I had the pleasure to photograph this beautiful family that I attend church with, a couple weeks ago! They were so fun to work with. I love their clothing choice (color pallet). I am anxious for them to see the rest of their photographs from their session. They took advantage of my one hour session for $30. Great investment and they have so many photographs to choose from! Thanks again for having me capture this time in your life!

Caia- SMCC 2013

Senior session at the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed photographing this beautiful Senior. I have known Caia since birth (we're technically related)! Enjoy your very last year of high school,- it goes by so fast. Continued success at Northern Michigan- you'll do great!

The "Little" Loves of My Life

 

My husband, sons and I welcomed our daughter (their sister), Alison Joy, into the world on Saturday, August 25, 2012. Ali weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 in long. She is such a blessing in our lives. So glad to have our family complete now! I am so thankful God chose me to be their Mom!!

The Williamson Wedding

 

 

 

Saturday, June 16th, Jason and Amanda finally tied the knot! My husband has known the groom, Jason, since they were little boys. Adam was asked to be the Best Man and I was asked to photograph their joyous day. Congrats to the two of you finding each other and become husband and wife. Best wishes in the years to come!

Congrats Jen & Steve!

 

My family was invited to the wedding of a friend of mine from high school back in May 2012. My parents watched our boys so my husband and I could have a "date." Even though I was not the official photographer, I was armed with my Nikon for the celebration. I was able to capture some great moments from Jen and Steve's beautiful wedding. I did have permission to post these pictures :)  I am so happy for this new little family. Congrats to the three of you and best wishes in your future.

Jason Loves Amanda

I am currently processing this couple's wedding photographs!! That got me thinking (and searching my blog) that I didn't blog their engagement session photos that were taken back in October 2011. Jason and Amanda also wanted me to take some updated family pics since these two families would soon become one family. A big congrats to them!!

The "M" Family

I was asked to take these photos back in December of 2011 and am just now adding these here. Guess it's never to late to blog these. I was asked to take these as the "M" family got together to celebrate Christmas together. I was able to photograph the entire family, a couple of the smaller families and a few singles of the girls. These are just a few from the afternoon.

Little Ballerina

 

My niece took her very first year of ballet lessons this year (2011-2012). I was able to watch her last recital back in May in my home town. My sister asked me if I'd like to do her dance pictures. You didn't need to ask this aunt twice. We went to a local park and got a few on that very warm day in May. These are a few of my personal favorites.

{Sadie} 2012 JCHC

 

 

I was asked to take my step-niece's senior pictures a couple weeks ago. We were blessed to have done this session at a home of a lady I attend church with. Loved her place- lots of unique locations/props to choose from. Here's just three. At another date, we will finish with some in studio shots. Best of luck at your final year at Jay County High School Sadie!

'11-'12 School Portraits

 

Who isn't tired of the "typical" school photograph? Well, we took advantage of a beautiful Sunday afternoon in October to visit Foster Park in Fort Wayne, IN. These are the girls 2011-2012 School Pictures! It was hard for me to choose a single picture of each young lady. Have a great school year girls!

The Beautiful "M" Family

 

 

I had the privilege to photograph this beautiful family (we attend church together) early in the month of October. We visited the State Park close to my studio. We all had a great time!! The girls couldn't of been any cuter. Thanks so much "M" family for having me capture this chapter in your lives!
