the camera.

I’m sorry – I just had to post all five of these. She was SO cute!

After she got cleaned up we had to go play in the snow for a little while!

She was totally digging the snow!

So stinkin cute – I think I told them that about 100 times.

<3 it.

Thank you so much, one again, to this wonderful family! It is always such a joy to catch up and see Ellison grow!
