Jackson Family | Harrison Twp., MI

I had been wanting to shoot an early morning beach session and was thrilled when the Jackson Family was up for it. I had photographed this family several times in the past and they have become one of my favorite families to photograph. We met at the beach at 7am and it was pretty chilly out! The twins were still kind of sleeping, lol, because it was so early. They soon perked up and had a lot of fun with the session and on the beach. Mom is pregnant and due in October but doesn't know the sex of the baby....but Dad does know! I thought that was pretty cool, though personally, it would drive me crazy to not know! lol So here are some of my favorite images from our early morning beach session :) Comment are always appreciated and if you'd like to book a beach session, contact me and we'll set it up! 

Maternity Monday | Clinton Township, MI Photographer

I met Kelly and her husband, Armando through a referral (thanks Tab!). Kelly was due in early August so we set up her maternity session for mid-July. Such a great and fun couple who were both very excited to meet their little man in a few short weeks! I just heard through the grapevine that Kelly and Armando welcomed their baby boy into the world a couple of days ago! I can't wait to meet the little guy :)

Rayce | Bloomfield Hills Newborn

Come meet baby Rayce! I initially met his amazing mom and dad when they contacted me to shoot their maternity session. Our session lasted around two-hours and we got some really great, creative shots. They met while fighting forest fires which I think is pretty cool! So I couldn't wait to meet their little man. I was ecstatic when I got the phone call that Rayce was here. I met baby Rayce when he was only 5 days old and he was a dream to photograph, hardly fussing at all and he truly seemed to love being outdoors. I loved all the props mom and dad wanted to incorporate into his newborn photos (especially Smokey the Bear!) and I can't wait until I get the opportunity to work with them again and watch Rayce grow :)

Maternity Monday | Shelby Township, MI Photographer

Gosh, the weekends go by so quickly and I am never ready for Monday morning to come. At least the sunrise is pretty and makes it a little more bearable. I had a busy weekend and it's definitely true that time flies when you're having fun. Saturday I went boating all day long. Literally, all day..from noon until 12:30am! It was a great time and I only got sunburned on my shoulder blades which feel like they are on fire. Ouch! Of course I had to burn the most inconvenient place where I can barely reach to put aloe on myself, ha ha!

Sunday I met a couple for a maternity session. This was my 5th maternity session in about a month or so. I really enjoy photographing maternity sessions and this one was just amazing. They had a lot of ideas of different poses, listened to my ideas, and they were so easy to talk to. And I loved the fact that they weren't afraid of getting dirty and were up for just about anything. We spent nearly two hours shooting in a gorgeous location and I couldn't wait to get home to go through the photos and share a sneak peak. So here you go! 

I told you they were amazing! :)  

Almost every shot turned out perfect, no joke! So now you can see why I can't wait to start editing this session!

Make your Monday a great one! 

Oh! And if you have a couple minutes to spare, I would greatly appreciate your vote for me for best portrait photographer in the Detroit A-List Contest. I came in 6th last year and I would love to beat that this year :) Right now I'm in 8th and every single vote counts! Thank you!!

Session "V"

I've finally finished editing the photos from a session I did less than two weeks ago (yay!). I am bringing the family the photo disk today and I am sure they'll be happy with the results. They've seen sneak peaks of some of the photos and were very happy with them and are very excited to see the rest. I made a slideshow as well for them. The above photo is one (of many!) from that shoot. Six-year old triplet boys and an absolute joy to work with! I can't wait until I get to work with this family again, they are great!
