Barlage Family

I had so much fun photographing Cam for his first birthday.  He was all smiles and all little boy- moving from place to place at about a mile a minute.  His momma and I were teammates and good friends throughout high school, so when I received an e-mail from her asking to me to photograph her little guy's first birthday I could not have been more excited.  It was so sweet to see her growing little family and what a great mom she has become.  After his outdoor pictures Cam was treated to a cake to kick off his birthday celebration.  He loved it and was certainly not afraid of getting messy! It was straight into the tub after devouring all the frosting.  Thanks for letting me capture this fun stage of life with you, Barlage Family! 

Connor's Senior Pictures

The seniors I have had the pleasure of working with this year have seriously been the greatest.  I met Connor and his family at Milford Central Park to snap some photographs to commemorate his upcoming graduation. I had met Connor years ago when I photographed his family, but I certainly did not recognize this senior, all grown up Connor. 

My favorite part of the shoot had to be watching Connor in his natural element when he brought out his drum.  He is seriously talented, you guys.  He had a few ideas in mind for photographs and then he just played and totally forgot I was there- it was awesome. Congratulations, Connor and best of luck wherever the future takes you! 

Baligian Family

I am going to just take a moment to welcome myself back to the blog! Hey, everyone! I have been so busy editing photo shoots and trying to get them back to families in a timely manner that I have been completely ignoring this little space. So I am back and I am going to try and share lots of the amazing photo shoots from the past few months. First up . . . the Baligian family!

The Baligian family is ridiculously sweet and caring and I couldn't be more grateful that I was able to capture a few images of them together.   We met at Booth Park in Birmingham and were able to snap a few photographs of their active little ones while exploring the park. And can we talk about the green trees and short sleeves- already missing that! 

Mazzorana Family

Not only do I love getting a chance to hang out with the Mazzorana Family, but they always pick the best locations for their annual summer photo shoots.  This year they suggested Blossom Heath in St. Clair Shores and it was gorgeous.   If the location has a willow tree just sign me up! We met late in the evening when the sun was just about to set and explored the park with their two adventurous boys. Thanks for an evening of laughs and catching up, Mazzorana Family!   

Baby Cooper + Family

This post is a little behind because Cooper's 3 month shoot is scheduled for next week! I mean seriously, where does the time go? Cooper spent most of his photoshoot in a deep slumber.  He woke up just at the end to show off those big blue eyes.  FYI- Cooper is actually my nephew so I am slightly biased to the adorableness of these pictures.  But as an aunt that is my prerogative, right?  So enjoy the cuteness of newborn baby Cooper and and his proud big brother Parker.  More to come of this family soon! 

Fox Family

I have been getting together with the Fox family for years for their annual summer shoot.  We always have the same question when we schedule their appointment- is there anywhere new where we can do the pictures.  Well we found a gem this year! We photographed at Greenmead in Livonia and I am swooning! The park was the perfect backdrop for these sweet family pictures.  Thank you for making me feel like a little part of your family every year, Fox family.  Already looking forward to seeing how much everyone has grown at our next shoot!
