FINALLY got a good family picture, of MY family {Southeast Michigan Family Photographer }

2011-01-05T13:18:00.000-08:00

After much ado, and blood shed and screaming and crying, lol. I was finally able to get some good family photographs. With the aid of a remote control, a second shoot and MUCH patience.....

I am really happy with the way they turned out. After 2 years in our new house, I will finally have something on our walls!

this is the main image of my wall display in a 24x36 canvas


the other images will be smaller and below the main image in color

Time for MY family pictures {Southest Michigan Photographer family portraits}

2010-12-20T06:17:00.000-08:00

SO finally we actually have a time and day to get our family portraits done. I have decided on a 24x36 canvas for my wall. NOW to get the images for that canvas. The plan was me and the hubs and the kid and grabbing the animals and bringing them in. Easy enough, right?

I got a decent self portrait.

The dog will cooperate occasionally

The cats, well who needs them anyway.lol

NO, it was not that easy

The first attempt I get.

More to follow.

Meet little Lilly

Isn't she precious?!!

2009-07-22T15:31:00.000-07:00

What a year.
I have been so busy, so slow and so crazy.
I moved in December and LOVE my new place. New Boston is only 12 miles away from Allen Park, but it is a WHOLE WORLD away. Allen Park is so CITY and New Boston and so wide open and country fresh. My business has been seriously slow out here but it will grow.

SO, here is what I have been up to.

and my favorite

2009-07-22T15:27:00.000-07:00

Think Pink Session

2008-03-11T13:47:00.001-07:00

For those not familiar with Think Pink Photography, you can read about it HERE.
Basically it is a charitable organization (of photographers) that has 2 main purposes: celebrating life and supporting breast cancer research.

I joined Think Pink because TOO many of us have been touched by breast cancer. I wanted to use my gift to bless people, but today I was blessed.

I got to meet a WONDERFUL family.

I lost my mom when I was 7. Seeing a loving family really means a great deal to me.
The love just OOZED out of this family.

Thank you for the opportunity!

Inspiration

2008-02-25T13:31:00.001-08:00

I love it when I get these type of shots. The shot that lets your really look into a child's soul. Is there anything more beautiful?

Sneak Peak time

2008-02-24T15:55:00.000-08:00

I saw these little guys at the local donut shop and HAD to give them a card. Their older sister was an added treat!

Strength and beauty

2008-01-29T07:56:00.000-08:00

Today's woman is strong and beautiful.

There is beauty in strength, both physical and spiritual.

I love seeing a woman who is proud of who she is and not afraid to show that strength!

A sneak peek. Celebrating adoption!

2008-01-25T12:40:00.001-08:00

I had the wonderful privileged of doing a celebration adoption photo shoot today. Little S is just amazing! It was such a joy to photograph her and her mother. Man I have the best job!

Man I feel like a woman!

2008-01-25T10:48:00.000-08:00

Having some fun with some beautiful women. Women are beautiful, all women. We all have SO much to offer to the world, to those we love, our friends, strangers and OURSELVES. Too often we are hard on ourselves and just do no love ourselves in the way we should. Not a selfish, I love ME so give me stuff way. Love ourselves as in take care of ourselves and accept ourselves the way we do for others.

So, I have decided to start photographing women. Women who are not pregnant. lol

Women who are beautiful in their own special way.

2008-01-13T19:29:00.001-08:00

A little something fun.

Amazing! Absolutley amazing!

2008-01-12T09:00:00.000-08:00

What terrific manners!!

2007-05-31T16:11:00.000-07:00

Just got done proofing baby W. Took forever to narrow down the selection!

Boys being BOYS!

2007-05-29T18:14:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun with these two!!
I wish I could bottle and sell the energy these guys have!

2007-05-29T17:45:00.000-07:00

I had the awesome pleasure of photographing baby W again.

I was able to photograph his mom when she was pregnant.

She is a wonderful friend of mine. Like me,, she is not the typical "mom". It was fun to help her find the gentle feminine mother inside of her.

His eyes were just to die for!
He is just an awesome little guy!
When she said she was coming over to pick of prints, I was so pleased to hear she wanted some new shots, since he is almost sitting up! He is almost sitting up!
SUCH a good little guy! Even when he had to take a snack break

Almost makes me want to have another one...not!! I love other peoples' kids, all the joys and none of the work. I love this job!

Well here we go

2007-04-28T07:53:00.000-07:00

I decided to start a blog and here it is!
