SUMMER lovin'...

This summer I photographed some gorgeous couples, beautiful families & adorable kiddos. Here are some of my FAVORITE summer lovin' pics...















Corbin & Melinda are just picture perfect! Such a gorgeous couple and fun personalities. I enjoyed my session with them =) Can't wait till the next one...hint, hint...lol!

Here's one of my FAVORITE families to photograph...I LOVE hanging out with this family and watching the kids grow. They always make me feel welcome and are up for anything during the session. Even though it was a hot muggy evening we managed not to melt away and I captured some AMAZING photos!!

Here's another beautiful family! Little man was full of energy and the mosquitos were out biting...ouch! I managed to get in some shots and here's some of my favorites.

Here's that family again! This was actually our first session and dad couldn't make it b/c he was out in the fields farming. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these images! Who doesn't love an evening fire w/ some smores?!?!...and the lights, can't forget the lights...felt like fireflies in the air.
I can't believe summer is almost over with and the kids will be going back to school =(

Another one of my FAVORITE families!!! I LOVE photographing this family! Troy & Sarah are always smokin up the lens...lol!!! And I never know what I'm going to get with the kids, they are unpredictable BUT that's a PLUS!!! Little Sienna who never smiles for me actually gave me some smiles and Eve was being a little diva...lol! Hope you liked your sneak peek!

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 =)
