Kristine & her family {Howell Michigan Family Photographer}

Kristine was referred to me by Julie - thank you!  The day of our shoot, it was cold and rainy...and I didn't think we'd be able to do our shoot...but Kristine said, "no problem!  We have a barn!" 

I had so much fun with them!

Here's a sneak peek - a few more will be up tomorrow!

Storyboards/Collages {Michigan Family Children Photographer}

Several people have contacted me with regards to the collage that I made for Courtney & Nara.

Storyboards are a great way to share multiple photos with friends and family, all while sticking to your budget.

Storyboards can be made in various sizes, however, I think that the bigger, the better, because you can include *more* photos and it looks great on your walls!

Here is another example of a storyboard (this is 11x14):

Beckie's Beautiful Children!

On Saturday, my friend Beckie came out to Brighton to have me snap some shots of her children, Elinor (Ellie) and Joseph (Joe).  Joe and Nicholas are weeks apart in age...and it was so cute when Joe was asking "Where's Nicholas?"  Both of her children are SO smart, so well-behaved, and so photogenic!

Crystal & Colten...an old friend and a new one!

One of my friends from High School contacted me through Facebook to see if I'd be interested in taking pictures of her, and her little boy...of course I said yes!

They were SO much fun to work with!  Colten was full of energy, and yet VERY well behaved!  Let's just say it was much easier to photograph him than MY two boys, that's for sure!

Crystal - I hope you like these - my favorite is one of the last ones we took - can you spot it?

 

More of the Barb bunch!

More of Julie and her beautiful family! I had so much fun with them!

Twins times two, oh my!

I had the privilege of shooting my friend Julie and her family yesterday evening, for one of my practice sessions.

What a GORGEOUS family!

Julie - here's a sneak peek (because I know you're probably up!) and I'll load more tomorrow!

My favorite little blond boy!

Noah is my friend, Chrissy's son.  We met online and she just so happens to live near Ann Arbor, so...over the last two year's, we've had the opportunity to get together frequently.  As a result, Noah and Nicholas are good buddies!

Noah has THE blondest hair I've EVER seen, and GORGEOUS blue eyes!

We met up at a small local orchard to snap a few pictures of Noah and these are my favorites!

 

Building my portfolio...

Many people have asked me if I they could pay me to take pictures of them and their family.

I'm very, very flattered, as I'm still a bit new to the photography world.  For this reason, I am not charging any fees at the moment, though I am taking donations! ;-)

What I *am* doing is portfolio building sessions, so if you would like to help me build my portfolio, please contact me (contact information is to the right) and we can schedule a session.

I will then share your pictures on my blog, and provide you with a disc containing images that I select, along with a release so you can print them/share them electronically.

My Little Monkey!

I LOVE this picture of Nicholas...it was taken while at the Cincinnati Zoo's HallZOOween event!  Isn't he cute?  Just LOOK at those eyelashes & eyebrows!  Do you know any other two-year olds with hair and/or eyebrows like that???

Fun with Stephanie's Family at Potter Park

My friend Stephanie volunteered to be a 'test subject' for me...her boys are SO photogenic and were SO much fun!  Connor even gave me some suggestions on how to take his picture!

The family was up for some fun!

 

I love this one of the boys!
