Alissa's COLLAGE

I just wanted to share this collage I made for one of my senior girls.

Danielle...Senior Rep from Paulding

Meet Miss Grindstaff, my senior rep from Paulding. I've known Danielle since she was a baby. She is the cousin of one of my best friends. I can't believe how fast these kids grow. She seriously made me feel old but we had a blast!!!! Danielle brought along her sister Brittany so we had so much to talk about. The day was perfect and full of laughs!!!! Hope you like these photos and THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Looking forward to your fall session.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAYNE!!!!

Our little nephew, Blayne, turned ONE yesterday. Wow, the time sure does fly!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday and looking forward to your party this weekend. Love you bunches!!!! ~Uncle Todd, Aunt Erika and Cousin Braeden

MY LITTLE ARTIST...

I've decided I'm going to start posting my son's artwork. It's so much fun to see a little guy like him create wonderful art. His passion for art started around the age of 4. We couldn't keep enough paper instock so he would use whatever he could find...boxes, envelopes, napkins, our hallway wall!!!! Oh and he even traced his hand on my kitchen wall...lol!!! As he got older we bought him his own sketch pad and away he went.
Braeden loves to make his own books...yes, lots more paper and staples!!!! His teacher said to me during one of our conferences that she believes he'll be an author or an illustrator when he grows up. This teacher has been teaching Braeden since he was four. She likes to share the story of when he was little that he would go up to the chalkboard and draw out a whole story and tell it from start to finish...He is now seven and she still thinks that was the neatest thing.
Well I hope you enjoy his artwork as much as we do.
P.S. This drawing that I'm posting was too big for my scanner so the sides are missing. He did this at school and I can tell he was in a hurry by his coloring but I still like it!!!

Jamy + Addison = SISTERS

What a fun session!!!! I love photographing these girls. I started taking their photos when little Addison was only a week or so old...And look at her now, walking & talking. I was just amazed at how much she is talking now compared to when I last did their photos back in March....just AMAZED!!!! Thank you Jamy & Addison for a wonderful evening!!!!

Baby Olivia

I was so excited to meet baby Olivia and to visit with her mommy, an "old friend" who I haven't seen in 14 years....yes, that's right 14 years!!! She was one of my childhood friends who I spent most of my summer days with. I have so many memories with Anessa....lemonade stands, meeting New Kids On The Block!!!!, Slip & Slide...Oh, I could go on forever. It was so good to catch up and to see her mom and grandma. I really missed this family and hopefully they'll be back for a visit soon. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed your photos. XOXO

RELAY FOR LIFE part II

More beautiful faces from the Relay For Life photo shoot!! BTW, this was my first "Michigan family" but I managed...just joking. GO BUCKS!!!!!!

RELAY FOR LIFE part I

What a beautiful day, although it was very WINDY but it was all worth it for a great cause!! This year I had decided to schedule a day full of shoots and donate my profit to Relay for Life. We had an overwhelming response...which was good!!! My assistant for the day, Jillene, and I had a blast and I can't wait to do this again next year! THANK YOU to all who came out and supported this great cause!
