My Not So Baby Girl... :: Holland MI Photography

This is my not so baby girl, Erica. She just turned 14. Boy, do I feel old!! She is a freshman at Saugatuck High School. We couldn't be more proud of her. She's on the honor roll, and plays 3 sports! Volleyball, Softball and her favorite is basketball. She's growing up so quickly...it makes me sad. I may have to break out the old scrapbooks to get a peak of that adorable little girl that she once was. She is growing up to be a very beautiful girl. Hold on to your kids...they grow up way to fast!

One of my favorites. I can't decide if I like it better in color or...

Black and white...

A natural smile!

Erica thinks this one makes her nose look big. :) I like it though!!

Moody black and white! I loved this barn, but even in the middle of the afternoon it was a bit creepy. The noises that were coming from it were scary! Im sure it was just the wind though. hehehe

Another fave...

Total attitude here...so Erica!

Princess Alex, Part 2 :: Newborn Photography, Holland MI

What can you say about a baby this stinkin' cute? She was a very sleepy baby at her session, and only woke up for a few shots. She is so full of personality, even while she sleeps. Love the hat...thanks to Mudpies & Pigtails Boutique
Large preview ahead!

I love that her little tongue is sticking out. Did I mention how precious she is?

Momma and baby...

Sleeping Beauty

I think she is a little shy

{swoon}

She looks deep in thought

Nicole & Johnny, Part 2 :: Wedding Photography, Detroit MI

I love to watch couples in love. I love to watch couples get married. I cry at weddings. I cry... behind the lens. I am huge sap!

This wedding was no different, in fact, it was actually worse! Nicole has been a dear friend of mine since we were 15. Nicole and I, both from Michigan, ended up at the same High School in Paragould, AR. We met at a time in our lives when we really needed somebody. She & I were going through similar problems and we just clicked...both introduced by different friends, our personalities clicked and for those few short months we were in Arkansas, we were inseparable.

I moved back to Michigan during the 2nd semester of my senior year. Nicole stayed in Arkansas, I knew I was gonna miss her! Years went by before we saw each other again. I had been looking for her, and she for me. One day, I googled her and came upon an email address. I took a chance and emailed, not knowing if it was her. I gave my phone number in hopes that this person was her, or knew of her.

On my 30th birthday, 3 years ago, the phone rang. On the end was Nicole! It had been nearly 12 years since I spoke with her.

Nicole lives in the Detroit area, so we do not get to see each other as often as we'd like. Our lives keep us both very busy, but we still find time to chat on the phone and via email when we can.

I was honored when Nicole asked me to photograph her wedding. How could I not say yes? :)

I met Johnny the day of the wedding. I was extremely thrilled for both of them. Johnny is a kind hearted man, and boy does he love Nicole! It is evident in the way he looks at her, speaks to her and about her!

Johnny has been in the military for 7 months. He will be leaving on November 8 for Alaska, so I wanted to make sure I got them a large preview done to enjoy before he leaves.

Thank you Nicole and Johnny for letting me capture your wedding day. I love you both!

Enjoy your preview!
