My beautiful family...

Yep, I said it. I think my little family is beautiful! My kids are so darn cute...biased, I know! ;)

I was determined to get a fall session in with my own kiddos this year. I missed out last year, so I made sure to actually "schedule" a session time with my own little ones! LOL! We went to the park not far from here and just hung out. The light was beautiful and got better as the night went on. We played soccer, laughed, snuggled and I took pictures! We found a beautiful spot in the woods that had the most perfect lighting...and made my little girls eyes just twinkle!

Here are a few...there are tons, so to pick was difficult!

This was toward's the end of our time there...this was the perfect light I was referring too...just well...perfect!

In the woods, with just the perfect amount of light shining through...

Did I mention how cooperative my kids actually were?!?!?!? I got several pictures with everyone at least looking...I didn't even care if there were smiles! :)

These were also in the woods...

Well, I am headed out to take a run on the glorious fall Sunday. It is the first run in two weeks, so I am expecting it to be a little tough...but none the less, it will feel great! Hope you are staying warm and enjoying the colors and fall where ever you are!

Hook 'Em Horns...

That was the greeting that I was given from this super cute little 3 year old. This adorable family was visiting family here in the area, all the way from Texas...and I had the absolute pleasure of photographing them this morning. As Mr. B got out of the car, he gave me a HUGE hug...totally melted me!!!!

It was quite chilly this morning...Mr. B was actually shivering when we first started. Of course, they most like aren't used to these chilly temps that we have been having! It was, though, a gorgeous fall morning. The rain that has been over us for about the last two weeks has gone away and the SUNSHINE (it does exist!) was out for a good chunk of the day today! M, thanks for getting in touch and allowing me the opportunity this morning to get to know your beautiful family and capturing some moments for all of you.

Miss G...loved this little one's spunk today! Reminded me so much of my Cakies!

Mr. B...smiley and handsome from the get go!

When I snapped this one, I knew it was going to be one of my favorites! I love her expression, I love the light and I love how her hair is sweeping across her face...so precious!


Still a bit chilly... :)

Well, since it is late...quite late. And, my Geebers is still awake (well, awake for the past 45 minutes, he did go to bed at 8:15...he just sometimes likes to have a play date with me in the middle of the night...sweet of him, don't you think?!?!?!?!?!), I am going to get off of here and hope to post some of the pictures I took of my own kiddos today, tomorrow! They turned out beautiful...but I am a little biased! ;)

Mr. M is One...

...Well, he will be soon! :) This little man, Mr. M, is a super cutie! He wasn't that great of a fan of me or my camera at first, but once I got out my rocker, he was a super smiler!!!! Thanks to Bennett's Orchard in Whiteford, MI for a great location and letting us move and use all of your fun stuff! K and M, hope you enjoy the sneak peek! You have a super cute little family and an adorable little M!

Standing on the rocker...

...beautiful blue eyes...

...happy clapper...


...he wasn't so thrilled in this one, but he is still looking pretty darn cute!

Have a great weekend!

Mr. N - Bedford Senior Session...

So, this senior session was probably the coldest and dreariest day possible, but we totally made work! The location was absolutely fabulous, thanks Bedford Hills Golf Club! There were super cool rocks, great holes on the water, cool barn, great brick...and more! I was so geeked when I showed up for the session. The original plan was to just get some shots on the course, and move on to other locations around town...but it was a one stop deal!

Mr. N was a total trooper that morning. It was cold. Very cold. It was misty at first, and well, then it flat out was raining! He worked with me through it all, and I am super pleased with the results so far! I laughed a little thinking that if this was a girl session we would have cancelled!!! It was great to meet you N and I am so glad that I also got to meet you K (the momma!) in person. You are so sweet, and I had fun riding around in the golf cart with you! Oh yes...thanks so much for grabbing my "box" for me...I forgot it everywhere we went...including when I left! LOL!

Love the red barn...

He has the prettiest smile...

