Alison {class of 2013}

Alison and her mom Dawn met me in Bay City last night for her senior pictures. After being rained out twice we finally were given a beautiful day on the beach. I knew right away this shoot was going to be so much fun. Alison told me I could do whatever I wanted and even offered to do flips for me! 

We braved the beach, the mud, and even the water to capture Alison's pictures. Overall though I think this has to be one of my very favorite shoots. 

Here is the sneak peak of Alison's senior pictures. 

Davis Wedding

Courtney and Zack were Married in September at Our Lady of the Lakes Church in Waterford, MI. I was honored to be asked to photograph their wedding. Amanda and I went down and met the girls early in the morning at the hair salon. We knew right away they were going to be a great group! The girls were dancing in the salon and the party did not stop. The boys were equally as energetic when Amanda got to them! I had such a blast with this group, they had a lot of character and they were a lot of fun to work with! Courtney made such a beautiful bride and you could see in Zack's eyes just how in love with her he is. I even made a comment to them that couples like them are the reason I love doing what I do.  I know everyone is anxiously waiting for this blog so I skipped the sneak peak and decided to give you a full preview!

Maternity {Sneak Peak}

Yesterday I had the opportunity of photographing Baby E's mom for a maternity shoot! We braved the windy day and went outside to take pictures. E wanted to play in the leaves and the newly walking 1 year old was so excited to be outside. So while she was off playing Clare and I had a chance to take some photos of her alone. After looking through the pictures Amanda and I realized that she does not by any means look 8 months pregnant! She looks wonderful and the wind did wonders for her hair! I cannot wait until this little girl joins the world! Baby E won't be the baby anymore, but she is sure going to be a great big sister!

E turns 1

Over the last year I have had the pleasure of watching E grow up and capture it on my camera! It is so fun to look back at the photos and remember the different stages she was going through! 

I can't believe it has already been a year since I met this little girl! Amanda and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow up from the first day we met when she was just learning how to smile to today watching her learn to walk! I can't wait to spend many more birthday's with little E. 

Enjoy the photos from her first birthday shoot!
