Snowflakes and Purple Balloons | Jackson Michigan Child and Family Photographer

Super quick session with this awesome family tonight.  Little George has curls to die for, and was such a trooper in the cold.  He didn't last long, but it was long enough to get some great images.  I was excited when Kate told me they were wearing pops of purple, so I stopped by the Ballooney Bin and picked up a bunch of purple balloons.   George lost interest after the wind blew them into him one too many times, but they were perfect while they lasted!

Winter Mini Session | Jackson, MI Family Photographer

I woke this morning to gorgeous, huge snowflakes falling from the sky.   Immediately I knew it would be gorgeous for a winter mini session.   I was so excited when the Dobbens contacted me for a last minute winter mini session.   It was COLD this afternoon... 19*!  I, stupidly, underdressed and froze my katoosh off.   It was worth it, though!  Just look at this gorgeous family!   It is hard to believe that their oldest boy was in my 2nd grade class when I student taught 7 years ago!  Talk about feeling OLD!    Thank you, Dobben Family, for toughing the cold with me and letting me capture your beautiful family!

Winter Beauties | Jackson, Michigan Family Photographer

I literally JUST got my kids in bed and had to sit down to edit a sneak peek from this session.   I was SO excited when Mandy was up for a winter session and even more excited when I met them and they are literally the cutest little family!  Their little girlies... SO sweet.  Miss Charlotte just talked my ear off- love it!!

Because a sweet mama picture is near and dear to my heart, this (err... these ones) stood out to me first. As a mama myself, I am not often in pictures with my kiddos as I'm usually behind the lens.
