Kai take 2, 8 months

Are you tired of seeing photos of my nephew yet? I just can't help myself--both from taking his photos and from posting them here! The camera LOVES this little guy, let me tell you. We did a very impromptu shoot in my living room last weekend when my sister was in town...and got a few winners.

Are you kidding me? I can't take it! I want to kiss those little lips!

J and K getting married!

I've never really pushed or marketed the wedding photography side of things, but there are parts of shooting weddings that I really really love.

One of those parts is engagement photos. Seriously....you've got 2 people in love, they are adults and so they listen to instruction!....and basically, they are just so darn cute. These guys were no exception. I had so much fun hanging out with them for awhile, talking, and taking some photos in between. They were good sports, playful, silly, and very much in love with each other.

Can't wait for your wedding in June, K and J! And K--I hope this tides you over until I get the rest of them edited. There were just so many that I liked, I had a hard time picking out a handful for this post!

Baby J

Remember my cousin and their beautiful pregnancy photos? I finally got to take photos of their new little guy! He's over 3 weeks old already, so as you can tell in these photos...he's past that sleepy curly newest new newborn phase already! He was wide-eyed, alert, and interested the whole time.

Okay okay, I know I am biased to babies in my own family...but isn't this fella just gorgeous?

Okay, we have to see that pose a little bit closer :)

Cherry Blossoms!

The cherry trees blossomed early in Michigan this year. Luckily I caught them before they were all gone--but I didn't get to do nearly as many shoots in them as I had hoped. Oh well, maybe next year! Anyone want to schedule a shoot for April or May of 2011? Because you cannot beat the beauty of this location--and it only lasts a few weeks out of the year!

I know everyone is curious to see how my beautiful nephew Kai is growing. He's 7 months old now, and cuter than ever. The first pictures are of him, and the second group of photos are of my girls, Rowan and Piper. I finally got some photos of them together that I like! Woo Hoo!

Mr. D

I had the privilege of photographing a very interesting, compassionate man last weekend--Mr. D. He needed some photos for a website, for a book jacket that is in the process of being published, and some head shots for when he has speaking engagements. I love photographing children and young families, don't get me wrong...but it's a whole different bag than photographing a sophisticated gentleman, let me tell you. It was fun to stretch and be creative with someone who stayed still and was up for anything! I really had a great time getting these photos.
