Ok, so here it is…my first maternity session that I was blessed enough to do for a dear friend of mine. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. The fact that she is beautiful and sweet as can be made me feel a bit more relaxed and not so “excitable”. If you know me, you know I am a pretty excitable person…you know how hunter’s will get “buck fever”? Well, I get “camera fever” hahaha! Being a natural light photographer I was so worried that we would not have enough light coming in through the windows, even though where we did the shoot is FULL of huge windows. God however was smiling down on us and blessed us with a beautiful sun shiny day. The sun was just streaming in through all those windows…and boy did I take advantage of it. It was pretty warm (hot actually) in the room we were in, I was sweating and T was cool as a cucumber, she was a real trooper and did all that I asked. The look I was wanting to capture was soft and dream like. I wanted the feeling of pure beauty and peacefulness to come through and I think I got that accomplished. I see a few things I would change, like I seemed to keep her almost in the same position and shot from the same angle (nerves take over sometimes) this was a huge learning experience for me and loved every minute of it. I am very pleased with how the shoot went and happy with the final outcome. T you are beautiful and truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to capture this blessed time in your life. Love you!!!

So here she is…my beautiful friend T…enjoy!

Being a natural light photographer, winters here in Michigan are tough for me. But when a beautiful day comes along like we had on Tuesday I am all over it. I get my gorgeous and usually cooperative children and head outside for some of “Mom’s therapy”. So out we went and enjoyed feeling the sun on our face and feeling it warm our blood, just enjoying the fresh air and each other. My son was all into the photography and pulling out his best “GQ” moves for me…lol. My daughter on the other hand, well..she really didn’t want much to do with it. She had a bit of a ‘tude and that always makes me giggle. Even when she’s full of her ‘tude, she’s still my sweet girl and well, I have to capture ALL of her little personality…so here they are, my beautiful children, my loves..Thank you God for the wonderful day!

My little princess and I had a girls afternoon today while daddy and big brother went and did “man things”. We were out and about and decided to stop at an orchard and pick some yummy apples. It’s ok, we know the farmer!

One of my favorite photographers is a woman named Skye Hardwick an extremely talented child photographer. She is one of my inspirations. When I stumbled on her, quite by accident I was thrilled. As I said in my bio, I am a very non traditional photographer and thought there was no call for the kind of photography that I did or liked. When I found Skye and saw the possibilities..well I was excited to say the very least! Skye used to hold photography workshops to share her wonderful talent, but has gotten so busy that she has “retired” from that. The great news is that she put her workshops into a PDF workbook. Sharing techniques, strategies, how she relates to children, editing..you name it she shares. Well, Skye has asked me and others to help her spread the word about her incredible workshop workbook.
