Welcome

Welcome to the blog! I'm a baby and children's photographer in Kalamazoo, Michigan (and surrounding areas). Here you'll find previews of the latest sessions here, news, a few ramblings and probably a puppy picture or two!

Play

June 30, 2010 – 8:41 pm

They picked wild strawberries, danced in tutus, and had what they told me was ‘the best tea party ever!’ Watching them explore and enjoy their morning was just as much fun for me! I’m showing some of the collages I put together from the session, just for a change of pace.

Catching up

June 19, 2010 – 8:31 pm

I’ve got some catching up to do! These are no longer sneak peeks, because I’ve been a blog slacker. In the past nine days, though, I’ve been to Massachusetts and back (by car) and photographed a wedding, a birth, and three newborns- so I’ve got pictures to share for some time to come. This sweet little girl is the new daughter of the owner of the  wonderful Curves Kalamazoo- if you’re looking for a place full of friendly people to exercise with, this is it! Meet Miss T. and her proud big brother-

Ideal

June 18, 2010 – 8:08 pm

A photographer friend once said that if she could make a business of photographing only 6-9 month olds and 4 year old girls, she’d do it. While I’d miss all the other great ages, when I met these two I could see what she meant. Both such sweethearts and at such perfect ages for a session!

    Gorgeous Images! Such genuine smiles and such beautiful girls!

Scale

June 10, 2010 – 12:09 pm

Some of my favorite newborn images are those of dads holding their new babies- the combination of strength and tenderness, the contrast of that fragile new baby with a dad’s tough hands, and most of all the sense of scale it gives. J. does look small on his own, but then look at his tininess when he’s in dad’s hands!
