More From The Lovely Law Quad | MICHIGAN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

I love 90% of my job as a photographer… the 10% I don’t love? Well let’s just say yesterday I paid my 9-year-old to fold packaging boxes and tidy up my studio, cause someone’s gotta do it… Where was I? Oh ya, the part that I love…

- Families that I ADORE

- Getting excited hugs from little people who remember me (the kids in the post right before this also gave me hugs… and that, my friends, makes me smile even as I type)

- Proving to moms that we got great shots, even if it felt like mayhem during the shoot

- Mayhem shoots, because really we would be bored if our kids always sat still and listened to us… I think (I have no real proof of this)

She made us laugh when she announced something like “Take a picture of this. It will be great!” Then she laid down in the grass and posed.

She certainly has picked up more from her mom than just good looks. She was so thoughtful and drew this for me spontaneously a few days before the session. It’s a tornado (: . I think it also looks like the profile of a happy dog.

These beautiful kids in their beautiful Indian outfits turned a lot of heads. It was fun to see you again!

Thoughtful… and Sneaky | MICHIGAN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

These are going to be made into artwork as a surprise for their dad… shhhhh, don’t tell but there are many more that will surprise mom.

And of course, one to make you laugh. She was so patient considering most younger siblings don’t love the together shots when their older siblings. It can get a little rough…

But it’s always worth the work.

She’s gotta know she’s the cutest thing ever… I love photographing this beautiful girl. She’s so cooperative and pleasant. So we always shoot and shoot until we have a million pictures.

But even perfect models have their limits…

So many reasons to love these two, but right now I’ll focus on how much I love their beautiful connection. My friend Jean and I have been talking about swapping a quick shoot of each other with our babies for forever… glad we finally made it happen.

My Little Friends | MICHIGAN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

Love photographing these handsome brothers… don’t love the feeling that time is flying by out of control. I swear it was yesterday that I did their newborn sessions (*sigh*).

So that’s what famous people look like?

We were in Chicago (my new absolute favorite city) with our friends, and while wandering downtown we bumped into the filming of Transformers 3. I didn’t know who I was taking pictures of, but I saw these guys and thought they looked famous. So I just kept snapping away. Later I found out my camera was full of pictures of Shia LaBeouf and Patrick Dempsey.

I feel happy just looking at these. He’s the same age as my baby, and I soooooo love this stage. I could watch 1-year-old belly squeezes and discoveries all day long.

I Shot Someone in Detroit #3 | MICHIGAN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

These are a few of my favorites from ISSID #3… a workshop in Detroit where professional photographers collaborate a little and play a lot. It was fun getting to know the many talented and skilled people in the area… and I’m not just talking about Sarah’s dance skills and Lisa’s impersonation of a tiger skills (or mine, for that matter)… I’m talking about truly passionate photographers who love the industry as much as I do. Can’t wait for ISSID #4!!

Niece and Nephew | MICHIGAN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

These are two of my favorite people in the world… and two of the cutest people in the world. We had a fun little cousin get-together/photo shoot at Cranbrook House and Gardens. (side note: I’m experimenting with new Lightroom presets for some of the processing). My sister-in-law and I discovered that my niece is a camera diva… I have to claim some responsibility for that, since I’ve made her model for me since she was only a few months old. You try being a photographer and resisting THAT red, curly hair… it simply can’t be done. During this shoot, when her brother accidentally upstaged her, it was kind of adorable to me when she did this…

Luckily she has a sweet brother who did this…

And moments later we were back to this…

… and (work it girl!) this…

So the moral of the story is if you’re as cute as she is, and you have pretty much the most awesome hair ever, you have every right to want the camera as much as it wants you.
