Glimpses: Week 8

We finally got a little snow this week, and I just love the reflected light that comes in our back door when there is snow on the ground!  Graham pretty much wanted to wear his snow pants all afternoon, and he looked too adorable coloring with his window markers in this get up.  I couldn't resist capturing this moment from both inside and outside!



Cousins! {Northville, MI, Novi, MI, Farmington Hills, MI Newborn and Family Photographer}

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful group of cousins.  They were in town to visit their newborn cousin (Baby M) and grandparents!  This lively group was so much fun, and, might I add, perfectly dressed.  They definitely look like they walked right out of a Baby Gap ad, and I adore the beautiful spring colors!  I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
We were also able to squeeze in a few photographs of Baby M, all by herself.  So sweet....


Chic Critique Forum Cover Contest {Metro Detroit Family Photographer}

Chic Critique Forum (the forum that hosts the Glimpses Project that is keeping me motivated to photograph my family life) is hosting a cover contest for their first magazine.    The theme for the magazine is: Launch | to release, catapult, or send off. | To put into operation or set in motion. | To enter energetically. | To spring forward: take off.


So, I took a look through my session photographs from 2011, and I'm submitting the image below!   I love the energy and sense of "release" in the moment!



Glimpses: Week 6

This week Sophie started taking swim classes again, after taking about 2 years off.  What can I say, we've had two babies in those 2 years and Sophie's swimming curriculum was thoroughly neglected!  Needless to say, she performed better than I expected during her class this week.  I couldn't believe that she willingly went underwater with no signs of tears....I'm so proud of my baby girl, who is clearly no longer a baby!

Glimpses: Week 5

So, my Glimpses post this week is a little late, but I have a great excuse -- my computer died this week!  Such a scary thing to have happen, but thankfully everything was backed up and I didn't lose a single photo file - hooray!  

In the midst of all of this, Sophie and I started a Valentine's Day craft project that we'll be able to attach to her cards and give to all of her school friends.  I prefer not to give my kids much candy, and I think this will turn out to be a great alternative for such a candy-laden holiday.  Ooh, and just wait until I show you the corresponding Valentine's Day card...it's coming soon!
