Seniors - Travis and Matt

Friday , I had the pleasure of meeting two senior guys for photo shoots, one in the morning and one in evening. First up, Travis. I made Travis climb some rocks, scale small hills, and sit in flower beds... but that is nothing, Travis hopes to become a Navy Seal one day, so my little photo shoot was no match for him. Thank you Travis and Matt for making my "senior friday" so fun. Best of luck to you both as you graduate here in a few weeks!









Matt, his sister and mom trounced around town on Friday. I had his sister, Emily , who is also on my tennis team provide the entertainment to get to him smiling. She also was a gopher girl, grabbing lenses and whatever I needed.

We beat the ominous looking weather and got some great shots, here is a sneak peak. Congratulations, Matt!

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.
