The Verlinde Family

Sunday I had the pleasure of spending the better part of my day in East Lansing with a really cool family. Jim and Sue have been married almost 50 years, and in that time, have raised four boys and witnessed the birth of twelve beautiful grandkids. Each of the four families have kids with their own, all with distinct personalities, joy and life. It was a pleasure to capture such a loving group and celebrate what life should be about, family.

Ann and Nick

Last Saturday Ann and Nick joined hands, hearts and souls in Franklin, Mich. It was a bit chilly and overcast, but it was absolutely perfect for photos. They wed in a small but beautiful chapel with an intimate group of friends and family. We spent time taking photos in both Franklin and downtown Detroit, which was not far from their reception spot - one of my favs - La Dolce Vita. It was a wonderful day of celebration and I hope you enjoy these teasers. 

Baby Joseph

Here are some teaser pics from baby Joseph's newborn photo shoot. The little guy was so full of life the day of the shoot and just refused to close his little eyes. I think he subconsciously wanted the world to see his beautiful eyes - I can't blame him! Baby J is the grandson of one of my mother's dearest friends, so this was an extra special photo job. Enjoy some teasers...

Baby Scarly Turns 1

My beauty of a niece, Scarlett, turned one in February. As cliche as it may sound, It's incredible how fast a year can fly by. Watching this little gal go from newborn to infant in what seems like the blink of an eye, has been both a pleasure and honor. Taking her photos throughout the process has too been an honor. Little Scarly, her parents and I had a fun photo shoot a few weeks back - balloons and all! She has such a fun personality, I think it shines through in the photos. Enjoy a few teasers...
