First Birthday Cake Smash | Jackson, Michigan Child Photographer

I don't typically do cake smash sessions... not because I'm against them, but I just haven't thought about offering them.   My daughter just turned one (where does time go??) and we decided to do a quick little cake smash with her.  It was so cute to see her try to eat her little cake.   This will definitely be an option for clients doing 1-year sessions from now on.  SO FUN!

My sunshine.... on a cloudy day

I know, I know... it's the middle of winter here in Michigan and I"m going to post some bathing suit shots.   I call it photo-therapy :)   Something to look forward to.... sunshine, warm days, bathing suits and the beach!  

I think I spent twice as much time clearing out my "studio area" as I did taking these shots, but it was well worth it.  My special song for her is "You are my sunshine, My only sunshine" and she sure is.  How can you not smile when you see that two-toothed grin?

Time sure flies, doesn't it?   I can't believe my sweet little bitty baby is already 6 months old.  We did a little mini session today--  she just slays me with those brown eyes.  

Oskar | Jackson MI Family Photographer

I met up with this sweet little family this weekend to capture a few family photos as well as some of Mr. Oskar himself.   Oskar's mom is the sister/sister-in-law of some very good friends of ours, and I was floored at how much Oskar looks like our friends' oldest son (Oskar's cousin).  And those baby blues!!   Isn't he so precious?

Aviva: 1 year old | Ann Arbor, Michigan Child Photographer

I always enjoy photographing Miss Aviva and her parents.  She is the most darling little thing ever and the interaction between the three of them is perfection.  If you missed seeing Aviva as a newborn and at 6 months old, click the links and check her out.  She's gorgeous from day 1!

Three Princesses | Jackson Child Photographer

This beautiful family and I have sort of a running tradition.... no session is complete without a re-do.  Miss Grace's newborn session... it was a bust the first time so I had to revisit them.  Her 6 month and 1 year were okay... but when she was 2 we attempted another session but were rained out.  And the Twinny Twins newborn session?  Had to have a second shot at that session as well.  Their 6 month went great (love 6 month olds!) but this year... well, we had to have two shots at their 1-year session and Grace's 4-year session.  It's a good thing I love this family so much!   And really, how could I tire of taking pictures of such a beautiful family?

Brady @ 7 months │ Jackson Michigan Child Photographer

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing this little guy's birth.... he's already 7 months old and such a ray of sunshine to both his family (who absolutely adores him... how could you not??) and to everyone he meets.  He smiles at EVERYTHING and is such a little charmer.
