I photographed a princess birthday party this past weekend! There were many cute little guests! I had a ton of fun on this warm sunny day I think the photographs speak for themselves!

All the girls got to wear crowns during the party!

Love the sunlight in her hair!

I got to photograph a beautiful little 2 year old today. Kierstyn was a whirlwind of fun, she has tons of personality and was very busy dancing,laughing, and singing-what a sweetheart! Lucky for us the rain held out until our session was over, here are some of my favs from the day:)

LOVE those pale blue eyes!

Hugs for the bunny…and kisses for mommy.

So cute in her itty bitty sunglasses:)

Thank you Stacey, Cole, and Kierstyn- can’t wait to see you all soon to show you the rest of the photos:)

I haven’t posted anything personal in awhile so I thought I’d share a few images of my summer with my wonderful hubby! There are some seriously cute kiddos in our life that we love dearly and we’ve spent a ton of time with them; watching them change and grow. Not only has our summer been full of cuties we went to D.C. for our one year anniversary! It seems like just yesterday we were taking our vows and now we are practically an old married couple! . Here are a few snapshots of my summer!

The little firecracker

Nothing says summer like a couple of kids on the trampoline!

He really enjoys his space rockets with the attached guns

The next few are of our anniversary trip

Flags at the bottom of the Washington Monument.

This is from the National Air and Space museum. They had a scrapbook of many things they found leftover from WWII from the airforce! LOVE the pin up girl photos that gals sent to their men overseas.

We also visited Arlington National Cemetery, it was truly something.

President Obama’s face was on my subway ticket! It’s like we practically met!

I hope you all enjoyed the photos, just thought I’d share a little bit of my joy with all of you! Hope you all are enjoying the summer as well! We have a lot more work to come and don’t forget our Girls Day in the Garden promotion going on now! To get details scroll down a couple of posts!

Today Tabitha and I went up to Lakeside, Ohio today! Lakeside is about the cutest place I’ve ever been! And we had such a wonderful family to photograph, they were full of laughs and hugs~just what we like! Beware this post is huge, we have tons of photos to share! Here are a few of my favorites:

The two who started it all! You can see their love and they have such a wonderfully large family now!

The whole gang!

The original five

The cousins showing some love!

He couldn’t stop kissing his grandbabies! I love it!

These next images are some of Tabitha’s favorite photos from the day…

We really enjoyed our time with this wonderful family and in Lakeside! We hope you like your photos and can’t wait to show you the rest!

As promised, here are some of my photos from vacation in Michigan where my husband and I visited the beautiful Benzie County area, on the North Western side of the "Mitten." We had a really great time, it was very relaxing -with many photo ops for me:)

(You may have already seen some of those photo ops in the "Summertime Fun" blog post)

Our first full day there was July 4th, and just outside our accommodations in Beulah was a parade! We also got to see fireworks right from our patio and we were super close to Crystal Lake and Lake Michigan.

Here are some images that I shot while we were there…

We stayed in this old Court house that has been turned into condos- what a great idea!

 This next flag  was on top of Fire Engine 5, parked along Crystal Lake the night of the fireworks.

 Anyone who has been to Elberta Beach or the Trick Dog Cafe may recognize this sign:)

 And my favorite of the bunch…this was from the Special Olympics float for the parade, it was all decked out for the 4th & along the side of the float was their motto, “Let me win but if I can not win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

What a great trip it was, hope to make it back up again next year. if you ever get to go, make sure to check out East Shore Market (for my FAVORITE pizza ever), and Crystal Crate & Cargo in Beulah, Trick Dog Cafe and the Cabbage Shed in Elberta, and Celia’s (for the BEST cinnamon rolls in the WORLD) and The Betsie Bay Inn in Frankfort. There are tons more places  to check out in the area- and many that we have never been, all the more reason to go back, I guess!

I had an amazing session today at the 577 Foundation.

These two sisters really brightened up my day (and kept me on my toes:) I just don’t think they could’ve been any cuter. Hope these two beauties make your day, like they did mine! Can’t wait to show their Mom and Dad the rest of their photos!

Meet Arianna (big sis’) and Taylor (little sis’)…

Aren’t they beautiful???

And the next two are my favorites from the day…

Hope you all enjoyed!

Thanks girls for being so much fun, I know I had a blast. Looking forward to your upcoming session:)

Anyone who knows me, knows how crazy I am about my pups, Tango and Charlie, (you may have seen them in previous posts:) Well recently my husband and I took a vacation "Up North," to the Benzie County area of Michigan.

We stayed in Beulah on Crystal Lake, but everyday we took our pooches to Elberta Beach on Lake Michigan.  We all had a blast and I thought I’d share some pics of the dogs from our trip.

It took us a while to wear these two out, but we FINALLY did it!

 My 80 lb. lap dog-haha:)

 And my favorite picture from our trip…

Hope you enjoyed the photos-can you believe how big Charlie got?? He’s almost 7 months, so he’s still got some more growing to do too.

Contact me or Bethany if you’d like great pics of your pets too, we’d be thrilled!

I’ll be sharing a few more pics from our trip, Beulah is such a cute town, and I just love that region of Michigan, can’t wait to show you some of the great shots I got up there….so stay tuned!

Tabitha

This tiny one was such a joy to photograph! She is only a month old and she still smiled for me quite a bit! She is about the most laid back baby I’ve ever worked with as well! Mom picked out a couple of super cute outifts and I got to work! You will see how cute she is! Check it out!

Meet little Bella.

I love the froggy legs!

Look at those sweet smiles!

Look at those pretty sisters!

Big sister really does love Bella!

I had such a great day yesterday! I got to photograph two cuties! We have more coming up so keep checking in! As always leave some comments for me!
