Adorable sisters E and E

I had fun photographing E and E this past week. These sisters loved mugging for the camera and we had a great time with one another. They are such cuties!

Christmas in the sun!

12.22.08-12.28.08 The family took some much needed R&R vacationing in Florida. The weather was in the 80s during the week and we hit the beach three times! The sand was white and baby powder soft. We had a great time!

Nutcracker 2008

12.18-12.20.08 Ann Arbor's CAS Ballet and AABT put together another amazing performance of the holiday favorite, The Nutcracker. If you have not been to a performance of The Nutcracker at the Power Center, I highly recommend it. It is a wonderful family tradition of ours. Here are some photos of the talented Toys.

Pretty in pink

11.29.08 Sweet little I was just a joy to photograph. She enjoyed posing for the camera and looked adorable in her holiday outfit. I especially love the black and white shot. It looks like something from the 1940s.

The necklace was the inspiration for the color palette...

Gotta tuck that shirt in again

The balloon artist was amazing!

The best man and his toast

11.22.08 The Detroit Golf Club was a beautiful backdrop for this November wedding. I know you're probably wondering, "a wedding?" I know, I focus on children's portraits, but J and V are an amazing couple with such wonderful children that I could not say no to this opportunity. This was my first experience shooting a wedding and I could not have asked for a better couple to photograph. A special thanks to J and V for trusting me with their very special day. Enjoy a sneak preview of the beginnings of their new life together. A necklace as inspiration, a gorgeous gown, a beautiful bride, an adoring groom, adorable children and face painting. What could be better? Best wishes on a long, beautiful and happy life together!
