Back in Michigan. Yaaaaay!

First off, I'd like to apologize for being absent for so long. As many of you know, my family moved to Florida earlier this year, and left so many good friends, family and clients behind. Well, after being away from all of our loved ones for a period of time, we decided that we didn't want to live our lives so far away from everyone, so we have moved back home. I am now living in Ortonville, Mi, and am serving clients in Genesee County and Northern Oakland County. We were keeping our return a surprise for many friends and family, so I have refrained from posting in order to make sure that I did not slip up before we surprised my Mom on Christmas Eve. Surprising everyone has been a lot of fun. I can't even express how excited and relieved I am to be back. It seems like we missed so much in such a short time. One very important event that we missed out on in our time away was our very good friends welcoming their, long awaited, first baby to this world. It was incredibly hard to not be here for such a special event, so of course their home was one of our first visits after our arrival. Their son, Ryder, has to be one of the most adorable baby boys I've ever laid eyes on. I had the privilege of photographing him before Christmas and he was just a dream to shoot. He is such a happy baby, and already, at just 4 months old, has so much personality. I'm so happy that I finally got to meet him, and see him getting love and squishes from his proud daddy. And I'm loving the beautiful "Mommy Glow" that he has brought to his mama's face. His presence in this world is just another reminder that miracles happen every day, and I am so excited to watch him grow and play along side my own babies. I am so happy to be back in Michigan, and I cannot wait to get back to photographing my favorite clients, and hopefully meeting many new ones.

My Beautiful Sister | Grand Blanc MI, Senior Photographer

I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with my youngest sister to shoot her senior pictures. She had her good friend with her, so there was definitely a fun energy to the whole session. She has grown into such a beautiful young woman. I hope she doesn't get mad at me for posting the "kissy-face" pic. Lol. And since she's my baby sis, she gets a few extra preview shots. Gotta show off the family genes, ya know. :)

Sweet and Sassy, Miss N. | Senior Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

I recently had the privilege to photograph this local high school senior. She was very fun to work with, and wasn't afraid to do some work to get a good shot. (Gotta love that!) I am glad that I was able to do these for you, and I hope you and your family love them. I will have your gallery finished soon. :)

The H. Family | Ortonville MI, Child Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

This family was fun to shoot, and I have tons of photos still to go through, but here are a few from the edited batch.  They are definitely some good looking kids.  I can't wait for you to see the rest when they are finished.  I apologize for the wait.

Mr. S. | Ortonville Mi, Child Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

This handsome little guy was so much fun.  He did all of the things that you'd expect a boy to do.....from climbing trees to rolling down hills, and just being goofy.  But let me tell you, he knew how to work it when he wanted to.  His mama loves to take pictures, and you can definitely tell that he has had practice in front of the camera.  He really made my job easy.  I hope mom, and the rest of the family enjoy this sneak peak.

Mr. K. | Ortonville Mi, Senior Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

Meet Mr. K.  He is an absolutely remarkable young man.  When he was just 6 months old, he was diagnosed with having a brain tumor, and he has been through the wringer for years after.  Despite all of the trials he has been forced to face at such a young age, he has persevered, and maintained a happy-go-lucky attitude.  He will be receiving his certificate of completion for high school and has many plans for the future.  He is such an inspiration, and an absolute pleasure to work with.  I hope you enjoy your preview, I will have the rest of your gallery ready soon.

A Beautiful Couple | Holly Mi, Couples Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

I recently had the pleasure of shooting some friends of mine.  One of them was moving away to start a new career.  We are sad to see him leave, but are so excited for him to get started on his new journey.  I hope you guys love your photos.  I really had a lot of fun working with the two of you, and wish you all the best for your future.

The B. Sisters | Swartz Creek Mi, Newborn/Child Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

I promised that there would be more to come from the session that I did with Princess B. and her big sister, Miss B. so here are some more for you to enjoy. I had so much fun with this session, and had such a hard time picking favorites to post. They are both such beautiful girls. I am so happy to have had the chance to take some photos of them.

Miss B. | Mid Michigan, Child Photographer | Carri Beth Photography

Meet Princess B's big sister, Miss B. She has always been a very pretty girl, but is quickly becoming a beautiful young woman. I had a great time shooting her, and once she warmed up to me, I think she really enjoyed it too. We took a few minutes to play around with some shots on the trampoline. I think they turned out pretty fun. She is simply gorgeous, and that made my job really easy. Here are a few from her session. Enjoy.
