This little doll was only 4 days old when her mom brought her in for her newborn session. And her mom Kathleen happens to be a very talented Creative Memories consultant. Kathleen created the two page prints below for Emmersyn's 1st year scrapbook. If you need any scrapbooking assistance or supplies, Kathleen is an excellent resource -- whether you prefer digital albums or old school cut and paste.
Can you believe this beautiful young lady is only 11?! We had such a fun afternoon, soaking up some of the welcome sun on a warm spring day. Yes, I said "Spring!" I'm so glad it's finally here! I'll share more from this shoot later (I have two other shoots to process before finishing Ella's). Just couldn't resist posting at least one.
My kids and I love exploring the Bickelhaupt Arboretum. We make it at least a seasonal excursion, partly b/c the Arb hosts a seasonal photo contest. :0) Recently, they've added a category that I'm particularly fond of -- "Kids at the Arb." Check out the Arb website to see all 4 categories and the rules for entering (photos must be taken AT the Arb). Spring is the next contest, and it's the perfect time to get outside and see what's blooming! Enjoy some fresh air after a long, cold winter!
In addition to the rules and other contest info, you can see some of the winning photos from past contests. Enjoy!
I love finding new props! And apparenly so does my little M. He found my most recently acquired (and freshly laundered!) props, and just had to take them for a spin. I love my little guy! <3
Here are a few more images from the Stormin' Norman mini-sessions. These good-looking seniors are actually cousins, born only 4 months apart. How awesome it must have been to grow up in the same town with a cousin so close in age! Beth and I had a great time running around Eagle Point Park with these fun guys. Good luck, J & B! Hope you enjoy the rest of your senior year!
These 2 little cuties used to live in our town -- best buds with my little guys before they moved away. Their mom contacted me about a photo session when they knew they would be visiting grandparents nearby. I'm so glad we were able to get together. We have really missed hanging out with this family.
I recently had the pleasure of helping out with a project called "Stormin' Norman Portraits." A friend from the Muddy River Camera Club, Beth Wiersema, has organized this fundraiser for the past 2 years to raise money for Relay for Life.
Beth is a member of the Stormin’ Norman American Cancer Society Relay for Life team of Clinton County and sprearheaded the portrait sessions because she wanted to help her relative, neighbor, and friend, Norm Criss, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer almost 8 years ago. This year, Stormin' Norman Portraits raised over $2,000!
Beth and I had a great time shooting senior portraits for this beautiful and very sweet young lady. Here are a few of my favorite shots....
Oh my! Beautiful people, beautiful day (well, the diffused light was beautiful through the photographer's eyes!). It's amazing how little the cold and drizzle bother me when I'm capturing moments like this. :o)
Sweet A & J were not only 2 of the most adorable children imaginable, but they were also so easy to work with. You can tell this family is very loving -- I couldn't resist including a few pics here that show Mom & Dad interacting with the kids.
We had a lot of fun riding from location to location in the golf carts. If only I had a golf cart at all of my shoots -- what a great way to lug all of my gear and props around!
What a crazy month it's been! We've had visits from both sets of grandparents, an out of town wedding weekend, and lots of shoots! In the coming days, I will blog some of my other shoots, including some fun senior sessions with my fellow photog friend Beth.
In the meantime, check out these gorgeous girls! We met out at the beautiful Bickelhaupt Arboretum on one of the few dry and sunny days we've had of late. Still a bit chilly, though. :)
