Newborn John Houghton 13 days old...Oakland County Mi Photographer

Wow. I just love newborns and having a comfortable trusting mommy is just great too. This particular mommy and 13 day old baby allowed me to create these amazing images along with many others. Carrie, thanks so much for letting me have fun with this session-I hope you love the images

Sweet Sisters...Oakland County Photographer

I have been creating portraits of Alexandra for three years now and she just gets more beautiful each time. Her mom and dad just added a little sister to their family and Alex came in to show off her newborn baby sister to the camera. Here is Alex and the "blog debut" of her 5 day old little sister Addison Marie...

Family Fun Portrait Session-Oakland County Portrait Photographer

Okay, I am guilty of being behind on my blog posts so I have a few things to say.

1) Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Kwanzaa/Happy "I totally get time off of work-Woo-Hoo!"

2)Happy New Year-What's your resolution??

And...

So sorry that I have not been keeping up. Especially for those of you who check in repeatedly. Anyway, these photos are proof that a session in my studio can be anything but boring. Even dads have fun! This family came in way back in November (seems like a *lifetime* ago) but I owe this mom a "post viewing session sneak peak" So, here ya go Jackie...Happy belated birthday!

How did you do?

Congratulations to Jennifer M. from Warren for being the first to find ALL 11 differences. Jennifer has one a wallet album valued at $45.00. I've been getting emails asking what the solution is, so here are the answers for those who asked. Thanks for playing!

What's the big diff?

For those of you who have an IPhone or Ipod Touch, be warned. There is a free app that you can download by ESPN where you get to compare photos to see the differences between them. It is addictive!! Since it has been occupying much of my time recently, AND I even got my family in on the distraction, I decided it might be fun to create my own version. Here we have the same photo on both sides of sweet little Anika. Your mission is to find the differences between the two photos. Find 10 differences in the photo if you can. Lucky for you, my version isn't timed. There is also a bonus 11th difference. The first one to find the bonus difference will win a special gift from the studio. Look very carefully. Have fun!

Baby it's Cold Outside!

When it comes to accessories, hats are definitely the best. Say what you want about the Michigan weather, but you don't see people in Cali sporting sweet hats like this! Seriously though, hats are awesome accessories for portraits. They really put the focus right where it belongs-on your eyes. They really help to create dramatic portraits and I think they are AWESOME!
p.s.~ Check out the cute hat on Wyatt in his blog too! I was tempted to put it up here, but I figured I should at least hold out for a *little* longer. he he
