I had so much fun with this couple (and grandma- and aunt-to-be, who came along for the ride!). The thought and effort they put into making sure their session was perfect tells me everything I need to know about the kids of parents they’ll be . Best of luck on your new baby boy, C Family!

They brought mom’s favorite book from childhood to read to the baby. Words cannot express how much I love this idea …

They ROCK!

Sometimes you meet people who are photogenic, adorable, sweet, funny and just generally rockstars – and the Matzkin-Bridger family happens to fall into all of those categories! I loved seeing them again for a little spring-time fun (and congrats to them for being runners-up in our Cutest Kid Contest!). Enjoy your sneak peek, guys!

Family Fun!

It was great to see this adorable family again and spend a Saturday morning with them at a beautiful location! As with all my favorite sessions, we ran around and just had a blast. They love each other; I documented it. Enjoy your sneak peek, Kotila Family!

All three kiddos:

Love the way their outfits coordinated …

13 Months

This 13 month-old little lady was so, so happy and sweet at her session. I pretty much wanted to scoop her up and take her home with me; she was that adorable. Check out this sneak peek of Miss M!

Five Adults, Three Kids, One Baby Bump, One Dog

My co-worker Alina wanted some shots of her whole family, and what a fun group they were! Gotta love little boys, proud moms and dads, everyone’s favorite aunt, and a very handsome doggie. Thanks for having me out, Pabin family, I had a blast!

Of course I got some more “traditional” shots of the whole group, BUT I loves me some chaos at a family session, and to me this first shot is pretty much perfect!

Ganging up on Aunt Alina. Whose idea was that?!?!

Photogenic ladies!

Two!

This little man was a bundle of energy and fun at his two-year session on Sunday … and I. Love. It .

We had a gorgeous morning and managed to capture some shots of his mom, dad, and soon-to-be baby brother or sister, too! Enjoy your sneak peek, G family – and best of luck with baby #2 in July!

What a handsome little guy!

The session was over and we were walking back to the car. Yes – they seriously look this cute just walking to their car!

Spring Vacay: Just a Few

TSP — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:18:35 +0000

We went to Traverse City a few weeks ago, and came back feeling refreshed and ready to take on busy season! Here are just a few of our favorite shots … Now the only question is, where should we go on our NEXT vacation?

She seems to have a lot of personality. Not sure where she gets it from?

Is it just me, or is this guy astonishingly handsome?

Mark and I, doing what we do …

My kids needs a 12-step program for petting farms …

Local Lovin’: My Jenna Kator Bag

TSP — Tue, 01 May 2012 01:40:06 +0000

In this edition of Local Lovin’, I want to tell the world that I am MADLY in love with my new purse. I was in desperate need of a larger handbag, and I wanted something affordable, practical and stylish, and not TOO big. And then I found out I could have ALL those things and support a Michigan-based company at the same time. Say what? It doesn’t get any better. And since I purchased mine at La Roche Artifacts in downtown Royal Oak, I was able to support not one, but TWO local business. Win, win, win. Love it.

I got the “Corktown” and could not be happier. Isn’t is fabulous? Thanks to the Jenna Kator Collection for a fabulous, functional product …

Please Don’t Show Our Moms

TSP — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:59:00 +0000

We recently went to a local park to snap some shots of our kids for Mother’s Day gifts (side note: It’s not too late to purchase TSP gift cards for mom in any denomination, and therefore become her favorite child ).

Which one should we choose to use as gifts? Because one of them is definitely gonna make it onto a mug – LOL! P.S. Our moms aren’t on the web much, so this whole “showing the images before Mother’s Day” thing shouldn’t be a problem … that being said, please don’t show Joanne or Rita Lou if you happen to run into them!

Jude is Two!

TSP — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:36:09 +0000

You probably remember this adorable redhead from his one-year session, or maybe his six-month session, or even his newborn session (which was one of our very first paid shoots!). Jude and his parents are a dream to photograph and always bring fun and laughter to their sessions. Thanks for sticking with us, Hansen family – it was great to see you as always, and we hope you love your sneak peek!
