Junior League

Saturday the 15th, Junior League of Lansing hosted their annual signature fundraiser at the Country Club of Lansing. The theme this year was A Night in New York and included gambling, dancing, drinks and a runway show! This event was a lot of fun and I had to share the AMAZING cake made by A Piece of Cake in East Lansing.

Claire

My step sister Sarah came over Wednesday night to visit. We don't get to see them as often as we would like, so it was a special treat. Claire is so fun and was running all over the place. Austin had a great time trying to keep up with her. These images were so much fun and she was such a ham, I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. I love my job!

Cullen Family

The Cullen family stopped in Tuesday evening for a family portrait session. We were lucky that it wasn't too freezing and we were able to take a few portraits outside! The boys were so much fun and I love the bright eyes. We met the Cullen's at our church, Trinity, and feel so blessed to be a part of the amazing community of families at our church.

Santa Baby

We had this idea to stick a hat on our son Austin and take some santa baby images in just a diaper for our Christmas card. Wow, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Austin is very used to getting his picture taken, and he likes to play in the studio. Which means we end up chasing him all over the place and trying to stick a hat on that he keeps throwing off. Add to that his fearless climbing onto things way to tall for him and his attraction to everything technical, it makes for a very entertaining half hour! So next time you come in for portraits and your children are running everywhere, you are singing songs to distract them, and are slightly tortuing them by putting a silly hat on over and over,... don't worry, we do it too!

Plath Maternity Session

Hattie and Kent are expecting their first child (a boy) the end of this month. I always think it is so amazing how people find us, and I am so glad to have met these two. They are from about 45-50 minutes away from our studio, and made the drive two weeks before her due date! These portraits really show how in love they are with eachother and their new baby. I can't wait to meet him sometime next month.

Mason Family

The Mason Family lives just down the street from us and I am so glad we finally had the chance to take their portraits! Johnny is an awesome kid, and very enthusiastic Spartan fan. Riley is six months old and absolutely adorable. We feel so blessed to have such great neighbors!

Caitlin's Indoor Session

After a hectic week, Caitlin stopped in for her senior portrait studio session. It was great to see her again and I remembered how much fun and how natural she is in front of the camera. Caitlin used to dance quite a bit, so we (Brent took quite a few of the indoor images) also had the chance to take a few dance shots (which is always fun for me!!).
