Christmas Photo Card deals!

Ordered my mother-in-law's Christmas cards today!  And Shutterfly.com has some great deals, as they always do, going on in November.   If you get your card ordered now, the normally .80 per 4x8 cards are only .55!  Normally I'm a pro-lab girl all-the-way, but when it comes to consumer sites for Christmas cards, Shutterfly always has great deals.

They have TONS of cute designs, but I found out I could download my very own design as well.  (So you won't find this design on their site.)

July in Review | West Michigan Photographer

What a beautiful July we had in Michigan - I spent most of it near water with my 

family and enjoyed every minute. 

 Now it was also soooo hot that there were only a brave few that decided to fight the sun and have family pictures done!   And lucky me, each of these families were brand new to me this year!  So, thank you, for your business and letting me spend some time with your lovely and adorable families :-)

If you've been holding off on YOUR family pictures, stay tuned and save the date: Saturday Oct. 13, 2012.  I'll be doing a killer steal on mini-sessions!

God Bless!

A Gift From God... | West Michigan Family Photographer

I just had to quick post a few images from today's maternity session.  Sweet Katie and her hubby Adam are expecting in September!   She had several downright adorable props, but there are only a few that I can publicly share until the baby is born (because it has to do with his big name reveal!).  

She made this adorable little note on the belly ribbon that says:

"to: Adam and Katie  love, God"

 

I have 2 more baby bellies waiting this month!  This session made me itchy to get to the others!

Love you guys! 

(They are also friends, not just clients - even tho' I love ALL my clients... LOL ) 

Can't wait to watch you become the fabulous, loving parents that I know you will be. You've had an amazing family as your teachers! God Bless!

Windmills & Wilkinsons - Part 2 | West Michigan Wedding Photographer

Welcome to Part 2!  Yes, I said before, there were SO MANY wonderful people and adorable special details in this wedding, I couldn't cram them all into one blog posting.  Yes.  This is the first time I have done a 2 part wedding post!! 

What a blessing to be a part of such a beautiful ceremony and expression of their love, not only for each other, but for their family and friends. 

These to handsome charmers are nephews of the bride.  Note their little sign here... it will change at the end of the ceremony!

I LOVE this look from Joel as he watches Ineke walk down the aisle.  You can almost hear him say, "Do you SEE that gorgeous woman?!!"

A moment for parents to pray over their children during the ceremony.  Such a special moment and personal touch to the occasion.  Love!

The BIG moment!

JUST MARRIED!!   But they couldn't have planned that little man in shades and a pacie LOL

The party is just starting for the friends and family... Joel & Ineke planned a huge evening full of fun, including lawn games and cold drinks outside.  Not to mention all of the sites to roam around to at the gardens.  Plenty to do while we snap a few more family shots.

Beautiful shot of Ineke's namesake, her grandmother.  If you aren't familiar with her name (ee-nuh-kuh is the pronunciation), it comes from their Dutch heritage.  Ah... NOW all these details and location is coming together, right?  

Three generations of beautiful women, inside and out, represented in those hands.  

Three generations of love represented in those rings.

More of these crazy fun loving bridal party! 

No good dutch bride can leave the Windmill Gardens without a newly personalized pair of wooden shoes!  (The adorable little house there is the bridal room)

Now, onto more of the celebrating!  Ineke added so many cute touches to the tables, including the mugs you see, which were used in lieu of a guest book.  Guest signed & decorated the mugs!

Let's get this party rolling!

Mr. & Mrs. Wilkinson!!!

Loads of amazing appetizers (think enough for a whole meal) were catered.

This is where I as a photographer indulge.  No, not because I love cake, but this moment is the full of everything I love about weddings.  Excitement, laughter, surprise... it is hands down my fav moment! 

Daddy-daughter dance is adorably interrupted by a grandson.

*sigh*

I only chose one dancing picture out of HUNDREDS to post on the blog.  This one absolutely cracks me up.  And it just shows everything that Ineke & Joel were hoping to have at their reception - fun, laughter, dancing, and togetherness.  

Secretly, its the only one because I think I would have a few people coming after me for posting some of my other favorite! lol  But I'll let the Bride & Groom share those.

Congratulations Joel & Ineke.
May God continue to bring you more closer together than you ever thought you could to anyone.  May life bring excitement, trials and triumphs that help you to understand God more clearly through one another.  And may you look back at this wedding day and think, man, that was the
Best. Day. Ever.  ;-)
