Parker turns ONE | Manchester, MI Family Photography

Wow, I can't believe a whole year has passed and little Parker is now one! Where did the time go? The first photo up above is from his newborn shoot and then beside it is his big boy one year photo.
Parker is so sweet and loving. When I first arrived to his house he blew me a kiss, awww yes, he melted my heart. We had such a fun afternoon...making animal noises, silly faces, and lots of laughing...my kind of session!!!
Thank you mom and dad for letting me capture Parker's one year photos. And thank you for the yummy deli sandwich from Mike's Deli, it was AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see you guys again =) XOXO

Finally...TWO PINK LINES!!! | Personal

I can't hold our secret in any longer...We are PREGNANT!!!! Our little sweet pea is due January 19th, 2012. I'll be nine weeks on Thursday and we have already had two ultrasounds done. Baby is doing good with a heartbeat at 171. Ahhh, that felt so good to let it all out! We are so excited to be adding to our little family.
Our son, Braeden, will be ten next month and yes that's a huge gap but it is what it is. We have been trying years for this baby and I don't care that I'm starting all over (I hear a lot of this already). I think we are more prepared now in our thirties then we were in our early twenties but we managed to raise one AWESOME boy!!!
I feel so much different w/ this pregnancy than I did w/ Braeden. First, I don't even feel pregnant at all. No morning sickness and I'm not tired. With Braeden I was so sick. I lost 20 lbs, had to be put in the hospital b/c I couldn't stop throwing up and I was tired all the time. I just pray that I don't get any morning sickness but I don't mind getting tired...I LOVE naps!
Now the countdown continues until we find out the gender of this baby. Grandma Lori already has her basketball team of boys...Now, she needs her cheerleader! No matter the gender, we just want our baby to be a healthy one =)

Jamy turns SIX | Paulding, OH Children Photography

I'm not going to lie, I was a tad bit emotional when I was editing these images of Jamy. I started photographing this family when Jamy was 2-1/2 years old and her baby sister was only five days old. It's been such an honor to watch these girls grow and capture their little lives through my lens.
I'll never forget the second session, Jamy told me to leave...hahaha!!! I think her mom wanted to crawl in a hole b/c she was embarrassed but kids are kids and they tell you what's exactly on their mind. After that session Jamy and I became friends. She always gives me the details of her birthday party and is such a story teller.
I can't believe she's going to be six. Where did the time go?
Thank you so much Miss Jamy! It truly has been an honor to watch you grow. I hope your birthday is the best and you get everything you want!!!! XOXO

The Marckel Family | Defiance, OH Family Photography

I had such a blast with this family! They had me laughing the whole time. The boys were quite the jokesters which made the session so fun =)
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and I hope you like your images.

Brandon + family | Paulding, OH Family Photography

What a fun family to hang out with! I definitely had a blast with them. Good thing I brought my son, Braeden, to keep little Blake laughing. Actually he had all the kids laughing and the adults...lol!
Thank you guys for a wonderful afternoon =)

Ashlyn | Cincinnati, OH Newborn Photography

Last month I traveled to Cincinnati, OH to photograph this sweet baby girl. She definitely could sense me and did not want to give me any sleepy pictures...well that was till the end, she finally gave up. She was such a joy to photograph!
Thank you mom and dad for letting me meet your beautiful daughter and capture some precious images.
