Winter Projects.

Living in Michigan provides a break in the wedding photography business usually from January until March or April. So I've planned to use my extra time to do some projects. I am working on a new blog! My plan is for the blog to also be a website that will hold my portfolio galleries... super cool! I will keep you updated for when it is live. Besides the new site, I am working on some personal projects that have been really great for creativity and expanding my knowledge of photography. Photography being a creative career, I don't ever think I will stop learning and growing. It is one of my favorite things about an artistic job.

To view my PROJECT 365 blog go here! I am taking a photo every day for a year!

I was playing around with some new studio lighting techniques and I used my favorite props... my kids! And reluctantly, my husband for a minute. Here is my family (minus my youngest Isadora, she was napping).

Miss Libby.

The oh so sweet Libby is 9 months old! She is standing and probably soon to be walking with all her strength. It is so neat to document stages in life! Libby, mom, and dad met me in Lapeer at a park for their session. Here are a few from theirs:

I LOVE this one!

Such a cute laugh.

Roger and Sarah.

Meet Roger and Sarah, my younger brother and his fiance'. They are getting married next August in Davison, MI. It was a lot of fun to run around Owosso and find different places to shoot. They were a lot of fun and I was able to experiment (you'll see below!). These two are great together!

Family H.

The other day I spent a few hours with the Hrinik family. These kids are just fantastic! The oldest wanted to show me her many poses she knew and the youngest boy was excited to share his cars and trains. He had me take pictures of his cars from every angle...so cute! Anyway, here are a few pictures:

Jen, Ken, and Brooklyn.

Last night, I met up with Jen and her family at the nature preserve. Her little girl is such a cutie! Here are a couple:

Michelle and Billy.

The wedding and reception were held in Delray Beach, FL at the Sundy House. It was such a beautiful garden setting....not to mention a gorgeous couple! :) Here is their wedding mini story!

Fall Frolic.

These are my lovely friends, Holly and Joel with their son, Gabe. I did a mini session with them last weekend at Yates Cider Mill. It was a bit more crowded than I expected but the day was nice and not too cold. These are some of my faves:
