my family session

Posted on August 26, 2009

Yes, I finally got on the other side of the lens!  A few weeks ago a dear friend of mine was in town from South Carolina and she did our family session.  The last time we had family pictures taken, my oldest daughter wasn’t even 1.  Shame on me!  I finally got over my hang ups and took my own advice.  I realized that the most important thing was not how I looked in the pictures but that my kids, someday hopefully grandkids and so on, had pictures of me to look at.  Well April has a magic lens because she made me look good!  We totally enjoyed our session.  We giggled, the kids loved her and like most families, we even had a moment of craziness where I found myself yelling at my kids  And now I’ve been given a sneak peek and I can tell you if I were to get no more pictures from April than the ones on her blog, I would still be in heaven.  April, you have no idea the gift you have given me, it is truly a blessing to be on this side of the lens, thank you just doesn’t seem like enough.  Ok, I’ve gone on long enough, go on over to April’s blog and check them out for yourself!

sun kissed {Fraser, Michigan Senior Photographer}

So weeks ago I had this dream about a wheat field with the golden glow of sunset.   Well toward the end of my session with Dani, I spy a golden field of, well not wheat but close enough, and  I knew it would be an amazing spot to photograph her.  This little field is up on a hill over looking a park and while I was clicking away we apparently drew a crowd. They thought Dani was a “real” model.  We heard a couple of cat calls that we ignored and later found out they were actually coming from a 3 year old boy, he kept yelling “yeah baby!”  Boy they start young!  And Dani, you most certainly are a “real” model ~ you rocked it and I had a great time.  Enjoy!  Krista

Hannah {Michigan pet photographer?}

I can hear you, “pets Krista, you photograph pets?”  Well my session with Miss Hannah was my first with man’s best friend.  In this case, Hannah is woman’s best friend  And I really enjoyed it.   Hannah’s session was much like a 2 year olds.  First she had to sniff my entire house, then she didn’t want to stay where she was supposed to, when I tried to get her to look at the camera , she came running towards me and she was given treats the entire session in an attempt to get her to do what we wanted.  Yep, typical session with a 2 year old.  Hannah rewarded me with full on face lickin’ and I didn’t even mind.  

Anchor Bay Class of 2010 {Michigan senior photographer}

I know, I’ve been a bad blogger and I’m going to be better.  I have so much to share!  I’ll start off with this good lookin’ senior from Anchor Bay High School.  I swear he could be a model!  It is not the first time I’ve photographed him but it’s the first time he seemed “grown up” to me.  Denial I think.  He has a little brother (I’ll share some images of him soon) that looks up to him so much it totally warms my heart.  I think he’s a great roll model for his little brother.  Good luck J with your senior year, I’m sure you’ll have a blast!  I won’t mention anything about bikini’s here

 Hi Jackie!!

that face {Michigan Child Photographer}

I’m thinking daddy is going to have a real hard time telling this face no  She left with my life savings and a promise to buy her a new car when she turns 16 ~ anything you want sweet girl, anything you want.  Loved hanging out with you Miss S, bring your mommy by again sometime <3

the baby that wouldn’t sleep {Michigan newborn photographer}

Posted on August 2, 2009

Yep, she was a tricky one.  My first newborn that wouldn’t sleep.  Scratch that, her sister wouldn’t sleep when I did her newborn session 2 years ago!  Well at least when she was awake, she was just chill.  For some reason she makes me think of pink cotton candy.  Maybe because I love sugary cotton candy almost as much as I love sugary newborns  Miss Cotton Candy did eventually fall asleep, pretty much as we were finishing up her session.  I think she probably slept good for the next 2 days!
