vacation

Just a note that I will be on vacation 7/24 to 8/4... which means to emails, no orders, no phone calls until I get back. =)
Now stop reading this and go out and enjoy your summer. =)



FYI, we're headed to Rome and cruising the Mediterranean, so I'm sure I'll be taking *lots* of pictures...

just for fun

I've been posting so many newborns lately, thought I'd show something on the other end of the "childhood" spectrum.
I've known this girl for quite a while now, and it's hard to believe she's headed to college in the fall! She had her senior pictures taken at a local studio earlier in the year, and wasn't super thrilled about them. So when I found out a workshop I was going to needed models, I thought it'd be a perfect to invite her!
She was quite a trooper, posing all afternoon for all these photographers, going all over downtown Detroit... but I think now she'll have an amazing collection of senior pictures that others will envy.
Isn't she stunning and sweet, all mixed together? =)

precious

Had the most enjoyable session this morning, photographing this beautiful newborn girl.
Parents who trust me to try anything + a newborn who will sleep through anything + such delicate, tiny features = a session that left me happy for the rest of the day.
It was so great to see guys again! Congratulations on your beautiful girl. I know you were eager to see a few of these...and I am eager to share!




look at those lips...







Meet her guardian...




You may recognize this couple from here... and still gorgeous.

i'm glad i waited

For some reason, I had this particular pose in mind during this recent newborn session... but no matter how much I tried, this guy just wouldn't do it! So I actually gave up, since we got plenty of other good shots anyways. But then I stuck around for lunch... and after we both had a bit to eat... he finally cooperated. =) So do you think it was worth the wait?



More to come later...

intricate beauty

Just a little post to say hello, taking a breath in the midst of my craziness.
Was in LA last weekend for a wedding. It was good to see lots of family... and go to my first bridal henna party. =)



Can you find the groom's name hidden within the design?

Congratulations you guys!
