Faley Family

I have been lucky enough to photograph part of the Faley family since I started my business.  This time they brought the whole gang to their shoot!  Coming from a big family myself, I know how special it is to get everyone together for a few photographs.  Because of that, I have to say extended family shoots are some of my favorite.  The Faley family made my job simple and they seemed to honestly enjoy wondering around the park together :)  And we couldn't beat the beautiful fall day we had.  Thanks for introducing me to the whole gang- I hope these pictures are treasured for years to come! 

Barlage Family

I had so much fun photographing Cam for his first birthday.  He was all smiles and all little boy- moving from place to place at about a mile a minute.  His momma and I were teammates and good friends throughout high school, so when I received an e-mail from her asking to me to photograph her little guy's first birthday I could not have been more excited.  It was so sweet to see her growing little family and what a great mom she has become.  After his outdoor pictures Cam was treated to a cake to kick off his birthday celebration.  He loved it and was certainly not afraid of getting messy! It was straight into the tub after devouring all the frosting.  Thanks for letting me capture this fun stage of life with you, Barlage Family! 

Vondrasek Family

I cannot get enough of going back and reliving all of the wonderful outdoor shoots from this past year.  It was such an honor to photograph so many families and to be able to freeze time for a few moments that can be treasured for years to come. The Vondraseks did their shoot at the very popular Milford Central Park- I mean what is not to love about this location.  Their two little ones were about as sweet as they come.  Their little girl kept grabbing my hand while we wondered around downtown (melt my heart!)  I am just saying- can't you see this beautiful family on the cover of a magazine?!? Thanks so much for letting me capture the joy in your family, Vondraseks!

Biagioli Family

Hello beautiful snow!  I know you just may catch me complaining about the cold every now and again, but when it gives you a backdrop like this one it is clearly something to celebrate! The Biagioli Family and I intended on doing a fall shoot, but when our first snowstorm hit, that fall session turned into a winter session.  We went with it and I am so glad we did! I am looking forward to shooting more snowy family shoots this winter for those who are willing to brave the cold.  Thanks for enduring cold toes (and hands and noses . . . ) and thinking warm thoughts, Biagioli Family! 

Palazeti Family

Still catching up on blogposts over here from the fall insanity!  But the colors are gorgeous and I can almost feel that sunshine as I look out my window at the snow slowing accumulating. So I hope you don't mind riding down memory lane with me back to October. 

I met up with the Palazeti family right before their gender reveal party.  To say that their family was excited would be an understatement- which was totally understandable! Their two little girls were very patient through their pictures while they were anxiously awaiting to find out if they would have a little brother or sister joining their family.  We snapped these photographs at Booth Park in Birmingham and then wondered downtown Birmingham to find a few industrial looking backgrounds.  Still one of my favorite locations! Thank you for letting me capture a few images of your family before you grow by one more, Palezeti family! 

Baligian Family

I am going to just take a moment to welcome myself back to the blog! Hey, everyone! I have been so busy editing photo shoots and trying to get them back to families in a timely manner that I have been completely ignoring this little space. So I am back and I am going to try and share lots of the amazing photo shoots from the past few months. First up . . . the Baligian family!

The Baligian family is ridiculously sweet and caring and I couldn't be more grateful that I was able to capture a few images of them together.   We met at Booth Park in Birmingham and were able to snap a few photographs of their active little ones while exploring the park. And can we talk about the green trees and short sleeves- already missing that! 

Mazzorana Family

Not only do I love getting a chance to hang out with the Mazzorana Family, but they always pick the best locations for their annual summer photo shoots.  This year they suggested Blossom Heath in St. Clair Shores and it was gorgeous.   If the location has a willow tree just sign me up! We met late in the evening when the sun was just about to set and explored the park with their two adventurous boys. Thanks for an evening of laughs and catching up, Mazzorana Family!
