Lexi's 1 year *session*

While dark clouds were moving in from the south we were afraid that the rain was going to ruin our session.  With so many smiles, a happy personality and lots of help from big brother Nick I was able to photograph this little cutie-pie right before the rain started!  Maybe even got just a little bit wet, but it was well worth it!  Happy Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!

Big brother Nick was very excited to get in on the picture action!

Happy Birthday to you!

 Happy Birthday to you!

 Happy Birthday dear Lexi!

 Happy Birthday to you!

Thanks so much to Kristie for asking me to tag along with the kids and take some pictures!  It was fun!  I hope your birthday weekend with Lexi is fabulous!

Woldring Wedding

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one thing I love about taking pictures of such a special day!  Weddings are so much fun and so full of life, laughter and tears!  This wedding was extra fun because I had the chance to hang out with a good friend that I last seen almost a year ago!  There is something about not "just" being the photographer at a wedding, but feeling like your part of the fun!  Thanks to everyone involved in this special day for Scott and Carol that made me feel like part of the family and part of the fun that came along with this special day!  :)

This was a great moment to catch!  I thought it was cute to see all the girls peeking out at the guests!

And of course a girl needs to check her Facebook one last time before she walks down the aisle!

Location of the wedding was at the Apple Blossom Chapel and Gardens in Fennville, MI

You may kiss the *Bride*

The first dance for the Bride and Groom is always a special moment!

This was the best cake fight ever!!  They were covered in cake and frosting!  What fun!

And, we ended the night with lots of fun dancing!

Thanks again to everyone!

Many Blessings

Amazing Grace

Sweet Grace is 18 months old, independant and ready to explore!  We spent the evening in Silver Lake and she was on the move from the moment I met her!  So much beauty that surrounded her and she wanted to see every bit of it!  Her favorite of course was the water, and even with it being too cold for our adult toes she didn't seem to mind, I think she would have jumped right in if mom and dad were not close enough to stop her!!  :)

What a little princess!!  She was so cute with the beach all to herself and princess wand in hand!!

What a Doll!!

Thanks so much Grace for bringing out mom and dad for a fun evening on the beach!!

Many Blessings!!

Macher Family Session

Its been a while since I have gotten the chance to sit and blog for a while!  I have missed it so!!  Lately i'm finding that most of my time is taken up by being a mom and baby proofing my house!

 I feel very blessed to be out doing something that I love!  Enjoying the late summer season evening sessions on the beach with such wonderful families and friends! The Macher family was a blast to spend some time with!  Although, the wind was kicking and the first chill of fall was in the air, they still made the most out of their session!   Please enjoy these cutie pies, and be jealous like me of all their beautiful ocean blue eyes!  

Love this one!!  To me the little man is getting ready to give a huge MUAH!!!  Each personality shines right through in this picture!!

Love these eyes!!  Such a beautiful family!!

Its a little cold, but these big guys didn't mind getting their toes wet!

Thanks so much Macher family for reaching out to me and asking me to

capture some family fun pictures!! 

Many Blessings!!
