Chirish!

All the girls!

We had so much fun in Chicago for St. Patties this weekend (They celebrated the weekend before St Patrick day)  This picture pretty much sums up the weekend.  NON stop laughter!  I'll leave you with just a few more that I like.

My Bestie Shan (say CHEEZ)

How many Dutch girls does it take to open a wine bottle?

Oooo GRASS! MmmMM

Downtown at night

Editing

Ever wonder what happens to your photos behind the scene?  Well here is a before and after of my daughter Kay.  She is a little over done (I was playing with some new actions)...what is that?  What are actions?  Well when we edit your photos we use actions that we purchased (not cheap at all) or ones we create our selves from steps we do in Photoshop....its easier to show than tell apparently.

Aww isn't she just so cute! LOL...I may be a little biased.  We hope you all have a great weekend!  I know I will.  I will be in Chicago..who will be celebrating the oh so special St. Patty's Day!  Green River and Green beer!  Photos will hopefully be up next week!

Little Prince | Family session

Meet the Prince family.  They were one of the families who one a free session with me! Which was great because they were also friends of ours!  They were so great and fun to photograph.  Little G was so cute and handsome.  I was so happy when Mama Prince said she wanted to do outdoor photos (way to embrace our lovely Michigan weather!)  We were lucky that it wasn't to cold out.  I hope you enjoy this little peek at their session.  I'll post more of the session later on (its time for bed for me).  Thank You Prince family for letting me take these wonderful photos.  You are truly a wonderful family.

Chickedee | Personal

Just a few more of my little Bug-a-boo...Taylor was not into the having her photo taken.  Which I hope changes because Kyle and I get our engagment photos taken tomorrow and we are having a few done with the girls as well.  I will finally be in a photo with my girls.  It rarly happens because (1) I hate having my photo taken and   (2) I am always the one taking the photos.  I can't wait to have them done though.

Weekly Praise to my little ladies | Personal

So I would not be taking photos or pursuing my new career endeavor without my ladies (Kayden Gayle and Taylor Anne)  I first bought my camera because of Taylor...(I'll do my post on her later this week) but Kayden really inspired me to work on my photography and taking pictures of her has lead to taking photos of others!  So I am going to try and do a weekly post in honor of my baby ladies :)  Mostly it will have photos of them but sometimes I will be writing things they have taught me.  They teach me alot..you would think it was me who would teach them but they mostly teach me.  Patience is the biggest one LOL

This blue eyed girl who responds to Kay, Kay-D, Kay-D bug, Bug, Bug-a boo, and one not so known but between her and I Chickadee..she is my little birdie.  Mouth always open ready for food :)  The reason she has those chubby cheeks and a chubby rest of her.

Engagment | Shan and Jay

A quick peek at a session I did earlier for my best friends Shandra and Gerald.  It was a very very cold session and they both were such troopers through it.  We still have to finish it up indoors!  Can't wait till we finish this session up!  Shan and Jay have been together for 10 years! It really shows how great this couple is!   They recently became (officially) engaged on New Years (their anniversary).  I don't know anyone who is more in Love than these two.  Thank You so much you guys for giving me opportunity of photographing you guys!  I cant wait for your wedding!  I am going to cry my face off!

Personal: Kays workout

Kay found my headband and some how got it on her head.  Then proceeded to do some crazy moves.  She is growing up so fast.  Every day I watch her do new things, I have a love hate relationship with this growing up thing.  My oldest is 8 years old...I'm not ready for Kayden to get bigger!  Love my baby ladies so so much!

Yeah I know bad shot on my half but this is her favorite move right now.  Hopefully I will get a better one soon.  (she never does her cool stuff while I have my camera out)
