Summer of 2011 and YES my brother is in the Scottville Clown Band!! :)

Even with the thunder booms and a few lightning bursts we stuck it out to listen to the good ole Clown Band.  The weather ended up clearing up after a bit and we had a great time!  We would never let a little rain keep us from seeing Adam do his Clown Band THANG!!  He kept it a secret for a while and then he spilled the beans!  He joined the Scottville Clown Band!  I asked my sister-in-law Tiffany where in the heck Adam could have found those shoes!  Well I guess those hot Michigan converse looking shoes are available at Wal-mart!  LOL  Adam is a die hard Michigan fan all the way.  And, he is having a great time on this new adventure.  I hear its quite the adventure and a lot of fun.  The Scottville clown band travels all over to play and they have a ton of fans!  So to all my local friends and family!  Make sure to be on the lookout for Adam marching with the Clown Band for our Annual Pentwater Homecoming celebrations!!!!  :)



Its always fun to post a not so serious blog post!  It was fun to work on something a little more silly and personal to me!  Never leave home without my camera!  Especially when you know you are going to be around grown men dressed as clowns, construction workers, M&Ms, Sailors, women and many more interesting outfits!  Happy Summer and safe travels to the Scottville Clown Band!

Travis and Lori ** family session**

I think summer is finally here!  It was a beautiful evening in Silver Lake when I met up with Travis, Lori, Anna and Ali!  I loved their story and enjoyed being a part of Anna and Ali's getting to know Michigan Summer!  This wonderful family has been out of the country for the last 7 years as Missionaries and they are now back in Michigan.  Mom and Dad are wanting to introduce Michigan and all of its beauty to their girls that have grown up out of the country for most of their lives! 

Poor Ali got soaked here!  It was a little chilly! 

I love the smile here!  Absorbing in the moment!  What fun! 

Thanks for a great evening!  I hope you enjoy your summer here in Michigan! 

Many Blessings!!  -dayna



**Janie** 3 Months already!

Janie is 3 months old already!  Her favorite place is right beside me in her Baby Papasan while we listen to music and mama works on photos!  :)  She also loves to have talks with Daddy when he gets home from work.  She always has big smiles for him!  Photography has picked up for me this summer and i'm happy to say that my weekends are filling up.  I'm happy to be a busy Mommy of Three!

We have given her the nick name of "Pickle"  She seems to like it!

She is using her eyes a lot now to discover all of her surroundings!

She just rolled over for me from her back to her tummy yesterday!  She is getting so strong!

She has her eyes on her big sisters here!  She loves them so!

She really is so sweet!  She is the perfect addition to our family!  I even love our quiet bottle time early in the morning when its just her and I.

I really love her and that bright headband!!  But, here is one without!  LOL  Her hair is growing and even the little bald spot on the back of her head is filling in now with peach fuzz!

Awe!!  My girls!  Bailee is heading into 2nd grade next year and Kenna will be in Kindergarten all day!  I don't know what I would have done if Janie wasn't here with both of my big girls going to school all day!  I guess i'll figure that out in another 5 years when Janie is ready for Kindergarten!  :) 

**Maternity Session** Baby Lamb

This cute baby bump carries a special bundle of joy!  My new baby niece will be here soon and I couldn't

be more excited for Adam, Tiffany and Big Sister Rowan to welcome her into their

family!  I know they are so excited for this new experience for their family and i'm sure they can't wait to see her little face!  Really I can't wait to hold her, squeeze her little cheeks and kiss her tiny toes!  

So here goes my first Maternity Session.  Please enjoy!

:)  Thanks so much Adam, Tiffany, Rowan and Baby Belly Lamb for spending a morning with me!  

I can't wait to meet my new little niece!  :)

Van Nortwick Family **Session**

First **session**  of the season and I was beyond ready!!  Baby Janie is 3 months already and now the time has come to get out there and get back to taking some pictures!  I guess the slow start to 

spring this year has held us back some!  :)  So for the first time since Janie was born

I left her in the very safe arms of her daddy and two big sisters!  They did great with her, 

which I knew they would!  I will not complain about the fact that she loves her momma so!  I know

someday she will no longer want just me!  :)  

So out to the Orchards I went to meet up with the Van Nortwick family!  Being surrounded by little

girl faces I had so much with this little Man!!  Please Enjoy!

Thanks so much for reaching out to me Becky for pictures!!

Your little man makes me smile!  He is the cutest!! 

Newest addition to our family! Janie Diane born 2/23/11

Introducing our new baby girl blog!  Janie Diane!

Last June we learned the exciting news of a new baby that would be coming into our family!!  After a long 39 weeks, hot summer and cold winter she is finally here.  Our little family feels complete and perfect with her in our life.  We couldn't be happier.  Janie entered our world on 2/23/11 at 7:50am weighing 8lbs 2oz.  

This is going to be more of a Birth Announcement/Brag post for my friends and family!!  Please enjoy my blog!

I'm in love with her tiny wrinkly feet and toes!!  

Just think of all the travels these cute little feet will take!  

Bailee and Mackenna were very excited to bring their new baby sister home!  They have just loved on her since we have gotten home.  They have been the best big sisters a girl and mom could ask for.  Below is a picture of the white board that was in my hospital room.  I loved the hearts and LOVE that was added by Bailee!  We really are a family full of LOVE!

I have a new model in the house now!  She is a week old in these pictures!!  The best part about it is that she is not sick of my camera yet like her big sisters are!!  LOL  She will get sick of it eventually i'm sure!

Thanks for letting me brag!!  Please enjoy family and friends!!

Lamb Family **Session**

I always have a great time capturing images for my family, here is 2010 of my brother Adam and his beautiful family.  I can't believe its already been a year that I have been taking pictures.  We did their family pictures last year, and I am so happy to have learned so much since then!  Thanks to Tiffany, Adam and Rowan for inviting me and the girls out for some picture taking and Christmas Parade fun in Ludington!  Miss Rowan has the most beautiful blue eyes, personality and smile that she gets from her Daddy!!  :)
