09.01.2007 ~ TRI-State Sailing Regatta 2007

Back home in Stevensville for a couple of days during this beautiful holiday weekend. As we were wrapping up dinner Saturday evening my mother had mentioned that the sailboats were in St. Joseph for their Annual TRI-State Sailing Regatta. The trip starts in Chicago, spends the night in St. Joe and the next morning heads for Michigan City.

Tossed my back-up camera at mom and we headed down for sunset. These are only a few images that I caught last night. With the session I have scheduled for this morning I’m hoping to catch them as they leave at 9am. One boat that I wanted to get pictures of last night was just not working for me due to lighting. I have a goal this morning…

Ethan is SIX Months Old!

These little ones grow up way too fast! Seems like just a couple weeks ago Ethan came into the studio for portraits with plans for birth announcements. He’s got a great little personality…and I know half of where he gets it from! Entertainment in the studio STAYS in the studio!;)The “you’re still here?” picture. I just love this little man.

Congratulations Mark & Patricia!

Today was amazing. Starting the day with rain that turned into wonderful.

The location was Brook Lodge in Augusta, MI. The colors were spectacular, cameras were out, the groom was entertaining, and the bride…stunning.

Eight Weeks is SOOOOOOO Sweet.

Friday afternoon Jarrett brought his mom and his oldest sister, K.C., into the studio with him. He was fascinated with the lights. Already rolling from side-to-side he found ways of entertaining himself and had very little interest in the camera. To go along with some amazing pictures I had the opportunity to cuddle with one very sweet little man.

Mr. Robinson

I love this kid! Nathan is so much fun. We just did pictures of him back in June as a surprise for Father’s Day. The words and logic from this child in only a couple of months is amazing. Nathan turned two on the ninth and showed his age well this morning. We had new tricks for mom and tears when he was finished. Two is so much fun!

World Photography Day ~ 08.19.2007

World Photography Day is one day a year where photographers around the world do what they love together.

Today I took two pictures…both were the beginning of my day.
Today, everyday…I love my kids. Nyla made her way into bed with out us knowing sometime this morning. Our little princess. She ordered juice just after this picture was taken.As I came down the stairs to start coffee and get the princess some juice I had Spiderman watching me through backwards binoculars.

I knew then it was going to be a great day!

43rd Annual Danish Festival

The day was spent in Greenville taking in all the festivities that the Danish Festival has to offer. How much better can it get when kids ask for popcorn for lunch, and get it.

Parade at 11am. Here is a picture of the kids patiently waiting for the parade to start.My Redskins fan and little lady sit with their friend Jet.Wandering down Lafayette I didn’t get a chance to checkout all the craft booths like I enjoy due to having the kids with me. We did stop at and purchase a sun catcher from Breath Catchers and a halo with ribbons for Nyla before the parade. After the parade we wandered back up the opposite side of the street and found Fran who I purchased three rag rugs from last fall at the East Grand Rapids show.I was looking for a kitchen rug, but Fran didn’t have any deep red. I’ll just have to track her down at one of her upcoming shows. If you are interested in checking out Fran’s Why Nots Woven Rag Rugs you can reach her at (269)674-8890 or email her at fpsmith2002@yahoo.com to find out where here upcoming shows are. Her rugs are great. The E.GR show she couldn’t keep them on the tables.
