Santa came to Castle Farms to read the Polar Express to children!  It was a fun day, filled with laughter, happy smiles, and long lists of gifts to bring on Christmas.

Team REI needed new headshots and a few group sitting options.  We had great ideas for a rooftop sitting with bay and city-scape backgrounds, but the gales of November decided to pay us a visit.  I suppose, though, it is November and there was no snow on the ground so at least we weren’t freezing in our attempts.

John and the TruMark Contracting guys brought their A-Game for their team photos.  And look, everybody has clean shirts!!  These will be used for their company holiday cards.  I tried to convince them they should do a calendar but they were too shy.  Maybe next year, ladies!

The ever-so-fabulous and talented Stephen West made an appearance at the Wool and Honey knit shop in Cedar on Tuesday night. Knitters from far and wide came to have their books signed and see his fantastic designs in person.  It was quite an event!

I was asked by Courtney Curtis from TV7&4’s Up North Live to answer some questions about the hot-button point of whether or not to host your wedding as “unplugged” or not.  Truth be told, it was terrifying! I spend so many hours behind a camera that I totally forget what it is like to be IN FRONT of the camera.  I used the experience to remind myself how each of my clients feel at sessions.

The funniest part of the whole experience is Courtney reassuring my reservations about how I did with, “you did great, you’re all trendy and sounded fine”.  After she left, my Boyfriend’s 12 year old, Xander, says, “I think that lady was confused.  I think she meant crafty, not trendy.  Cause trendy really isn’t you”.  True that, kid, true that!

Pictures are moments that can last a lifetime but are there certain moments where the cameras need to be put away?

Thanks to technology, basically everyone has a camera at their disposal and – especially on someone’s big day – you want to capture those moments so you don’t forget them.

But some say too much . . . continue reading click here

We updated Matt’s head shots for some new business he’ll be getting in to.  I’m still laughing that he was wearing shorts with that jacket.  It makes me really wonder what the news casters wear behind the desk. . .  because you’d never know.

I had the pleasure of spending the day at the downtown Traverse City Real Estate One office for the day for headshots in the office.

I had the pleasure of helping Judy and Ken with their new custom business brochure for The Ultimate LGBT Wedding and Anniversary Expo in Detroit that happened a few weeks ago.  As wedding ministers and wonderful humans, they both support marriage equality for all.  It was a treat to put this together and I was very pleased with how this card came out.

If you find yourself needing any new sales material, give me a call and let me put something together for you!
