I met Wayne and his mother in Old Town Saginaw for some more exploring and a fun mini session. Wayne has a great smile and a super awesome tattoo! I love seeing how the light changes in an area depending on the day and time. It means I can see some of my favorite spots in all new ways. Yay!
I really enjoyed our mini-session and I’m looking forward to what we create for our full session!
I’ve been to Old Town Saginaw quite a bit lately. Everyone loves the cool look of the area and all of the grungy textures. I do too!
I met Phil and his mother around sunset when the light gets low, golden, and gorgeous! All of my senior reps received a mini-session with a full session to follow later in the summer. We captured some great images and I can’t wait for the full session!
T wanted to get some updated head shots to have for dance auditions. It had been a while since we had a session together so I was excited to do it. The day was sunny but a little chilly. You wouldn’t know it to look at T. He toughed it out and as a result, we got some fantastic images!
We headed down to Old Town Saginaw for the first part and wandered around looking for great textures and beautiful pockets of light. Then we went to Ojibway Island to capture some dancing action surrounded by green trees, grass and bright blue sky. Yay!
I had been waiting to meet this little guy for months! His mama was the winner of my contest back in December, and she wanted to save her session until after baby A was born. So I had months to wait until I could meet him! He was well worth waiting for. Look at that sweet face! And I just love his perfect, pouty lips.
He resisted falling asleep at first, and until he was really out, he didn’t want his arms moved at all! And he’s so strong! But we won (of course we did!) the waiting game and soon he was fast asleep. That was well worth waiting for as well.
He was so cute all cuddled up with his mama and daddy. And their happiness is pretty easy to see. Look at that beautiful smile on Mom!
You’ve seen G and her girls on the blog before. I am so pleased to have been chosen as her family photographer again and to meet more of her family! This time, I was photographing the three girls with their great-grandmother. Great-grandma is also an identical twin and so I was able to photograph the two sisters together as well! I loved it! What a lovely opportunity.
It was a fun session and I was glad to see the girls again. I loved seeing how big baby G is getting already! I just love her smile and chubby cheeks! Time flies though. It seems like I was just doing her newborn session and now, here she is, 6 months old already.
We did the session at great-grandma’s house in Linwood, Michigan. She has a beautiful big window at the front of the house, making the living room perfect for a portrait session!
I’m excited! This weekend I should have a radio ad running on WIOG! Yay! Recently, I met with the guy who is going to make that happen and we worked out the details of what I want to include.
I had been to the building where they’re located, but it had been a looooong time. So it was On-Star to the rescue again! I just can’t get over how fast and easy it is. You just push the button, let them know where you’re trying to go, and before you know it, the directions are there and you’re off!

Mikale’s birthday party was last weekend. I was in charge of getting his cake from my friend Heather and transporting it to the party. Eep! So much pressure! I was all worried that it would slide around in the trunk and something would smush something. Or something. I don’t know! I just didn’t want to mess up the cake. Especially since it was so cool!
Mikale is really in to Back to the Future and so our mother had a Flux Capacitor cake made for him. And it turned out really well! So neat looking!
I drove as carefully as a person can. I was still nervous because you never know what to expect with the roads in the spring. They tend to be at their bumpiest this time of year. So I was really glad that the Cruze is so smooth. Bud I’d hardly know I was driving on spring roads. Woo hoo! That, combined with my extra careful driving, meant that the Flux Capacitor cake arrived without any smushing at all. (But note my super nervous voice when I was still a little unsure about how it all went! ha!)
And Mikale loved the cake! Of course. How could he not?? Such a cool idea! We didn’t even want to cut it. But, alas, we could only look at it for so long, as there were lots of children who were much more ready to eat cake than admire it! NOMNOMNOM!

I had a lot of fun hiding eggs in the Cruze and Mikale had a lot of fun searching for them. Also, he really amuses me.
I had already gotten a ton of videos when my video camera died. So sad! And now it’s holding all those great videos hostage in it’s little dead body. Grrrr. I managed to get some new videos taken, but you are missing out on Mikale saying some amusing things. Fortunately, you get to see Mikale say new amusing things.
There are more places to put eggs in the Cruze than one might think and it was neat to explore the whole car looking for them.
