Mazzorana Family

Every summer I am lucky enough to spend an evening with this family and it is always filled with laughter and so much fun.  These two little guys are so friendly and make my job extremely easy. They are more than willing to help make everyone smile for the pictures- even if that means tickling me! This year we spent the evening on Belle Isle which was absolutely beautiful- it may have become my new favorite photo shoot location!

Playing Dress Up

We have been talking about taking these photographs of my sweet niece for awhile and I am so glad we finally found an evening to fit them in.  I had photographed a couple on their wedding day in this same field last summer and we were on a mission to find this beautiful tree up on a hill in Kensington.  After some searching we spotted it and hiked up the hill with this little gal's mom's wedding dress in hand.  We had so much fun playing dress up as the sun slowly sank behind the hill creating the perfect light.  There were lots of giggles and smiles as Aubrin tried on her mom's wedding dress- such a fun evening. The plan is to keep these photographs and share them with Aubrin on her wedding day!

Moms and their littles, so much love.

Fox Family

Each summer I get to meet with the Fox family for their annual family pictures.  They always pick the most beautiful locations and we have a wonderful time exploring.  This year we explored downtown Northville for their photographs.  During our time together the three Fox kids always make me laugh when they want to hold my hand as we cross the street or they ask me little sweet little questions about my summer.  They can't help but certainly make you feel loved!  Enjoy the photographs and your summer, Fox family! 

Beacome Family

I've said it before, but my favorite part about my job is watching families as they grow over the years.  The Beacome family is no exception- I have been photographing them since their oldest was just a babe. And this year they added a new little one to their photographs! We braved this strangely cold spring weather and squeezed in a photo shoot right before the rain started coming down at Heritage Park in Farmington.  We had a great time playing around and getting some natural shots of the family just being themselves together.  Thanks so much for the fun morning, Beacome family! 

Playtime with Parker

Oh my goodness, this little guy is growing up quickly!  I always have so much fun stopping by to photograph Parker as he is growing up and it certainly gives me the perfect excuse for a Saturday play date with one of my favorite guys.  Parker love his blocks, crawling everywhere, climbing stairs, his stuffed monkey, and holding onto his Mom and Dad and attempting to walk.  Thanks for letting me share a lazy Saturday morning with you Miller family!

Serbinski Family

I watched this little guy growing in his Mom’s belly and was so glad to not only meet him for the first time, but also to have the chance to photograph their new family of three!  The festively decorated porch at their home made for the perfect backdrop and this little guy stayed awake for the whole thing.  It was so much fun to watch the tenderness between these new parents as they kept their little guy warm and carefully passed him from one another for the photographs.  Looking forward to watching this little guy grow! 

Packard Family

Little girls have this inherent tendency to giggle and smile and model without knowing it (or maybe they do know it and they have been practicing in the mirror for weeks!) whenever a camera comes around.  The little ones in the Packard family shared endless giggles during our photo shoot and some of my favorite photographs snapped of these two little ones were during our failed attempts to get the girls to sit still.  What a beautiful family the Packards have and I was so lucky to share some time with all of them.
