Power in a plain ole stick {Michigan Childrens Photographer}

Sunday was so amazingly gorgeous that after my Christmas Mini Session Shoots my son and daughter and I …along with our little Daisy…went on a walk in the park down the road from us.  While walking my son picked up ‘The Walking Stick’ and brought it home.  What fun the kids had with that stick…and it even made it into our little family photo shoot I needed to get done for my OWN Christmas cards.  Ya know, Xbox 360, Wii, going to Disney (well maybe not that), all couldn’t hold a candle to the imagination of a kid and the limitless ability to make found objects fun and interesting.

 

STICKS FOR ALL YOU IN YOUR STOCKINGS THIS YEAR:)

What power a stick has?

Slideshow to Share {Michigan Newborn Photographer}

I wanted to try to upload images that people purchase through a beautiful slideshow that they all can share with family and friends this year. Family is important; especially with the economic times we have it all comes down to “getting to the basics”. With this in mind I am striving to allow family to be more important in my life and in my clients as well.

This Months Theme is basically called

“A FAMILY THAT HUGS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER”

This special will include 3 5X7’s (you know the drill, one for you and one for your in-laws and one for your parents) and a

11X14 CANVAS

print of your family!!!!

Little man growing quickly {Michigan Baby Photographer}

My little nephew visited in the middle of Jan and I was able to ‘quickly’ get some shots of him while he was here.

Then we blinked and her turned ONE~!! My brother flew me out to get his one year pictures done and while I was there we visited my good friend Shellie Gansz of Shutterbox Photography and she graciously let us tromp around her loft studio and take pictures as well as in her studio. What a treat……and what an amazingly busy child he has become!

Here is some cool shots of him…..isn’t he a sweetie!!!

A sneak-peek for a really cute 1 year old.

Thank you Mr. “L” for making me feel so good and letting me hold you and making me feel welcomed!  You are such a handsome little guy and it is no wonder why your grandma and mom are so into you!  You were so vivacious and inquisitive and finally at the end where you finally found out that snow is COLD, well it really brought back memories for me when my little ones had the same experience.

Here is your long awaited sneek……..

Mr. Happy…..and his two toothums

 

Finally, I am happy to say, I am posting Mr. Happy’s pictures and let me tell you what a little cutie he is! 

I laugh so hard at the babies who are just as happy as can be and laughing and smiling and BAM…..look at you with eyes like “What you say Willus??” (okay I am totally dating myself with the Different Strokes reference!!)

I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your little Family and just how much fun his different expressions are in each picture…..PRICELESS!

 

YEAH!!!!!!!!! Two Toothum Sandwich!!

Children of the Shoe Maker

Is that how it goes…or something like that???

 

I finally have been taking a bit more pics of my kids…still impromptu but usually when they are clean and at least they are cooperating.

 

Here is a couple updated pics of all my kids taken within 3 weeks ago.

 

I think they are completely adorable and still {as I wipe a tear from my eye} growing WAY too fast.  I told Aron it is okay for him to stop at this age, he doesn’t need to grow anymore and don’t collect $200.00 on his way around.

Where does the time go??? {Seriously, if you have an answer to this question please leave a comment!}

Ann Arborteum’s beauty was matched by this family!

Meeting up with the “B” family in downtown AA (that is Ann Arbor to those who don’t know the AA squared) was simply pleasurable.  Not only was the area picturesque but they are a complete joy.  Lil “K” was finding out that the dirt path felt funny under her chubby fingers and then promptly wiped them on her lovely ‘WHITE’ dress!!!  What can you do?  She is just being a normal 15 month old right!  Climbing up on the bench, climbing down on the bench, climbing up on the bench….well, you get the idea.

Looking at her activity and looking how wonderful her mom and dad were coping with her energy while trying to get everyone together for that perfect shot made me think of how quickly this time will go for them.  How much I try to remember my own and how they were back when they were 15 months old and it is really tough sometimes to recall that all so distant memory.  I envy this family.  They will have these pictures of that day and they will have vivid proof and memory of how that day was and just how their little darling was so energetic, laughed, and giggled while walking with a wobble under the uneven ground.

Here is your sneak-peek…..loved being with you that day!  Aron says “HI”!

Isn’t it fun to dress up babies!!!

I went out west to visit my nephew and to take his 6 month old pictures.  He really is only 5 1/2 months old but my schedule is getting SO full this was literally the only weekend I have available for the next 3 months!!!  REALLY, the ONLY ONE!!

So—we went to a little boutique in Tacoma after being picked up at the Sea Tac, of course after smothering the my nephew with loads of kisses, and picked up some cute outfits along with Baby Legs.  Well, my brother thought we were insane for buying a boy baby leg warmers but I have to say these are by far the funnest things to have little ones wear and if you live in even a bit of colder climates a must!!  You can put these under pants and/or skirts for the girls, in the winter and keep those little legs warm when they are transferred from place to place. And, these are easy to remove if they get too hot!!! 

Look below for the ‘gerber’ baby in the Baby Legs!

 

Here is to all the SPARTIES that look at my blog!!  My brother was a gymnast for Michigan State and he bleeds Green…..well, hypothetically speaking!

Here he is just a reading away….He is SO ADVANCED!

 

And here we start with the three babies they had when they met and married……

Sisterly Love!!!

This was just a wonderful day! The weather was wonderful and this family couldn’t have been more fun!! Really up for anything and just amazingly sweet! The two girls really got along (for those mom’s with siblings that often don’t!!) and loved eachother. After being downtown we went to the park and even with the temptation of the monkey bars and slides the girls were still great listeners and just really accomodating. Thank You “W” family for a wonderful day!!!
