Daisy's Christmas

She's been described many different ways....outgoing, fearless, a firecracker, a pistol, and a princess. Yep...that about says it all! She's one of a kind, my Daisy!

My Amelia's first Christmas

I'm sure you're all sick of me talking about my babies by now, but they're my life! And my littlest one is about to experience her first Christmas and I just had to plop her in front of my backdrop to document it. She definitely loved the candy cane!! Little Miss Amelia called me mama this week for the first time, so I'm especially smitten with my babies at the moment :)

Uptown girl...

Kelsey and my little camera had a playdate in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago, and here's what the lens caught :)

Had lots of fun Kelsey, I hope your mama ended up getting you the chocolate we were bribing you with all afternoon!

Mia

Mia's parents are near and dear to my heart- As time flies by me everyday, I struggle to keep up my relationships with the people I care about, and it bothers me to no end...so here's my way of making up for the lost time! Faith and Mark, you're raising one amazing little girl! Tell her I'm signing thank you to her for being such a good sport!

Papa Don and his future Mrs...

If you know me, you know Sarah- She's a sort of permanent fixture in my life, lol- My "college" friend, my pregnancy partner (I HAVE A HUSBAND, WE WERE PREGNANT AT THE SAME TIME), my 11pm phone call during the birth of Amelia, my cheerleading co-coach, my shopping til we literally drop partner (we once shopped for 9 hours straight), my phone tag amigo, the mother of my second child (aka the middle child) and the reason my car has MANY MANY more miles on it than it should. Oh, and also the reason my credit card has MANY MANY more miles on it that it should too, LOL- It's really not that funny, but ANYWAY....

I had the opportunity to do a short and sweet engagement shoot for her father whom my girls and I lovingly call Papa Don (I'm not really sure if he knows this or not, but he does now, HA!) on Saturday. He and Maria are taking the plunge June of next year, and I will be shooting their wedding as well! It's going to be a good ol' Italian wedding, and I'm very excited to be a small part in their day! These two spring chickens are very much in love, I could see it through my lens, clear as day! I just wish the sky would have been as clear!

Here are a few of my favorites from Saturday...Maria, you're going to be a beautiful bride!


























Looking forward to June and everything inbetween!

Lisa and Hayden

This munchkin might look a little familiar to you from a shoot I did about 2 months ago- Hayden had just turned a year old during that shoot and in no time at all she has already changed! I should know how fast kids grow up since my Daisy is about to be 2 years old in two weeks...God, where does the time go? She was just born! Wait...that was Amelia...ha!

Hayden came with an entourage of fun family members that were equally as friendly to my lens...her mom in particular! I love when a picture tells a story- When it seems to describe the way I feel about something, even when I'm not in the picture. The first picture below screams love to me, and makes me think of my growing little family and the way I feel about my little girls...protective, hopeful, and just plain proud.
















Lisa- I hope you see what I see when I look through my lens! You're a stunningly beautiful woman, and you're doing a fine job if I do say so myself! Thank you for letting me follow you around like the paparazzi all day at the park! I had a great time with your/our family!
