- Important Tips for Your Baby’s Photography Session
  We know all too well that babies are not as peaceful or as quiet as they appear in their pristine photographs. So, what happens if your little bundle of joy gets cranky during for the photographer? Usually, if you go at the wrong time, or if you take your newborn in while hungry, you’d have […]
- rivers | okemos newborn photography
  Rivers- such a great name for this adorable little guy. I first met his family when his mom was pregnant with his big sister a few years ago, and it was fun to catch up with them and see how much she had grown. Rivers looks so little, but was almost two pounds heavier than […]
- Ella
  She’s the second daughter for this sweet family, and was just as easygoing as can be. You could tell that she was already used to the sounds of her busy older sister and the family dogs, because she napped right through it all. In fact, her dad was doing some repairs in another part of […]
- brayden | delton newborn photography
  His big sister Makayla was such a tiny peanut, and Brayden followed in her footsteps by coming a bit early. He had to spend a few days in the NICU, but was doing wonderfully by the time of our photo session. It’s common for babies who have spent some time in the hospital and who […]
- Plainwell newborn photography
  Two adorable boys! Big brother didn’t want a picture of just himself with the new baby, but he loved being part of the family pictures. It helped that they were taken in a fun spot- Mom suggested their bed for the family images, and I loved the idea. She had a beautiful grey, white and […]
- mattawan newborn photographer | elin
  Her beautiful home on a lake in Mattawan was a perfect place for her newborn session- it was a bright and sunny day, and the serene setting helped to set the tone for a peaceful morning with her family. Big sister Ainsley was so proud of her new little sister, and it was so cute […]
- portage maternity photographer
  This sweet family was expecting their second boy (now here, but that’s another post!). Even with an energetic toddler to chase around and another baby due soon, this mama-to-be looked serene. And she’s another expectant mom who makes pregnancy look gorgeous! I love big brother checking out his belly in the one below : ) […]
- augusta newborn photographer | peyton
  These girls were so sweet that I could have taken either one home with me, but big sister really stole my heart. Even now, I can’t look at her pictures without smiling! She was so smiley and affectionate- she’s going to be a great big sister. […]
- jackson baby photographer | elaine
  Elaine holds the record for being the youngest new baby I’ve photographed- she was just three days old at the time of her photo shoot. She kept her parents waiting a few days, but her mom was still ready for pictures on the day we had scheduled (and looked amazing- hard to believe she’d just […]
- 5 inspiring Pinterest boards to follow if you’re decorating a nursery
  It was so much fun to write about incredible maternity fashion Pinterest boards last week (and I came up with so many more, in so many helpful areas), that I’m making it a theme. Pinterest is an endless source of beauty and inspiration, but it can be a bit overwhelming, so a list of recommendations […]
