Happy Extra Day of the Year from Loretta

I was so excited to see that there was an extra day this year. It will help me to catch up!

Michael is on his way to Muskegon to have dinner with Miss America! The Miss Michigan directors have planned a wonderful Homecoming for Kirsten Haglund. I know that everyone will have a great time!
Just a reminder that our children's Spring Special will be next Friday and Saturday. We will be bringing in the bunnies again. We look forward to seeing the children! If you are interested in joining us for the Spring Special, call now! The times are filling fast!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Cameron!

Cameron turns one today! He was supposed to have his one year portrait taken yesterday, but the winter bug caught him. We will wait until he feels better again before we photograph him!

I love his nine month portraits so much that I decided to show them one more time before his "official" one year portrait is taken.

Have a great birthday! Hope you feel better soon!


When we put this on the blog, the weather outside was frightful. Three months later, it is still frightful! Good thing I love winter.

Miss Heart of Michigan

Rebecca looks beautiful with her winning smile! Notice the gorgeous necklace that was donated by Krissie's Created Gems and Fine Accessories.

No, Rebecca did not win the motorcycle. Classic Motor Sports brought two Harleys for the display. The opening number was music to Wild Hogs, so the Harley Davidsons were a great prop.

It was great spending time with Ashlee Baracy for the past few days. Ashlee won the hearts of the Traverse City radio announcers and everyone else she came in contact with. We wish her the best as she competes for Miss Michigan.

Rebecca Wins!

Congratulations to the new Miss Heart of Michigan! Miss Rebecca Ransom won the title, along with a $500 scholarship, candy, flowers, a diamond necklace, sterling silver tray, the Miss America crown and the Miss Heart of Michigan sash.

The ladies were all wonderful to work with. We had a great turnout and everyone had a good time.

We look forward to working with Rebecca this year!

Hearts and Love on Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! Hope it is full of romance, love, flowers and chocolate!

Miss Heart of Michigan Scholarship Pageant is in two days! Our current Miss Heart, Ashlee Baracy, has spent the morning wowing the radio listeners of Traverse City. Her beauty and poise have stunned the announcers.

Ashlee has a busy schedule for the next few days. Today's events will include lunch at Poppycocks, another interview this afternoon and a visit with Rotary this evening.

Tomorrow will be a full day of rehearsals, dinner with the contestants at Don's Drive In, then back to the Park Place Dome for final dress rehearsal.

We are so excited to bring Miss Heart to Traverse City! We hope you can join us for the pageant. Tickets are $15 in advance (just call the studio - 947-6655) and $20 at the door. Doors open to the Dome at 6:00 PM. The pageant begins at 7:00 PM.

Hope to see you there!

Happy Valentine Birthday Anna Marie

Miss Anna Marie is having a very special day tomorrow. She will celebrate her 17th birthday on Valentines Day!

Happy Birthday Anna Marie! Have a wonderful day!

And Baby Makes Three

We welcome three month old Patrick to our Kid's Club! Patrick's parents helped us to create the Professional Photographers of Michigan Best of Show Wedding Album in 2004! Their wedding day was perfect, David and Natalie were gorgeous and we all had the best time! David and Natalie still hold our record for the highest scoring wedding album.

Patrick has beautiful eyes and great expressions. We loved the way he talked to us. He had very interesting stories to tell.

We are so excited to know that we will be seeing the Goran family every three months this year, then at least once a year for the next twenty years. Beautiful wedding couple, beautiful baby, beautiful family! God does good work!
