Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice {Grand Rapids newborn baby photographer}

Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people. They are born with a little bit of Angelshine about them. ~Alan Marshall Beck~

Having two girls of my own I am very partial to little girls and all the fun that comes with them and just loved this little cutie.

Good Day! {Grand Rapids Newborn baby photographer}

Today was a great day! My shooting days always leave me feeling exhilarated. I had two beautiful little baby's to create portraits of today and they were just amazing - so beautiful, so sweet and so lovely. I am going to post a sneak peek of little Noah first (don't worry Thea, your beautiful Michah is next.) :)

A few years ago I shot Noah's parents wedding and just love his Mom & Dad. His Mommy is one of the sweetest, down to earth girls I know and she is just drop dead gorgeous to boot and his Daddy is funny, sarcastic and not to bad to look at either. :)

Alexis & Jay - so great to see you today in parent mode - just adorable. Noah is one lucky little guy. Congrats.

Happy New Year! {Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer}

Wow - so hard to believe that its already the end of January. I still feel like I am cleaning up Christmas wrapping paper.

New Years Eve is not my favorite holiday. I always feel like I should be doing something wild & crazy, all dressed up and partying until wee hours in the morning. To be quite honest after all the holiday hustle & bustle and with Michigan being like the arctic tundra all I really want to do is curl up on the couch in my pj's with a good book and a nice warm cup of hot cocoa.

So when Jessie contacted me about shooting her New Years Eve wedding I was thrilled to not have to actually worry about what I was doing to celebrate New Years. I had a built in party to go to and since I wear my "black uniform" to weddings I didn't even have to worry about what to wear - bonus.

I had a great time documenting the festivities and just love working with couples like Jessie & Travis. They braved a number of super cold situations just for the sake of some really fun photos. Not to mention that they (and all their friends and relatives) partied until the cows came home - because I am sure that must be how long you party in Chesaning Michigan.

Last post until after the New Year {Grand Rapids Children's Photographer}

I am so thankful to all of my wonderful clients. 2009 has been by far one of the busiest years I have had to date and I owe it all to the amazing families & couples that have chosen me to document the important moments in their life. I am in awe that you allowed me to preserve a chunk of your family history. With all my heart I adore all of you and thank you so much for letting me into your lives.

I have been terrible at keeping up with my blog the last couple of months because I really want everyone to have their photos, albums, canvases, etc. asap and blogging takes my time away from that.

So, if you haven't seen your beautiful face on my blog it will be coming in the new year when the winter lull hits.

This was my last session of the year and it was with an amazing client that I have been working with for the last few years. Her children are adorable and if you didn't know she was their Mom you would probably think they were hanging out with an uber stylish, super gorgeous older sister. She asked me to snap a few shots of her during their session and I was all about it. I jokingly told her that if I looked like she did I would probably be tempted to send out Christmas cards with just my photos on them. :)

So for now this will be my last blog post of 2009. Looking forward to sharing a few fun new products & ideas for 2010.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Crazy Cool Hair {Grand Rapids Children's Photographer}

Is this little guys' hair just the best ever? I am so glad I was able to capture him while he still had it. I saw him recently and Mom & Dad gave him a haircut. :(

I have to hand it to his Dad for really making this session shine. He jumped, ran, peek a booed, etc. until I am sure he was just sweating to really bring out his little guys fun loving personality. I just love to see families in love with their children and this Mom & Dad clearly are. What a blessing to grow up in a home filled with so much love.

If you know me at all you know that I absolutely looooove the color orange so I was so excited with what they wore!

Loving the Beautiful Fall Weather {Grand Rapids Children's and Family Portrait Photographer}

I am just loving the beautiful late Fall weather we have been having. It is such a treat to be able to shoot outside on location this time of year. I love the hats & adorable outfits these little munchkins had for their shoot. Their Mom warned me that her middle boy might be challenging and I was pleasantly surprised that he was a gem and that we got along great! Wouldn't you just kill for amazing curls and highlights like this little girl has. Just stunning.
