There is nothing that makes me happier than helping people reach their goals.  Breanne needed some help getting herself set up to take photos for her new Etsy store.  So I gave her some direction on lights and backdrops and dropped in to get her up and working.  Her store will contain beautiful vintage clothes and other cool things from her collection.  Keep an eye out for a great new Etsy store!

Let me know if I can ever help you reach for YOUR dreams!

It was a chilly day when we did Wyatt’s birthday photos on the beach with his mom and dad, so we brought him into a studio setting for a little creative fun.  This little guy has wheels!  And speed!  So of course he needed to fly!  Up, up, and away!

 

My little buddy Blake was back for his first birthday photos.  I am so enjoying watching this little dude grow!  He has such a great personality and is always smiling!  I can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Keith and Mike have been together for 18 years and finally tied the knot in Vegas a few months ago.  Today, they included their closest family and friends in a second wedding ceremony in Leelanau county.  These great guys and their son, Henry, had a beautiful fall day for a wedding!

It’s always a pleasure shooting the Bras for a Cause benefit with Blue LaVa Media!  These models come up with the best costumes and have such a good time raising money for Breast Cancer awareness.  Good job fellas!  You looked wonderful in your brassieres!

Jaylyn will be graduating from TC West this coming spring.  The family brought his little pal, Charlie, along as the “smile maker”.

Ethan is one spunky little guy!  Being that his favorite word is NO, it takes a little time to get some smiles out of him.  But when he smiles, you had better be ready because he is likely to be in motion!

My little pal Wyatt is turning ONE!  This little dude was totally fine with the cool fall day we had and just kept on smiling.  His expressions just cracked me up!

Stay tuned for his “flying” adventure next week . . . .

Karrie and Matt are fantastic together!  I can’t wait for their wedding next summer!  They brought signs for props that read, “Our Story Begins Here” and “Adventure is Out There”.  There is nothing that better describes the life experience that will come with getting married and starting a future together, than those signs.  It will be an adventure and they can create any story they’d like.

My favorite part of the time I had with them, was learning that their first date was to the movie UP!  I loved that movie so I had a flash of creative insanity to bring them their own UP adventure.  Sure, flying-people is a little campy, but it is a symbol of believing in what could be.  Believing in adventure and stories!

Believe that your love can bring you a lifetime of adventure and stories!

I offered a few free pet sittings the other week and nobody took me up on it!  So my pal Melissa brought her fabulous family out to play.  We were graced with an above-average sunset!

My favorite thing about families with young children is the constant chaos!  It is constant motion and I think it amazingly awesome!  Kids don’t sit still, dogs don’t sit still.  And water?! Forget about it!! Somebody is going in! That is family reality!
