Holiday Print Cut off, 2010 Weddings and Studiotone!

Wedding season is officially over and i'm now into the grind of finishing up weddings and albums.

Balancing life as a photographer, stay at home mom and doing all the rest of lifes chores have proven to be a bigger challenge this year than any other. But i've been meeting deadlines and it seems making everyone happy.
I also feel like my work has jumped leaps and bounds this year and have been proud of the growth and goals i've set and made this year.
I have 3-7 2010 wedding openings left.
Here are my open dates:
January 9, 16, 23, 30
All of February
March 13, 20, 27
April 10, 24
May 1, 8, 22
June 26
July 31
August 7, 14, 28
These dates include the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of that weekend.
I'd love to do some traveling! So Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Detroit girls feel free to contact me too!!!

Only a few more days to order prints in time for the holidays. December 14th is the cut off.

And on a personal note...my husband's band (who only play during the holiday's now) are playing this Saturday at The Small Planet in East Lansing! They are a true ROCK band and it's always a good time to celebrate their joining with good beer and good friends so come out and support your local band scene!

Emily and Ryan: Wedding Sneak Peek 10.10.09

We're nearing the end of this season's sneak peeks. I can't believe that the season is done and over and I have to wait until April to photograph another wedding!
Emily and Ryan are lovely. A pleasure to work with. A pleasure to know.
I love so many of these I don't know where to start.

Emily's Man of Honor: Bogles

And Ryan's Best Woman: his sister

The Whole Gang. Parents Included!

Okay this one is probably my absolute fave.

Eva: 1 Year Session

How do they grow up so fast? How does the TIME go by so fast?
I photographed Eva's mommy and daddy's wedding a few years ago. Then she arrived and I photographed her as a 3 month old. Then she brought over her cousins and we did a fun little shoot and now she is 1!
Isn't she the cutest?!

Extending my sale through Cyber Monday...

I'm extending my current sale through tomorrow-CYBER Monday.
Holiday Cards are also expiring tomorrow so make sure you get your order in!
Cut off for print orders to arrive before Christmas is December 14th. Any orders after that day may or may not reach you by Christmas.

Happy Holidays!

Thankfulness...

Happy Thanksgiving! I am forever grateful for the health of my wonderful family. Every one of them means the world to me. I'm truly grateful for this outstanding business I have made and all the incredible clients (and friends!) I have made. Love and thankfulness makes the world go round.

Natalie ONLY loves the point and shoot and frequently asks to "take pictures." But she will only smile if I hold the camera out and take pictures of the two of us.

Me and my little turkey:

Enjoy your day everyone!

Black Friday Sale Announced!

This will be my ONLY holiday sale! Photos make unique gifts! Enjoy the savings!

Liam's 1 Year Session

I couldn't believe when Tina called and scheduled Liam's 1 year session! How could he be 1 already? I vividly remember his newborn session. Poor guy had a bit of colic and we our best to get some cute shots and also try to sooth him in the process.
Now he's an adorable, happy toddler who I can't get enough of. This is my 1st shoot of the summer that I got to try out some new props I bought at various antique shops. I love old stuff. It makes for great pictures!
I adore Liam. I adore this family.
