Beautiful Brooklynn & Tanner :)....(Mishawaka, IN Newborn Photographer)

Brooklynn was a little bright-eyed when she
came for pics. I think she and her brother, Tanner,
we're really excited to have them taken :)
Both of them were fun to work with and Mom
is just over the moon to have her little guy & girl.

Lindsey & Eric, congrats to you both!
Next up, we need a family pic of you! :)

Having sweet dreams.....

Little Miss Zarrah :) (Niles, MI Newborn Photographer)

Little Miss Zarrah came by for a visit! She was
a MONTH old when we had our session...but she did
surprise everyone by coming a month earlier than scheduled.
*
Mom & Dad read my "preparation instructions" and did everything
to a *T,* which is how we ended up with this.....



And then she did this...... ugh.....such a sweetie...



I LOVE those cheeks with this purple bonnet!


I'm imagining that this is how she was curled up
in her Mama's belly...minus the headband :)

Brein & Tom, thanks so much for letting me take part in this
special moment in your lives. Watching you coo over Zarrah
was the cutest thing to see. She is just precious :)

Busy!

I can't believe the third week of June is here.... Time has flown already and I
have so much more I want to do with my kids, my family, my business..my health.

There has been a lot going on so far for us. Our kids are changing schools.... from
one that we adore, to one that we pray will be a great opportunity for them.
The school they will be attending is one that I did in during my elementary years.
The school is being revamped, as it's last updates may have been when I was there...
a few years ago. The projects are completely volunteer-based, so we have done a
some of that so far and are looking forward to seeing what our community can do!

We've also been on the home stretch of baseball and dance recital's....We had 7 games
this week...two concession duties, three Meals on Wheels deliveries and I kept my
God-daughters here with me for the week. Yeah, it's been a little busy :)

Today, in my free-time, I spent my morning with Little Miss Emily....
A true slice of heaven. One of the most precious aspects of my *job*
are not only holding the babies...but seeing Mom & Dad get so excited
during the session.... Laura & Brent were so sweet to watch. Emily is
there second little girl & they couldn't be happier.




This gorgeous pic includes a scarf from Niles Styles,
located downtown Niles, MI.

Adison + Acoustic

Our son, Adison, had a guitar recital last weekend.
He started taking lessons a year ago and I am amazed
at his age(just turned 8) that he can read the music
and play on both electric and acoustic. So very proud
of him! Btw, his hair is often a subject of conversation
with adults.....they like to tell him that he needs it cut,
which makes him want to grow it all that much longer....
a little rebellious, like his mother :) I like him to keep it
*tamed,* but the length doesn't bother me...besides Jesus
had long hair!! :)


Nature's beauty....

We've had a few visitors over the past week...
My daughter, Kendall(5), said, "Mommy!!
He is so cute! He has a mohawk like Caiden's,
only it's made out of cranberries!" Totally
made my day! Also made it hard to get this shot
with my macro lens... I was laughing so hard I
could barely stand still :)


I bought a macro lens a few months ago and have
been dying to get out and USE it! I finally made
some time in the wee hours of the morning....
I never realized how much detail was in the middle
of a gerber daisy! Looks like a party in there!



Not sure why, but this pic makes me think of reproduction...
I know, very strange, I can't explain it. :) Thought it
was neat that there is a spider web across it though.
Maybe that's it....the web, waiting to "catch" something?
Hahaha, it's late, I'm delirious.....I'm sure I spelled that wrong too :)


Snow-covered antlers?


My son, Adison, finds everything with hearts....and he
always says, "I heart you Mom." Now, I see them
everywhere too and I always think of him...such a sweetie.



This one below reminds me of my hubby...he's indian :)





Can you see the water droplets?

Miss Michigan Galaxy - Zarah Mumaw!!

Zarah is the current Miss Michigan Galaxy
& is absolutely stunning!!! Despite her
beauty, her sweet disposition is her
most striking quality.

I spent part of my Mother's Day afternoon
with her & her Mama.....what a special
bonding time for them. Mom got teary-eyed
almost every time I showed her what I had
captured..... such a sweet relationship they
share with one another.

Zarah & Tracy, thanks so much for trusting
me with your photos....I had a wonderful
time with you girlies!!
