sneak preview for baby b

I've known B's mom since high school, and I had the pleasure of photographing his parent's wedding. It was one of the last weddings I shot in film! A lot has changed since then, my business, my style, but mostly the happy addition of baby B and his big brother !

Double the joy!

B and G are incredible little guys . I LOVE photographing twins, and these two melted my heart from the beginning. Enjoy!

my amazingly brave niece

As many of you know , this week my family was thrown a curveball with my niece's sudden diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. We've never had diabetes in the family, so we are all learning new things this week. My nieces and nephew are an integral part of my life, and I have enjoyed moving back to Michigan and having the chance see them every day, and watch them grow up.

Sara, faced the diagnosis with courage and bravery , unlike anything I could have done. I am so proud of her, I can't even find the words to accurately describe the grace of this brave 11year old. I snapped a few pics when she was in the hospital, reading a book about Rufus, the diabetic bear. She also saw his medical bracelet, and is anxious to personalize her own. Her outlook , and maturity beyond her years is an inspiration .

As a family we realize how grateful we are that it is a treatable disease, many at Mott's Hospital were not so fortunate. If nothing else, take this blog post has a little reminder to keep others in your prayers, and be grateful for all that you 've been given. I'd like to thank all of the wonderful people who have offered tips, advice, suggestions, meal plans... we are a truly blessed family. Thank you all so much!

And Sara, Ryan and Megan... I am very proud to be your aunt. :) Love you.

Here is the link to the photos... all 500 of them!

It was wonderful to meet all of you and an honor to photograph this event.

Starting off in the NICU. Amazing little ones.

I'll admit, I have a big weakness for little ones who begin in the Intensive Care Unit. 31 years ago, I was there , all 3lbs of me.

So when I got the call to photograph these two, I was honored to get the chance to document their small beginnings. These twins, B and G, have incredible parents who are no strangers to hospital stays . John, a Marine, was severely injured in Iraq, and his wife , Lisa have a love story that began when they met in the first day of the Police Academy . They've been through the wringer already, and now have two little boys who are lucky to have such dynamic parents.
Below is a link to a story on John and Lisa from the Ann Arbor News.

But now... the big introduction of these tiny little guys...
we were limited by all the cords and monitors , but just watching John and Lisa maneuver them , they seemed like old pros. We were able to put them together in a crib and the two boys nuzzled into one another . It was almost as if you could see them snuggle into one another as if to say, "Hey, I remember you! "
There are days when I don't think my heart can hold all the love and amazement I feel when I see newborns, and that morning in the NICU... the love in the room from everyone was palpable. Their tiny hands and feet are no measure for the big , wonderful life that awaits these two. Thank you John and Lisa , for your service to this country, your commitment to each other, letting me document the love between you and your sons. It was truly an honor. I can't wait to photograph them again next week at home! :)
