We just got back from an amazing trip to St. Thomas, and where to begin? 

I guess I'll start with an image from Kate and Earl's BEautiful wedding, more to come!

OK, Here it is~ Kristin and John's E Session!!! I had such a great time with them playing in this space~ it was really hard for me to put my camera down! Thanks you two for making my job so easy :D

Had 2 great E sessions this weekend... and today's weather couldn't have been finer!! Here's a little sneak from this morning... 

Kristen & John were so much fun, and both had a lot of energy and ideas!! Such a fun couple and can't wait for their summer wedding!! Off to a little more sunshine, will post more soon :-))

These are a few images from a recent session with Baby Rachel~ She is so full of personality and light! It was so sweet to witness her cooing to Mommy :D

John and I are finally getting around to making our wedding album... on the heels of our 9th anniversary, lol Speaking of anniversary, this year is especially cool in a numerology sense: 9.9.09 is our 9th :D 

One of the main reasons we haven't gotten around to an album yet is that we got married just as the film< digital debate was still underway. We didn't quite trust the quality of digital to record our precious memories. Before we knew it, we were moving to MI, buying a house and having a baby! By the time we caught our breath all the neg scanners we had access to were gone. (As a newspaper photographer, you get cheap/lazy about paying someone for something you can do yourself- on your lunch break or days off- of course!) 

So here we are, 9 years later with a box full of negs. And I am now a wedding photographer. I am determined to make our album this year- please hold my feet to the fire!! XO

Agency Pix

Jackson's pix are up on the agency's website!! I don't entirely agree with their edit but it is exciting to see him online for sure!! Here are a few not posted here that didn't make the cut:

I walked to pick Jackson up from school the other day and part way there wished I had my camera... I was walking under this amazing tree and behind it the sun was just starting to break through this layer of sheet-y clouds. It was beautiful and eerie at the same time, but if I ran back for the camera I would have been late. I pressed on hoping it would remain until I could return.

 

By the time Jackson and I passed back through, the clouds had drifted off, and the sky was a clear blue... We both grabbed our cameras, and did a little spring photo session. It is so cool to see Jax taking an interest in photography, and he is so cute in his photographer's stance(s). What an amazing kid :-)
