Addi Turns One!!! | Astonished Auntie Photographer, Flint, Mi.

I cannot believe that a whole year has flown by already, but here it is.  Exactly one year ago today, I became an auntie again, to another beautiful baby girl.  Addison Riley was born at 6:43am, and instantly put smiles on the faces of those who were there to see her.  That trend has continued on through the year as she has grown, because you just cannot look at this girl without smiling.  Not only is she adorable, but she is also smart, and silly, and such a ham.  I love being an auntie to three beautiful nieces, and I cannot wait to celebrate Addi's first year with her.  

Happy First Birthday Addi Ooo!!!  I love you!

See Addi as she has grown, from birth to one year, through the photos I have shared here.

Your Opinions Please... | Michigan "Experimenting" Photographer

I got to shoot some beautiful and quick pictures of my adorable, 9 month old, niece today, and while editing them, I decided to experiment with a form of editing that is MUCH different than my norm.  I like my work clear and crisp, with vibrant colors......but......I have always had a place in my heart for the soft, dreamy, enchanting feel that you get with a certain type of image processing.

I had created an automated process, called an action, in photoshop over a year ago, but have only really used it for my birth photography images because I have been afraid that the change in style may throw off my followers.  My fans and clients tend to expect a certain style, and I don't want anyone to think that I have changed my tune completely.  I love my current style, and I do not foresee it changing anytime in the near, or distant, future.  However, I do love this new style also, so I have decided to put it out there for the world to see, and decide for themselves whether they love it or not.

Take a look at these images, and let me know what you think.  Is this a style that any of you might prefer as a choice on your own images?  I would love to hear your thoughts.  And have no fear, the clear, crisp, vibrant photos aren't going anywhere.  ;) 

Addi Oodi, Attitudey | Ortonville, MI. Baby Photographer

Little baby Addison has been growing so fast in the past 7 months.  You may remember my earlier posts about the arrival of my super adorable niece.  If not, you should definitely go check out the images from the day she was born, and her newborn photo shoot.

I come up with all kinds of crazy, nonsensical, nicknames for my own kids, and little Addison has received a few too.  My favorite nickname for her is Addi Oodi Attitudey because she is a sassy little thing.  She is not afraid to tell you what she thinks, in her own little way.  She definitely takes after her momma with that one.  She resembles her momma too, but I cannot help but see how much she looks like her daddy.  This little girl is a welcome addition to my friday routine, which is the day of the week in which I get to have her all to myself.  I love having the opportunity to watch her grow, up close.  There is nothing better than experiencing the world through the eyes of a baby who is discovering so many things for the very first time.

I'm a bit behind in sharing her pics from when we did her 4 month shoot, so I will share my favorite of those here, along with her 7 Month photo shoot.

I just ordered this image as a metal print, and I just KNOW it is going to look awesome.

7 MONTHS

Just a bit of extra fun for everyone.  We all love Addison's spiky/fuzzy hair, and one night, while looking at a pic of her on my brother-in-law's phone, I realized that she strongly resembled something I had seen before.  What do you think.  Do we have a doppelgänger?  Lol

Presenting.......Baby Addison.......Finally! ;P | Flint, Mi. Newborn Photographer

Ok, so I have been soooo busy with life, over the last month or so, that I have been terrible at sharing things here......including things that I am extremely excited about, like the much anticipated newborn photos of my beautiful niece, Addison.  I shared some images from the day she was born, but haven't had an opportunity to share any of her newborn session yet.

So here it goes.  I have put together some of my favorite photos from her session to share with everyone.  (It was not easy narrowing it down, that's for sure).  She is such a beauty, it's a crime to hold on to these and NOT share them.  Addi was so fussy at the beginning of her session, I thought we might NEVER get the shots that we had hoped to get, but after a bit of patience she fell fast asleep and was out like a light, giving me an opportunity to capture her angelic peacefulness.  I just love this little girl so much!  I am so happy for my sister and brother-in-law because they are so fortunate to have such a bright light in their lives, (as are the rest of us).  I'm sure that there will be many more photos of Addison to share in the future, so get to know this little face because you're probably going to be seeing her a lot as she grows.  :)
