Fall Family Fun {{{ Alliteration is Appealing 😉 }}} | Rochester, Mi. Family Photographer

Fall really seems to have taken a quick leap into winter around here, but fortunately I was able to squeeze in one more colorful autumn session before the winds of change blew the leaves off the trees, and the weather into sub-freezing temps. This session was extra special because it was my very first time photographing my Uncle's family as a whole. I had photographed his daughters, for a special surprise gift that my Aunt Cindy had planned, but have not had the pleasure of catching the whole family together.

My little cousins are such beauties, each with their own personality. At least two of the three girls thought modeling was exhausting, although the real effort went into trying to find any remnant of autumn leaves left for us to use as our backdrop. We might've scheduled the session a bit late in the game, but I love the images we caught, even with the dwindling bits of reds and oranges and yellows that were left on the trees.

Uncle Shawn and Aunt Cindy, it doesn't take much to make your family look gorgeous. Thank you for asking me to capture these images for you. I had a lot of fun doing it. :)

As you can see, my uncle is a bit of an up-stager. Lol. ;P

Cousin Campout | Burton, MI. Infant and Toddler Photographer

I woke up Saturday morning to a beautiful warm summer day......a perfect day to photograph some happy babies. By the time we arrived at the session location, it was apparent that it was going to be much more than just "warm". It got sweaty-hot fast, and though all of the adults were very aware of the heat, by some miracle, the kids were unfazed by it.

I was so excited for this session because it is a returning client and friend. You might remember these girls from the hot air balloon shoot last year. They were so fun to work with then, and I couldn't wait to see how much they have grown now. I was also eager to meet the new addition to the family, Evan, who made his arrival soon after our previous session.

These adorable cousins were so funny to watch with their different personalities, and their ever-increasing mobility. Everybody got a bit of a workout keeping up with them all. Not to mention the workout that, the stupendously chivalrous, Mark got by helping me carry my many props through the park. (Thank you for that!!!!)

With some help from my baby wranglers, we got some beautiful images of these little cuties. Emily, it was so nice to see you and all of your family again. I can't wait to share more with you, but I hope this will tide you over for a little bit. ;)

......and, just because we ALL know that it's not always all sunshine and rainbows.........especially at the end of a hot summer session. lol

This one cracks me up because we have three different emotions shining through. We have Evan in the middle, just as happy as can be, with his skeptical sister, Emma, looking at him like he's crazy. Then, we have sweet little Mae, who is just SOOO over it. Lol. They were all little troopers. :)

All in the Family | Burton MI, Baby & Family Photographer

I was contacted, months ago, to do custom portraits for an old friend of mine, Emily, who has moved away, gotten married, and started a family. This session was supposed to take place in August, but due to inclement weather, their flight was canceled, and I feared that we would not get a chance to do her session. Lucky for me, they were able to make a trip, all the way from Texas, to complete the session that we had been planning for so long.

As a special perk, I had the pleasure of photographing Emily's niece together with her daughter. They are close in age, and oh so cute. I got to meet her niece, Emma, first, and she is not only sweet, but she has got some rockin' dance moves. She can really shake it. I loved watching her bust a move to Tina Turner. The girl has good taste. :)

Soon after meeting Emma, Emily arrived and I got to meet her husband Mark and her sweet baby, Mae, for the first time. Mae is even cuter in person than she is in her photos........which is hard to do, since she is so adorable in her pictures. She has the funniest "toothy" grin. At least, it's as toothy as it gets when you just have one little tooth poking through. lol. Mae is also blessed with the most gorgeous blue eyes. They are simply mesmerizing.

Both girls did an awesome job, and I had so much fun working with them. And I was also glad that I got the opportunity to photograph Emily's family along with her mom and her brother and his family. I am thankful for Emily's mom, Laura, who welcomed me into her home, and allowed us to use it for the portrait session. I feel blessed and honored to have been chosen to capture three generations of a family that continues to grow. I would like to send well wishes to Emily's brother Jason, and his family, who are expecting a new baby very soon. I know that Emma will be a fantastic big sister.

Emily, I am flattered that you picked me to do your family portraits, and that you were willing to travel so far. I really had a lot of fun. It was so great to see you again, and to meet your family. :)
