Alysha's Senior Portraits



Debbie and I became best friends when we lived in Jackson. Debbie and her family moved to Florida just before I moved to Traverse City. Since then, they moved to Missouri. I hardly get to see them because we live so far apart, but I was still able to photograph their oldest daughter's senior portraits. We met in Jackson, I photographed Alysha all over town and we got great images! They have not seen them yet, so this will be their preview.














I love the images and I love the Flint family!

Who's Who?


This is Laurel.

She was three months old for this session.


Laurel got very sleepy during her session.

This is her brother Gage.

He was three months old for this session.




Gage got very sleepy during his session.

When we looked at both images side by side,
we could not tell who was Laurel and who was Gage.


Laurel is now a beautiful toddler.

Gage is now a chunky four month old.

Gage has Laurel beat in the weight.

He has beautiful chubby arms and legs.




Gage is our miracle baby.

We all prayed for Gage and his mother Jennifer.

Jennifer was six months pregnant for Gage when she went into a coma in Mexico.

God answered our prayers.

Gage is a healthy baby.

Jennifer is healthy.

Praise God for miracles!

Cayden's water adventures

Cayden visited us to go fishing, but he had much more fun playing in the water!
Mitchell Creek is very cold, but that did not seem to bother him.
Cayden is such a fun little boy!

Ashley dances

When I photographed Ashley's senior portrait session a long time ago
(a few months ago seems like a long time ago),
I told her that I had so much fun with these images, that I had to post them.
Finally...I am posting them.

These are just a few of the over 120 images that I took of Ashley.
This was her prom dress. It was so gorgeous!

Once the dress was on, I asked Ashley to dance. She was a natural.
The dress flowed so wonderfully.








The best part of Ashley's session was that I photographed her mother's senior portrait session, then her wedding, years ago. Ashley looks just like her mother and has the same wonderful personality that her mother has, too.

I love photographing second generations! Yes, I am old!

Great job Ashley! I cannot wait for you to see the rest of the images!

Where has August gone?

I just realized that I have not blogged since August 1. I knew that it has been a long time, but wow, I did not know it was that long.

I was going to update you on our adventures, but there have been too many to write about. Some of them have been awesome senior sessions that I will post images next week.

I am heading to Mackinac Island tomorrow morning, to join my friends at a Professional Photographers of Michigan seminar. Until yesterday, Michael was going to join me, but he is preparing to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats next week. The preparations are taking longer than expected. He will be working with a motorcycle team that is racing for the land speed world record. Michael went last year and had such a great time. He is so excited to go again this year. If you have not seen the World's Fastest Indian, you have to rent it. It is a true story about Burt Munro and it is a good one! Anthony Hopkins plays Burt wonderfully. I am sure that Michael will have some great images when he returns.

Michael has also gone full speed into his new company, called Creekside Grains. It all started with a pancake mix and Michael's incredible baking talents. Now he offers over twenty pancake, cookie, brownie, bread and gluten free products. They taste wonderful (I get to be the taste tester for his new recipes)! He has a new web site available at www.creeksidegrains.com. You can also catch him at the local farm markets every weekend. He is at Leland, Elk Rapids, the old State Hospital and Suttons Bay. He loves meeting and visiting with everyone and the customers love the products.

I will update soon! Have a great weekend!

rainbows


A light rain, then a beautiful rainbow!

God does good work!

Patrick is nine months


I got to see Patrick and his parents today! He is such a handsome baby!

His beautiful blue eyes win the ladies hearts! I looked at my earlier blog posts and said the same thing about Patrick's eyes then. They sure are striking!


We blinked and Patrick grew from three months to nine months. The next blink and it will be for his one year portrait. They grow so fast.

See you soon Patrick!
