Get Back to work Lady!!

okay, okay. Having a new baby is hard work but due to popular demand I had to get back to work, so with some help from family members, (especially my sister) I was able to return to a very busy week. Clients came in from Ortonville, Oxford, Ferndale, Clarkston and Lake Orion. Here is a review from some of those sessions...

In the studio

It's been hard to get images of Wyatt in the studio, but we've made it a few different times. These are some of my favorite images from the first couple of weeks.

Introducing...Wyatt Matthew

So, since my phone has been blowing up lately and my email box has been PACKED for the past week, I know that everyone is anxious to find out how the baby is doing and what he looks like. Therefore, I am posting a few snapshot from the past few days for you all to see. My labor was super long, but it was totally worth it in the end. Wyatt was born on Tuesday May 6th, 2008 at 6:01am. At the time of birth, he weighed in at 8 lbs., 8.4 oz. and he is 21in. long. He is a great baby so far and he is really healthy. Lots of hair too, as you can see. So, for those of you waiting on return calls about the baby, please be patient. We are trying to get back with everyone, but the list is a long one.

Thank you to all who have come to our home, called, or emailed us with well wishes. We are so appreciative of your support!

B.Y.O.P.

That's right, Bring Your Own Props...

Okay, so I know that I have a TON of props in my studio, but maybe you want something different-or more personal. I always encourage my clients to bring in props that are meaningful to them and this awesome family did just that. The Brodie family is from Illinois (I know, you would've never guessed that, right?) and they are HUGE Illini fans. Most of the session was littered with chanting "Go! Illini, GO!" from the kids while they shook their pom-poms for the camera. You can see how special these portraits will be for their family for many years to come. The next time you schedule a session, think about the special props that you might bring to create your own one-of-a-kind image.



See you soon!

So very far behind...

Okay, okay so for all of you who have been emailing me about my slacking, thank you. I have really not been on top of my game lately. So without further adieu, I give you some of my latest clients. More to come...

Mini Maternity Workshop

A portrait of my husband Matt & I with our soon-to-be little boy, who continues to remain nameless. lol. (We've really gotta' figure out something to call him soon.) This is one of my favorites from our session, taken by Melissa.

Many of you have asked me about how I will get my own maternity portraits taken, since I would have a difficult time doing them myself. Well, when you yourself are a photographer, the best thing to do is get together with a couple of other photographers and just make a day of it. This doubles as a mini workshop session. There's always room to grow and learn from your peers and this was a great time to do that. Luckily for me, Angela from Dezine Point Studio and Melissa from Life Unscripted Photography, were up for the challenge. Angela is also expecting and we had a lot of fun as our creative energy was flowing. Problem is, three photographers (two of which are preggos) trying new things and working on different lighting setups, makes for a very long day. Time flies when you're having fun, right? And boy did we lose track of time. My apologies to Angela and Melissa's husbands who were left to fend for themselves for dinner on Sunday night. Thanks again ladies, I really appreciate your help.


Here are a couple more images of my husband Matt and I taken by Angela.

This one of Angela is my favorite of the ones that I took so far. Isn't she cute?

Moo...

These cards are so much fun. I was anxious to get them, so I pulled some images quickly off of my computer and sent them in for printing. They are about 1 3/8 x 2 3/4 inches and they have a variety of uses. I love how much fun they are, and I will be ordering more soon. The best part is that they come in orders of 100 cards, but each card can have a different image on it.


You can have the back printed with multiple lines of text also. Sweet, right? Am I a dork to be so excited about new products? lol.
