Kyle and Julie's Wedding

Congratulations to Julie and Kyle!  

I received a phone call from Julie looking for a photographer for her quick and simple but oh so special wedding.  Julie was the most wonderful bride to work with and her personality and spirit rocked the short amount of time I got to spend with her.  

We were all set in place, the groom and family waiting on the beach for Julie to arrive.  After the long walk down the deck and beach we waited to see her come up over the dune in such beauty accompanied by her son.  He was oh so proud to walk his Momma down the path to the handsome groom and family waiting on the beach.  With Julie in place the whole family gathered tightly around them to share in this happy day.  Watching the kids take everything in with such excitement made me smile, they were so excited.  

Thanks so much Julie and Kyle for asking me to be apart of your special day, it was really a pleasure to work with you and your family.  As soon as I walked through the front door I was greeted with smiles and love.  Best wishes to all of you!

One of Julie's sons was telling her at this moment that she looks like a Princess!  Oh so cute!

I love the close attention of the youngest boys!  They are very interested in all the details of the wedding!

:)  Makes me smile!  

Many Blessings!

What a blast it was to meet Samantha and her mom Joley from the Garden City area.  Their family visits Pentwater every summer and they thought it would be nice to have some senior pictures done while on vacation this year as Pentwater is a place that Samantha and her family love visiting.  Thanks so much Samantha for rockin' out the camera!  You were a blast to work with!  Best of wishes to you and enjoy your Senior Year of High School.  Thanks again!!  :)

I love this giggle picture!  We were trying to be serious!  :)

Patti and Andy *Engagement Session*

Its always fun to spend time with a couple that is engaged and so in love!  I was so excited to meet up with Patti and Andy to take some engagement pictures!  Patti and Andy both had some great ideas and I had fun working with both of them!  I put a lot of pressure on myself for these pictures as Andy is also a photographer and works for the local paper!  LOL  I am my worst critic!!  LOL

Patti and Andy are planning a July wedding in Ohio!!  And, to think it all started with an introduction by Patty herself to Andy!  It was for sure meant to be!!

 Many thanks to you both for a fabulous evening!

She is beautiful!!  And, has the best personality!

Thanks again,

Bryan Senior *Session*

An old friend contacted me about taking senior pictures of her Grandson Bryan! One of my favorite things I like about doing photography is connecting with old faces and meeting new friends!  It was fun to see each other and catch up, as her son is one of my brothers best friends that I used to see around my house all the time! 

 Introducing Bryan who remembers going to Pentwater Public School a long while back while in Elementary and it worked out great to take Senior photos right here in a town that he remembers and has fond memories of!  Bryan is graduating from Spring Lake High School and was a lot of fun to work with!  Of course I had to embarrass him a little to get those flirty grins and smiles!  Grandma, mom and myself had fun teasing him about girlfriends and bikini's!  Best of luck to you Bryan and thanks so much for spending the morning with me here in Pentwater!

Had to end with this one!!  One of my favorites!!  The fact that his buddy had such a sloppy mouth made us all laugh!  Thanks again Bryan, Laura and Mary I look forward to working with you all again!!  

Have a great Senior Year!

**Janie's 1st Birthday**

The morning of her first birthday I was in tears!  My last baby has turned 1, and this is our last 1st Birthday party!  I know, I know its time to move on to bigger and better things!  Fun times camping, road trips and Cedar Point with big kids!  My mom thought I was nuts to be sad, she knew she was done after she had my brother and I!  I guess I would probably be one of those girls that would have babies because I enjoy them so much!  Its a good thing for my husband that our house it already full and I don't want to explode our home at the seams!  So, here is my baby Janie's first birthday pictures!  Lucky for me we headed to Pennsylvania to hang out with Uncle Char and Aunt Tammy which gave me the opportunity to take Janie's session photos at McConnell's Mills State Park! Which is a beautiful place and I love to visit there!

Happy Birthday to you!!  Happy Birthday to you!  Happy Birthday dear Janie!!

Getting a taste!!  I'm waiting patiently for the mess!

So, yes I stuck her toes in!  I couldn't help myself!

Really is that all the mess your going to make??

MMMM good!!  I love that messy face!

Its my Birthday!!  Present time!!

This is her Mommy I've had enough face!!  She really just wants to explore!  And thats what i'll let her do!  Always trying to lead her in the right direction!  But I know she will have to learn some on her own!

Thanks for my sappy moment!
