Fall has quickly arrived and so has the season for family portraits! For this reason we are announcing our annual Holiday Special. This is the perfect opportunity to capture pictures of your children for beautiful wall portraits, holiday cards and unique gifts.

Our Holiday Special is only $199-which includes a 30 minute portrait session with your family, photographed at Cranbrook House and Gardens, and 24 custom designed holiday cards (additional cards are available at a discounted rate).

We are now booking these limited sessions for ONE weekend only starting Friday, October 2nd thru Sunday the 4th. Spots go quickly, so book yours today.

With Baby Rollin arriving in November, I will only be photographing for 4 more weeks!!! Although my fall session is short, I hope to see you and your family during this time!

Cutest Child Model Search

As most of you know, we have currently just moved in to our new studio space and have inquired a lot of new props and backgrounds that we need to try out and photograph like this adorable picture above...so from now until September, we are looking for the cutest kids to come in and model for us!

We are looking for children ages newborn (first two weeks of life) to 8 years old who love the camera! If your child's pictures are selected they will go to update a variety of our community displays, as well as decorating our new studio space and used for future website and marketing purposes including local print competitions!

All models will receive a free session and a $50 credit towards any prints you would like to purchase-just our way of saying thanks!

Models Needed:

Newborns (7-14 days old)

Babies (sitting up)

Toddlers (15mos-3 yrs)

Children (4-8yrs)

Times Available:

Mondays 9:30-4:30pm

Wednesdays 9:30-4:30pm

Fridays 9:30-4:30pm

So if you think you have the cutest child or if you have ever been told that your child should model, please give us a call at the studio or click on the link above and inquire about our model search!

Our Studio!!!

Although we are still in the process of finishing our studio, I thought I would post a couple before and afters pics of our space...Hopefully in the next few weeks we will finally have everything in place-signs on the outside, computers up and running and pictures on the walls:)

Our blank canvas...

Which definately needed some desperate renovations!!!Stills needs pictures on the wall...

Pregnancy pics:)

Thank you to many of my clients that have been calling to find out how my pregnancy is going, and wanting to see pictures! You would think being a photographer that I would be capturing the growth of my own tummy this entire time, but besides an occational belly shoot on my iphone here and there-I have no pictures, lol! So last weekend, when my husband and I were at a wedding I asked someone to snap a couple. Here are a few of me at 23 weeks...but I promise to post better ones soon!

Sneak Peek-Babyhood {Baby and Child Michigan Photographer}

Here is a couple of my favorites from our babyhood session of little Sophia-8mos. We've been ordering several new backgrounds for our new studio and have been waiting to try them out! Although Sophia was in a more serious mood, we captured so many cute looks, enjoy!

Sneak Peek-Pregnancy & Newborn {Michigan Baby and Child Photographer}

Here is a sneak peek of two sessions that I shoot in my new studio! Our pregnancy session was just beautiful and our newborn was so cute and so awake:) Here are some of my favorites, Enjoy!

Little Ethan, 18 days old

I'm Having a Boy!!!

Sorry to all my faithful bloggers, I have neglected to post for the last several months but have some wonderful and exciting news to share with you all. First of all, my husband and I found out we are expecting our first child back in late March-and are pleased to announce that baby is a boy! My husband and I are just thrilled, and I am so excited to start photographing my very own baby. Here is a picture from his first photo shoot (many more to come!) Age: 20 weeks. I have also been moving into our new studio (which I will post pics very soon) and with all the planning and preparing for both a new studio and a new baby-well, things have been a little crazy around here. However, I am now starting to take sessions again, and will post a couple sneak peeks in a bit.

Sneak Peek-Mommyhood {Michigan Baby and Child Photography}

Here is a new sneak peak of some recent newborn and pregnancy sessions I was blessed with photographing. We got some beautiful pictures from all sessions, and as always, had some funny events take place with our little newborn (poor mom got most of the damage, lol). Enjoy!

Little Ethan, 3 weeks...

Janie and Jack Photography Event {Michigan Baby and Child Photographer}

A fellow photographer and friend of mine, Madison Christoper, took some snap shots of me photographing for our Janie and Jack photography event back in March. I photographed for one day, and our assistant photographer, Meghan, photographed and finished the event while I was traveling to Israel. We had a wonderful time, and look forward to our new event at Pottery Barn Kids at the Sommerset Mall, which Megan will also be photographing. Sign up in the store if you are looking for a free mini session and 8x10 with purchase!

Photography Conference in Bay Harbor {Mighigan Baby and Child Photographer}

I just got back from a 3 day women's photography conference in Bay Harbor, Michigan. Megan, my assistant, and I had a wonderful time learning from amazing women photographers and enjoyed seeing some of our friends from around the Michigan area! Meghan and I
