Angel Scarlett

A week ago our family welcomed its first grand baby, first niece, first sibling offspring, first daughter. Dear, sweet Scarlett is the gorgeous daughter of my brother, Bud, and his lovely bride and my sister, Abby. Photographing family is a privilege and even though I am humongous pregnant, ready to pop in about a week and a half, I found the energy and motivation to hang with my girl - which was not difficult. Enjoy these teasers as I am sure this is just the beginning of my Scarlett documentation.

Sweet Emily

Yesterday was Emily day. I went over to a VERY old pals house, we're talking grade school pal, to take some Christmas photos of sweet, sweet Emily. Emily is smiley, content and resembles a porcelain doll - which translates beautifully on camera. I went home that day hoping that the little bundle growing in my own belly will be half as happy as that little girl. She posed with ease by her Christmas tree, fireplace, played with ornaments, wore a santa hat and never, and I mean NEVER cried even once. If only all babies were that easy. Here are some previews from our shoot: 

Kelly + Mike

Kelly and Mike got married almost 2 weekends ago. It was a gorgeous November day, which you can never count on that late in the fall. However, it was beautiful and we made the very best of it. The reception was at Addison Oaks, which is one of my favorite backdrops for wedding photos. I was a little worried with our lack of sunlight during photo time but, we got it done just in the nick of time! The lighting was ideal; the sun was going down, light was filtering through the trees - it was beautiful. It also helped that Addison Oaks was already decked out for the holiday season, which always makes for lovely scenery. Here are some teasers, obviously lots more to come...

Dan, Heidi and the kiddos

On what has to have been the last 70 degree day of the year, I had the opportunity to work with a family that I know quite well. My beautiful sister-in-law, her hubby and their 3 kids took me to the Grosse Pointe Woods Park for some kid/family photos. Check out some teasers from our unseasonably warm photo shoot with some REALLY cute kids:) Yes, I am biased BUT, I speak truth - just look at 'em!
