Lyla Grace │ Jackson, Michigan Birth Photographer

Birth sessions are quickly turning into my favorite type of documentary work. I feel so privileged that these families are entrusting me with this once in a lifetime event. That they are opening up their lives to allow me into this intimate moment... to capture such a momentous time in their life... to show them the miracles I see unfold through my lens.

I am always in awe when I go through my images and see the facial expressions, the looks of wonder, the sparkle of a tear in the corner of someone's eye... the things you don't see while you are experiencing this event, but when you see it captured it opens a floodgate of emotion and memory for you. At least, I hope it does.

Enough rambling... you get that I'm quite passionate about these sessions! I know a certain mommy who is anxiously awaiting a sneek peek from little Lyla's birth....

The Phillips Family │ Grosse Pointe Family Photographer

This was my third year traveling to see the Phillips Family. I have watched Miss Leanna grow up from 4 months old to a spunky 2.5 year old... and now she is a big brother to 4 month old Andrew!

I just adore watching my clients' kids grow up and watching their families grow and change. Its a wonderful experience.








Here are their last two sessions:
2008
2007, and another 2007

Anderson │ Jackson Michigan Newborn Photographer

Anderson's mommy and I go way back... oh nearly 20 years (am I really THAT old?!). We met in 4th grade and were inseparable throughout school. We were even nicknamed Chip and Dale (you know... the chipmunks ;) ) by one of our teachers.

Its amazing to think about the life changes our friendship has gone through... from rascally 8 year olds to awkward middle schoolers to mischievous high schoolers and dramatic college students.... to graduating college, moving, marriage, careers... and now parenthood.

Mind boggling.



Little Mr. Anderson... "Bean"... was quite the stinker during his session. He was as content as could be.... AWAKE. Now, I like my newborns sleepy. Sleepy and curly. He wanted nothing of it and defied odds and stayed awake nearly 5 hours!

I had a handful of ideas I wanted to try with him but unfortunately wasn't able to pull through. I did capture this one awesome picture, though. I love this hat (and this baby!)

Max and Sarah (2) │ Ann Arbor Child Photographer

Here are a few more sneaks peeks for Charlotte..... your full gallery will be ready soon!

Reese │ Jackson Michigan Child Photographer

Max and Sarah │ Ann Arbor Child Photographer

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph Max and Sarah again.... they were my first set of twins and I think it is such a blessing (and so fun!) to see clients grow up. I photographed these little ones in the belly, as newborns and now as feisty one year olds!



I have more to share but am fighting with an incredibly slow computer....