See the wet cement...and wet brick...it seriously rained...hard!

Of course, headshots are still yet to come for Mr. N...as we are STILL not in our house! But, there is an end in site. We are moving in hopefully October 22nd...and all of our items should be moved in by then also, and then our clothes come October 23rd. Thankful for our current living conditions, but O-SO (anyone out there that watches Disney, you know OSO also!) ready to be back in our own home.

Well, keeping my fingers crossed that this beautiful rain we have had for about 2 weeks now will clear up for a fun family session tomorrow...AND, I literally scheduled out a time block for a session with my kids...so you will have to come back and check out how big my little man has gotten!

Little Kiddos...

This session was last Monday, I know, late in posting, but better late than never! It is quite redundant to say "we had a busy week" because I don't know when we don't have a busy week. But it seemed like this past week flew by! We are still not in our house, but are thankful to be staying in my in-law's condo while they are in FL. It has become our home. As long as we are all together, there will always be a home. It is looking like another couple of weeks before we are in, and it won't be finished at that point. Our laundry room isn't allowed to be touched until the "investigation" is complete...long, long, long story! :)

Enough about me...on to the adorable kiddos that I got to meet and capture! Their grandma had contacted me quite some time ago asking me to do a session of her cute grandkids whenever they came into town next. Well, I am so thankful that it worked out. It was a gloomy day, in fact had been a very rainy morning up until shortly before the session, but it did hold off for the session itself. The grandmother's yard was beautiful. Benches, swings, flowers, more flowers, small pond, cool stones, archways...I am keeping that location in mind for future sessions...and she had already so graciously offered that to me...too sweet! So here is just a peak...again...

Love his pretty brown eyes...

Ummmm...for some reason blogger decided this picture should be vertical...anyone want to help me out and let me know how to fix it?!?!?!?! Either way...still adorable!


Love this one...

I also love this one too. He was collecting flags from around the yard, and I had asked him to show me them...

While I am here posting...fall session are booking super duper fast. October weekends are pretty much gone, but if you need a session during the week, I should be able to squeeze it in! November is also starting to book...with another mini-session date on November 7th. If you missed the first one, be sure to stay tuned for the details!

Alright, back to my little guy...have a beautiful Sunday!

Out of town...

...with my sisters and mom, and this gorgeous little man! My sister, Kiersten, took these today. I love them. I love them because I rarely get the chance to be on this side of the camera with one of my kids...isn't he adorable? He is sleeping right next to me as I type, and those of you who know the craziness of our life the past several weeks know that I should quit typing on here and get some rest...and so I will! Have a great weekend!

Mini-Session Sneak Peeks...

This past Saturday was gorgeous, and I had so much fun running around like a crazy lady taking pictures of all of these families and kiddos! It was fun catching up with old clients and new ones! If you missed out on this great deal, I am going to be having another mini-session sometime late October early November...just haven't picked the date yet! Enjoy the fun shots!

The L Family...

Love the lighting on this one!

This family is lucky they were so cute...otherwise I might have refused their session due to their attire!!! ;) Go Blue!

One of my favorites...this little lady has been coming to me since she was inside her momma's tummy...she is such a beautiful little lady!

It was great to meet this fun family! Thanks for coming all the way down here for your session...your kiddos D and Z are so sweet! :)

Miss O's expressions were killing me! So serious, and oh so sweet!

Miss A and Mr. E - What can I say...I "heart" these two kiddos!

Although these cuties are posted last, they were actually my first of the day! They traipsed through the wet grass and bugs with me, and were total troopers! Love both of these shots of them all together!

Have a great week!

Mini-Sessions...

...were completely fabulous this past weekend!!!! The Barn Sale was a hit, session went on without a hitch, my parent's property worked out better than I could have imagined, and the pictures are turning out beautifully!!!! I am working on getting a post up with a sneak peek of all of the sessions...and somehow, I keep running out of hours in a day! I need to retire for the night...but will leave you with one little picture to tease you...
