Esther Marie - 7 weeks old

This is my beautiful niece Esther Marie!  She is such a cute peanut!  At 7 weeks, she has brought so much joy in not only her mom and dad's life but also mine!  We had a great evening taking photos and while at times I'm pretty sure she hated me, she definitely loved the camera!  I hope you enjoy theres photos as much as I do!

Senior - Katlin

This is Katlin! Katlin just happens to be my cousin!  I've watched her grow up into a beautiful young lady and her being a senior makes me feel old :(  I was so excited when my aunt talked to me about doing her photos and after a 2 hour drive I enjoyed a very nice evening with my family :)  We even found out our dogs were blood relatives!!!!  I hope you enjoy Katlin's photos and much as I enjoyed taking her photos!!!  (please see facebook for all of katlin's photos from now until November 2013)

Jax: 9-month photos

Meet Jax - a 9-month, rock eating dancing machine!  He was such a joy to take photos of and I very much look forward to taking more in the future!  We met downtown Kalamazoo and spent a very warm morning taking photos while he ate rocks, threw his hat, and danced to the music coming from my phone.  He was a blast!  Enjoy this little man!  In 3 months we'll have his 1 year photos!!!!!
