Hosking Kids Fun! | Macomb County Family Photographer

OK, now that I know that everyone has gotten a Holiday card from me I think it’s safe to share a little mini session I did with my own two rugrats way back in October.  It was a bit last minute (as in hey, no session this Sunday, lets go to the orchard and I will take pics of the kids while we’re there!).  It was a GORGEOUS and warm fall day.  The kids were a bit antsy after the car ride, and Addie was  being a bit of a monkey for me.  But I got a few good shots….especially of my boy, Aidan (who is usually not into having his photo taken at all!).

All I asked is for one good shot of them together, and I just adore this one.  I’m actually trying to decide if I want to do this one in a canvas or a large scrolly wooden frame.  Also, notice how grown up my Aidan looks!  *sigh*

This was the shot I set out to get for Holiday cards.

My little lovey dovey Addison.

And my sweet and handsome little man!

The rest!

Addie is such a little ham! Love her striking poses! Great pics as usual Jen!

Thanks Lisa! She certainly is a ham!!!! I told her to put her hands on her hips for a pose once when I was taking her photo earlier this summer. Now she automatically does it when she see’s me with the camera!

Natalie {almost 5 months} | Clinton Township Baby Photographer

A couple weeks ago I got to meet a great family and totally adorable baby girl.  Natalie is almost 5 months old and just a sweet and happy little doll baby!  Very content and full of smiles!  As a photographer, I certainly couldn’t ask for anything more!  She is a very loved baby girl and I have a feeling the W family will be having a wonderful first Christmas as a family of three.

I love this photo.  What I love even more is that Natalie’s Grandmother made the quilts. Her mother has made it a point to include one of the Grandmothers quilts into every photo session that Natalie has had thus far.  A very cool way to make a shoot personal and unique!

Love!

While baby smiles are awesome, I love serious, soulful faces too.  I mean seriously, isn’t she a little beauty?

More from Natalie’s session!

Jonah {6 days new} | Berkley Michigan Newborn Photographer

This little 5 pounder was such a dream to work with!  I admit that I took a LOT of photos!  With a baby that is so cute and such a good little sleeper, how could I not?  The fact that he is absolutely adorable certainly had something to do with it too!  His parents are so loving and his mom is absolutely gorgeous!  A pleasure to work with all around!

It’s always such a highlight when I can capture a little newborn smile.  How can you not love a little smile like this?

And while I know I’m done with having babies of my own, the sweetness here almost makes me say one more…almost.

This one too! Look at those lips! *swoon!*

And (of course) more favorites!

Brandon {6 months} | Downriver Baby Photographer

A few weeks ago I got to spend a morning with this adorable baby boy.  It’s hard to believe that it was only 6 months ago that I shot his newborn session.  Just as I suspected, Brandon has grown into one seriously adorable baby boy!  Poor little baby was teething and didn’t sleep well the night before.  So, his happy moments were few, but I just LOVE the moments I captured.

I just love 6 month olds.  They just embody babyness (why yes, I did make up that word!) .  They can be perfectly content to make cute baby noises and play with their feet.

He also has the most amazingly LONG lashes!  I just couldn’t stop gushing over them!  I mean, seriously!!!!!

[...] bit of a tough cookie for his last two sessions. He was having a hard time with teething during his 6 month session, and this time he just wasn’t feeling like hanging out on my backdrop.  I can’t say I [...]

Martin Family Orchard FUN! | Metro Detroit Family Photographer

When a session comes together like this, my heart just sings.  I have done a couple sessions at local apple orchards and I have to say that they provide a setting that is just perfect for the way  that I like to shoot.  Makes me wish that apples were in season all year long!  Add in a WONDERFUL family and it is just perfection.  This family is also extra special to me!  They were the very first strangers that I worked with a little over two years ago, when I was first trying my hand at photography.  Jenny was introduced to me by my brother-in-law when she was pregnant with Chase.  That was the session that really started my journey into professional photography.  I  have since worked with Jenny and her family for a few sessions and I swear that my camera just loves them (and I do too!)!  They are always favorites of mine and you will see several images of them over the last couple years on my website.

Can they be any cuter if they tried?

And Chase is SUCH a cute little guy!!!! It is just awesome to see this little guy that I met at just a few days old grow into an adorable active and FUN toddler!

He was dancing for me here and I have to say he has some pretty sweet moves!  While I was editing these, I had the Maroon 5 song “Moves Like Jagger” in my head.;)

So many favorites, but here are a few more!
