Cute Family :)

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

It’s true, this is a cute family! I met them at Curtiss Park in Saline, Michigan. They’ve got two boys and one more on the way (he is actually due to make an appearance in one week!). I was happy to take photos for them and meet their youngest (as of now) Keegan. Not to mention the last time I saw little Hunter he was a baby! Here are my faves (I took many many photos):

Grace & Ellie

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I just LOVE these two little sisters; they are as different as night and day but both are sweet as pie:) Grace is 4. She is quiet, reserved and a little more serious (until she gets to know you and then she totally lights up.) She has huge gorgeous blue eyes and I had some wonderful conversations with her. 6 year old Ellie on the other hand is not shy at all; she is the life of the party and is very dramatic. Ellie has the cutest freckles and is an absolute blast to be around!

Without further ado here they are…

Therapy Dogs

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I headed back out to Assistance Dogs of America Inc. in Swanton on Tuesday to get a few photos of some of the therapy dogs going through training with their new owners.

ADAI therapy dogs, although they are not service dogs, are highly trained and offer comfort and companionship to children in schools, persons in nursing homes and individuals with developmental disabilities, autism and Down’s Syndrome.

I recognized Brewster, Dwight, and Aaron from my trip out to ADAI before and was happy to see them responding so well to commands given by their new owners.

Here are some photos from the day…

This is Aaron, he was in training for the week with his new "parents" who are so excited to have him join their family. Here he is doing his ‘stay’ command, no problem for him; he’s one very laid back dog!

Next up is Brewster, that beautiful White-Golden Retriever.

His new "Mom" teaches kids who have Autism, she knows they will just adore him and so does she:)

I had Brewster pose for me next to a new motorized wheel chair that was donated to ADAI.

Next is Dwight, he kinda reminds me of a Muppet, he’s just too cute!

Dwight is going to live with a school Principal and he will go with her every day to be a school therapy dog.

I bet the students are SO excited to meet him!

The trainer used Yogi to demonstrate the commands that the new owners need to know; here he is anxiously awaiting her next move…

On my way out, I spotted that sweet little Wixey, I couldn’t resist those big brown eyes so I had to throw a ball for her for a little while.

I’ll keep you posted on my future trips to ADAI, I know I’m looking forward to going again:)

You’re My Best Friend

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Thursday I got to spend some time with my niece Em and her best friend M to do photos, which we’ve been trying to organize since last summer! Em & M are like 2 peas in a pod: always talking a mile a minute and giggling a lot because everything is funny with your BFF. These two are smart, talented, funny, very sweet and beautiful (and WAY less awkward than I was at 14!)

Here are some of my favorites from our session…

Look Who Just Turned 3!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Check out sweet little Kierstyn, she just turned 3 and is SO much fun!

I did her 2 year photo session last year about the same time and we had about the same weather: hot, sticky and on the verge of rain. Kier didn’t seem to notice. She just kept having a great time and wanted to check out every nook and cranny at Sidecut. We ran, jumped, climbed, went up and down many steps and she even did the Moonwalk for me (she loves Michael Jackson.)

Here she is…

Nani Aida visita America!

Monday, July 12th, 2010

I’m sure you all remember sweet Joseph and his new baby brother Caleb, well their grandma (Maggy’s mom) lives allllll the way in Peru. She finally got a travel visa and was able to be up here for Caleb’s birth! She is such a sweet and amazing person! I have enjoyed getting to know her and she loves her daughter and grandbabies so much! Maggy asked me to come out and take photos of her mom and her boys! It was a fun session and little Joseph is bilingual already so it’s so cute when he tells me something in english and repeats it in spanish!
