Kevin, Rachel, Tyler, Emery, Avery, Noelle & Noah {Saranac Family Photographer}

This is my best friend's sister and her beautiful family.  These guys were a blast to shoot.  They are huge Green Bay Packers fans, so we did some fun football-themed shots which I think turned out so fun.  The last photo included in this post is my favorite, though.  Rachel said it best in her comment about this picture, "Tyler's being cool, Avery is being cheesy, Emery is trying HARD to do the right thing, Noelle is goofing off and Noah's not really paying attention. Meanwhile, Daddy is laughing and Mommy is just smiling. I love how this picture represents our personalities..."

Adam, Sara & Aiden {Michigan Lifestyle Family Photographer}

This is one of my best friends and her husband and son.  Don't they make a beautiful family?  We had so much fun shooting these lifestyle photos in Sara's parents' backyard while they were here on vacation from their home in Colorado.  I sure wish they lived closer so we could hang out and I could photograph their family more often! 

Aiden & Carson at Michigan State {East Lansing Child Photographer}

My kids and I took a drive to Michigan State University's campus to spend an afternoon with one of my best friends and her family.  I couldn't resist snapping some fun shots of the boys on campus! 

Amber & Russ Get Married! {Grayling Wedding Photographer}

At the beginning of August, I had the privelege of photographing the wedding of these two awesome people.  They chose the Chapel in the Pines at Hartwick Pines State Park in Grayling, Michigan for their venue, which couldn't have been more perfect for them.  They had a beautiful, small ceremony inside the chapel followed by a laid-back dinner back at the campground.  The little chapel has no electricity and very little natural light, so lighting was a challenge during the ceremony.  However, it was a beautiful day outside for some wedding photographs!
