Baby Gavin

I must apologize for changing up my blog "look" I am still working on getting slideshows on here...so please excuse all the changes. I will hopefully have it figured out sooner than later.
This is Gavin...the little baby I asked for you to pray for this Spring. He had his heart surgery, and is doing wonderful! He was so fun to photograph...extremely happy baby, and so so cute as you can see.

Then us big kids went to Cedar Point. I love "Top Thrill Dragster"...that is a rush!! It is a 17 second ride...but believe it is so awesome!!

just norah





I pulled out some pictures from our South Haven trip a couple weekends ago. They haven't been "touched up" so hopefully they come across ok on your computer screen. Norah has been getting used to the beach lately. I did a photo shoot out there last week, and again tonight, and when we pulled up to the beach. She started squealing and clapping. She calls swimming "fwimming"...so cute huh! =)
If you look close in the last picture of her standing on the bike rack...you can see the cookie in her hand, that she refused to give up during her little "photo shoot"....already a diva.

Cora and Stella









I had the honor of photographing some of Norah's grilfriends. =) Cora and Stella are like family to us. Cora enjoyed showing me her dance moves...she is a natural when in costume and in front of the camera. =) Stella...wasn't so easy to impress...but she threw me a smile every so often. Thanks girls, it was fun!!

new website

My website is finally up and running....well almost. The portrait site is still not working right, so hopefully that will be fixed by the end of the week. I am just so excited though to have a totally new look, it represents me and my work so much better. I will be posting alot more pictures that I have taken in my business for people to see. I have now linked my blog to my business website, so alot of potential clients will be checking out my family.=)
So check it out, and let me know what you think.

family picture


We had a rough weekend in South Haven...weather wise. But we were able to get some family pictures taken. Here is one of my favorites. I tweaked the picture with some new "actions" i got for Photoshop...just in case anybody wanted to know. =) I am quickly becoming a photoshop junkie!!
Norah, my mom and I are off to Cedar Point to see my sister and my nephew Marshall from NC...we haven't seen them since Christmas and I am looking forward to a fun relaxing weekend together. I did a couple photo shoots this week, so I will post some pics from those after my weekend with my family.

cute aint she.


This is my fav. pic of Norah while we were in South Haven. The little stinker had a "meltdown" during dinner, so we ate really fast, and then went walking through downtown South Haven...so here she is happy and acting like she didn't humilate her parents at a resteraunt only 20 minutes earlier.

busy busy busy....

Hi everyone, good grief am I busy. And these storms we have been getting are just a kick in the face for me. This picture is of one of the models we photographed at the workshop I went to. It was so fun! I really learned alot. We had big plans for this past weekend in South Haven, but every evening we had a bad thunderstorm go through...so I had to reschedule the photo shoots I had planned out there. We came home yesterday from South Haven, and found we have had no power all weekend. It came back on while I was at Panera Bread catching up on my Internet life. Well...I get home and realize the cable is out! So we still have no phone, cable, or the kicker.....Internet. So here I am again at Panera Bread....getting some work done with the Internet. Hope everyone is doing well...and that the storms didn't affect everyone else as bad as the did us. Oh...well...there is always something to stress about right?!

Wow....what a busy weekend I had last weekend. I got to attend this amazing photography workshop. I unfortunetly could only go to half of it because I had t wo weddings to photograph....but I am so inspired after going to that workshop. I met some amazing photographers...who are so nice and so willing to share their talent and knowledge of the business. I am in the process of revamping my whole business, and getting a new fancy website...I will let you all know when it is "LIVE"!!
We are going to spend some much needed "family time" in South Haven this weekend. I pray for good weather...I am told it will be hot enough, just as long as the rain stays away. I am doing two photoshoots out on the beach too this weekend....so I will work a little...and Jayme and Norah will be playing alot!. hmmm... that doesn't sound fair. =)
Well, I better get packing...have a great weekend everyone!
