Miss Riley is six months old!! She is one of our “The Adored Baby” babies. Beautiful girl who loves to stick out her tongue. We were all giggling at her as she insisted on sticking out her tongue almost the whole session.

I am so in love with these sweet photographs from this newborn session. There is something so magical and just so precious when I get to photograph these little angels. Little Elin is one week young!!

Elin tried out our new bonnet. Isn’t it just the sweetest thing!

This was our first time trying out our brand new prop….this adorable hammock. This is one of the hardest poses we have found to do…and do well and safely. So please do not try this at home. We had several pairs of hand spotting and making sure this little model was safe and sound. I adore this photograph….so pretty!!!

Pretty in Pink…and a little grin to top it off!!

What’s cuter than a baby in a basket?!?!

Bree & Chris {Kalamazoo Wedding Photographer}

Bree and Chris are a beautiful story of waiting for the “right one”….waiting for the one God had provided. Their story was so evident on their wedding day. I have known both of them through our church. This was an amazing wedding day watching two sweet people give their lives to each other, and then celebrate the day away with our Northbridge Church family.

The weather was less than ideal….cold and RAIN…lots of rain….but that sure did not diminish the feeling of love!!

Below are some highlights of the wedding day…and we also have a slideshow if you would like to see more!!

Giving the dress it’s moment in glory! Bree you looked amazing in this dress!!

Gorgeous details….

Chris and Bree chose to do the “First Look”… I love this moment of a wedding day when couples see each other for the first time. It is so emotional, sweet and priceless!

I love how he is checking out her dress….I think he approves.

Not the most ideal setting for a “First Look”….but we needed an outdoor covered area FAST, and this was Plan B….they didn’t seem to care that they were surrounded by picnic tables and rain!

My talented friend and fellow Downtown Kalamazoo business, Misty Blake of SYMMETRY HAIR DESIGN did Bree’s hair and makeup…she is so so so good.

It was POURING RAIN out during these shots. I stood in the rain holding a golf umbrella and my camera…and I was a little concerned that the rain would show up in the photos…but they did not, and so off we went getting these adorable images in the chilly rain. Its amazing what you can get in 10 minutes time.

This is one of my favorites!!

This bridal party was so colorful, kind and willing to be a little chilly to get these shots taken…thanks guys!!

Those umbrellas were not just cute…but turned out to be quite functional!!

Gorgeous girl….truly.

The boys found uses for the umbrellas as well!

I love how supported they were by their bridal party as they watched them do their first dance. This was a perfect wedding for me to kick off my 2012 wedding season.

Remember Kate? The gorgeous mommy to be session I did just recently? Well…she is now a mommy!! Meet Miss Chandler.
She was so fun to work with and such a sweet itty bitty thing. I am so in love with these images.

Pretty in Pink!

LOVE the chub of baby cheeks!

Mommy and Daddy are quite smitten with her.

I posted the image below (the left one) on Facebook, and it was so fun to see this image go viral….I had so many comments, and messages from this one image. There is something about a daddy in uniform and the tender bond they form instantly. LOVE.

Three generations….three beautiful girls.

Seeing these sweet images below ALMOST makes me want another newborn….almost. The moment fades quickly, but my “mommy heart” does melt looking at these. She is so pretty!

If you are looking for something to do….stop by and you will be a part of something very special.

Here is an image of one sweet baby….MINE! We all love our babies!!!

Milo 6 months {Kalamazoo Children’s Photographer}

Oh sweet boy!! Here is Milo’s six month session! When I photographing him, I was totally getting deja vu….I photographed his big sister when she was going through our “The Adored Baby” Plan, and when Milo was smiling, he looks so much like his sissy Olive!! I love this six month stage where they sit so well and love to smile!!

I LOVE this photo of Milo….his big smile and two little teeth.

Milo is the first boy to try out my vintage suitcase..his mommy brought the bow tie. I need to remember when I am shopping for my girls to go that other side of the store that I NEVER go to…the boys section and get me a bowtie or two…very cute!!

Little Peanuts {Kalamazoo Children Photography}

I met these little cutie’s mom a few months ago when she (Stephanie) came to my “Mommy Photography Class” . She owns a great business called “Savvy Bridal and Formal Wear“. If you are looking for a bridal gown or formal dress….such as prom or bridesmaid dress, or want to consign your unused dress thengo check out her adorable high end consignment store. They have such a great thing going on over there!!

Now on these two little peanuts. So cute….and you can’t deny they are siblings!

Addison’s One Year {Kalamazoo Baby Photographer}

Another wonderful Baby Plan sweet of ours!! How fast one year goes!! Little Miss Addison looked adorable for this session. LOVED the colorful tutu…it totally matched her spunky personality. Here is a link to her six month session and newborn session in case you are curious to see! It is so amazing how fast our babies grow in 12 short months!!

LOVE that diaper cover!!

“I am ONE”

Here is an action shot….she was one fast crawler!!

How can you say “no” to that little face!!!

Happy 1st birthday sweet Addison!!

This handsome little guy was not interested in getting his picture taken at all during his shoot. He put up quite a fight, but BUT …..we were able to sneak out a couple really cute ones. Toddlers are tricky, and Dani (my assistant) and I are both mothers to toddlers so we completely understand its not easy to photograph them. Patience goes a long way and lots and lots of toys help….we are not against bribery either!!

Sisters {Kalamazoo Family Photographer}

Another fun “Little Peanut” session…..a 20 minute mini session. These are great to get some quick gorgeous images. These sisters made my job so easy….so well behaved and willing!!
