Last shoot of the year!

Meet Ellen and Haley! 

I went to high school with Ellen and my sister graduated with Haley. This photo shoot has been much anticipated as Haley goes to school out of state we knew we wanted to do something while she was home on break. I am really glad we were able to work something out! I had so much fun with these two. Between shots we were catching up and talking about the past & present, it is always nice for me to be able to photograph friends! They were so easy going and so fun to work with. I have so many favorites from this shoot I couldn't even pick which ones I wanted to post, so I am going to have to consider this a sneak peak because there are just so many more to look through! Even though they kept saying they weren't photogenic I think they are beautiful. 

It has been a wonderful year and I am so glad I got to finish it off with these two! 

Thank you everyone that had faith in me this year, thank you to all of my clients, friends and family for all of your support. I am looking forward to 2012 and all of the new challenges, clients, and people I will meet along the way!

Parks Family

Taylor & Evan came into the studio a week before Christmas as a surprise to their mom we were able to take their pictures, order them, and have them ready for her to open yesterday! They were great to work with and I am overly happy with how their pictures turned out! 

You can tell they have a special bond as siblings and that they actually enjoy hanging out with each other and spending time together which is always a wonderful quality. 

I love that they came with their dad and brothers uniforms for one of their outfit changes because not only did it make it personable, it was also a unique idea! 

It was fun to shoot with these two! It is always great to work with easy going people! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! 

 

Anna {Senior}

On Friday I had the pleasure of meeting Anna, a senior from Bay City. She was really open to locations and ideas which is always super exciting! She showed up to our first location in shorts (keep in mind this shoot was on Friday and it was 23 degrees outside) I was shocked! 

I knew it was going to be a fun shoot, but I also knew we had to be quick because I didn't want her to freeze! She was a trooper and not only is she naturally beautiful she is an amazing model. Everything she did was so natural and you can tell in her pictures. 

Baby E

So a lot of people ask me what I do when I am not photographing. The answer: hang out with baby E. So when I am not shooting you or your kids, I am babysitting this little girl! She is the best! It is crazy how much joy you can get from such a tiny little girl, but she is the best!  I would not call it a job, even though I am with her everyday, I think of it more as time to hang out, sing songs, and play with her cool toys! So I did her Christmas card and 3 month pictures this week and I am going to share just a tiny sneak peak with you. I could talk about her for hours, but I am going to keep this one short and sweet! 

I didn't mean for this to be such a "colorless" blog post, but I didn't want to spoil the fun festive holiday photos just yet! 

Allie {Senior}

Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting Allie a senior from Hemlock. When I talked to her she had mentioned growing up next to the train tracks in Hemlock and so we decided we needed to go there for her shoot. We started off in the studio and I had a nice set up outside waiting for her when we were done with the indoor pictures before we hit the tracks! She has beautiful blue eyes and hair that goes on for days! She is beautiful. The best part of the shoot was when she told me she can't be serious, but if you look at this first image you would tell her she is crazy! Such a happy person she was a pleasure to work with. We even managed to squeeze in a few shots with mom & sister! (I will be posting more soon because there was too many to cram into 1 post) I loved these images so much I edited all 200+ pictures in 2 days! I've basically been attached to my computer so I hope you all like them as much as I do!
