Amanda | Zeeland West Senior || Holland MI Senior Photography

I am still way behind on my blogging, but I am trying to catch up.  Life always seems to take us in different directions, and during that time, I tend to get lost in the moment.  I am trying to stay on track, and that includes blogging.
Meet Amanda.  This girl rocked it out in front of the camera.  She had some of the cutest outfits and best.shoes.ever!  I wish I would have snapped a few more shots of her shoes. :(  I only wish I had half the taste she has.  :)  Enjoy!

XOXO

Melissa S | Senior 2012 || Holland MI Senior Photography

I've been way behind on blogging, so I'm trying to play catch up.  Every few days, I'll blog a session from summer that hasn't made it here yet (not in any particular order :).
Meet Melissa...
She was such fun to shoot.  Loved the images from session.  She has such a spunky personality and was up for anything.  She was a trooper, for sure!

Steward Family | Grand Haven MI Family Photography

Meet the Steward family. I've been friends with Dad for years...we got back...way back. I am always excited when friends and family ask me to take their family pictures. I shot this family back when there was only 3 of them. Big brother and big sister weren't too happy about having their pictures taken, but I think we got a few good ones. Little sister...what a doll!! Once she got over her camera shyness, she was hamming it up! Onto the pictures...

New Products | Holland MI Senior Photography

So excited about my new packaging for my SENIOR digital packages.
When you purchase a digital package for your senior portraits, you will receive your digital files in this totally fabulous DVD packaging. 
I love the custom options included with these.  Includes a custom DVD as well!!  They also have a magnetic closure to ensure your digital files are safe!  Let me know what you think of these (leave me some bloggy love :)! 
Again, these are only available (at this time) for the Senior Digital Package!

Thanks for stopping by!

Balloons | Holland MI Photography

We've lived in our house for nearly five years.  We have a large lot a few doors down where hot air balloons launch.  In all the years I've lived here, i've missed the launches.  Every.Single.One.

I was so excited this evening to be driving home and see the hot air balloon people setting up to launch.  I quickly dropped my husband off, grabbed my camera and ran out the door.  The people launching the balloon were super nice and let me get up close and personal. 

The young girl that was about to go up was a nervous wreck.  Although I didn't catch her name or circumstances, I was giddy for her (thanks to her, I was able to catch this launch.  :) 

This will be something that definately goes on my bucket list.  I hope that my husband (both of us are a little afraid of heights, but ssshhh...don't tell him I told you that) and I can do something like this soon.  I'd love a sunset ride! 

What's on your bucket list?

As always, feel free to leave some blog love (aka, comments).  I love to read what others think of my work and random ramblings.

Ok, so on to the pictures.  I just wish the balloon wasn't a REMAX balloon, a big logo detracts from the images, but I'll take what I can get.  hehe.

Enjoy! 

In Rememberence | Momma

Some people have wondered what's happened to me over the last few months.  Business has been slow, but I wouldn't change that for a minute.  I was exactly where I needed to be.
My husbands mom was diagnosed with lung cancer last February 2010 (on my husband's birthday).   Towards the end of April this year, Debbie's cancer started to take over.  I was blessed to be able to be there everyday and help take care of her.  She passed away on June 24th.  She went to be with her Heavenly Father peacefully.  As sad as we all were, it was a blessing that she was taken in her sleep, just as she had prayed for. 

She is missed and loved everyday.  May she rest in peace.

In loving memory of my mother in law, my mother, my friend.  I love you and miss you every single day!
