Naughty Norah

Norah is now in a toddler bed...which means its a little bit of a battle trying to keep her in bed to fall asleep each night. Well this is how last night went: I got her ready for bed...hugs kisses, prayers, paci, "Snuggles", and her cup. I said "nigh night"...and headed down to my office. About three minutes later I hear little footsteps upstairs and I head up there to see her coming into the kitchen trying to come back to the basement to hang out with us. I told her "Back in bed"...she does a quick 180 and runs back in bed. I said "next time you will get a spanking if you get out of bed". She just looks at me with those insanely beautiful brown eyes...as if to say "we will see won't we". I head back down stairs...and thought I heard footsteps again...but she never came down stairs, so I thought we were ok. I headed to bed about one hour later, and this is what I saw...Norah crashed out at the top of our stairs to the basement...she knew she would get in trouble if I saw her, yet..she was so willing to risk it to not be in that bed. Jayme and I had a good laugh about it, and of course I had to get my camera out. So we shall see how tonight works. She is still going strong at 9:30pm...I am ready for bed, but she seems to still have energy to spare. good thing she is cute...because she sure knows how to be naughty. =)

Lindsey Senior Photos

Thank you to Pam and Lindsey for choosing me as your photographer. It as a fun evening working with both of you. God was good to us, as it just started raining as we were finishing up the shoot. I hope you enjoy your photos...thanks again!!

"baby anna" per norah

I was honored to photograph baby anna this weekend. Norah calls her "baby anna". =) so cute!
I was just thrilled to upload my photos and see how beautiful they were looking. Anna is just too adorable. I just love my job...and I love sunset lighting! =)

New Logo

I am so excited!! I just got my new logo from the graphic designer I have been working with for a couple of weeks. She did a great job. I wanted something simple, clean, and a touch of whimsy, and this is what she made. I love the flowers...notice they are blooming...hopefully that symbolizes my future business. =) When I look at it...I think, its so me.! Then...earlier today we were in Chicago at IKEA and I found this amazing canvas of light pink magnolia blossoms...I couldn't believe it, it matched my logo perfectly, so now it is in my office. I was in Chicago to see David Jay and Jasmine Star for a wonderful photography seminar on marketing. David Jay is "the photographer" of the photography world. He really inspired me with my business. And Jasmine was so cute and energetic, she really encouraged me to continue what I am doing...and that I am on the right track. Norah and Jayme came to Chicago too...we made a little 24 hour getaway out of it. Though, if you plan to go to IKEA...don't take your toddler!! =)

The Williams Family

Here are some of my favorite people. My dear friend Jami, love ya girl! Thank you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. It was so fun. South Haven is my favorite spot for photos...there is so many great spots! And...Norah and Jayme can come with me and play at the beach.
Hope you guys enjoy your photos...love ya!!! =)

Mike and Kristin

These two were so adorable!! I had a blast at their wedding. They honestly made my job super easy. There were so many cute little girls at this wedding too...I think I took more pictures of them then the bride. =) I am so happy they chose me to photograph their wedding...it was one of my favs!!
Congrats you two!!! =) Enjoy! After you hit "play" be patient and let it load...it takes about 1 minute. Thanks!!

back to norah.

I have some faithful family blog followers...and I know they will be asking for more photos of Norah...so here are a couple from last week....an evening out on our patio. Norah was enjoying marshmellows while mommy and daddy were roasting them for smores.

Beautiful girl

This is Jaden! Isn't she so pretty!?! I was excited to look at these photos for two reasons...one she is gorgeous! and two...she made us work for these photos...right Grandma??!? =) Her Grandma had a great workout chasing this little girl all over the park. Toddlers will do that to you. They make you work really hard...but it is so worth it when you see their photos...beautiful.

Here you go Misty and Jill! =)

Here are the rest of the photos that I did for my friend Misty. Jill...you looked amazing and you were so much fun! I hope you enjoy looking at yourself in a whole new glammed up way. =) It was a fun evening with both of you, and honesty Misty...lets do it again!!! =)

Tim and Dani's Wedding

I have known this couple for quite awhile. They have been highschool sweethearts, and it has been fun to see them grow up together...and now get married. I am so honored that they chose me to photograph their wedding. It was the happiest wedding I have ever done. Dani just oozed love and joy!! So thank you to Tim and Dani for making my job so fun!!! Enjoy!
