It's Beach Session Time!

It's beach time, and I wanted to share one of my beach favorites from several years ago...

 

 

A few words to reflect on...

It's been a few days since I have been able to post. I know I said it would be a daily Blog, but sometimes things come up.

OK, so I'm not one for sappy things, but I saw something recently that made me really think. Take a look:

"If I had to raise my child over again..."

If I had to raise my child over again,
I'd fingerpaint more, and point my finger less...
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting...
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes...
I would care to know less, and know to care more...
I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites...
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play more...
I would run through more fields, and gaze at more stars...
I'd do more hugging, and less tugging...
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more...
I'd teach less about power, and more about the power of love...

Time goes by too fast...

Pass it on -

On The Cover: Grand Rapids Magazine

Look for my beach image on the cover of Grand Rapids Magazine this month. I think it turned out very well, and had to buy a few copies for myself too!! :)

The Cutest!

This little girl is just the sweetest. Her parents also have wonderful taste in clothing. Just wanted to share a recent favorite!

Say Cheese!

Even though I would never ask my subjects to say cheese (totally against that approach), I'm not opposed to bribery when it comes to my own child. Sometimes you have to take what you can get! Here are the latest pictures of my little girl...

Babies, babies, babies!

Wow, I have had a wonderful bunch of customers lately, and have had the opportunity to photograph many babies over the last month as well.

I promise I plan to update this blog more frequently. I had no idea how many people were actually viewing this until I installed a counter (located at the bottom of the page). I have to say that I am flattered - not only because this website gets so many views, but also flattered that so many people have entrusted me with their families in the hopes that I will create unique imagery for them.

Check back soon. I have many images that will circulate here, and on my website. I will be giving that an overhaul as well!
