Vera Bradley has gone through and discontinued a couple of my favorite collections. One of them being Hope Toile which helped to raise critical research funds for the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer in 2006. Joining the Hope Toile is the Citrus, Nantucket Navy, and Bermuda Blue. Why am I excited about this? Semi Annual Sale!
My darling two year old daughter and I had an evening Ty-free tonight. We started with meeting daddy at a friends house. Ricky’s son races out at Winston Motor Speedway in Rothbury, MI every Friday night (go check him out!!!). This car was definitely a must experience for Nyla. Pictured is Camilla and Nyla (Ny’s driving).
Then we were off to grab ice cream and visit a girlfriend. When we left there we drove down to Lime Lake where Solon Twp. Fire Dept. was doing water rescue training. My timing wasn’t great….they were all getting out of the water when we pulled up. Still, I got a great shot of one of the engines. I’m looking forward to getting photos of the new truck when it arrives in July!
After getting the kids to bed I was outside watering flowers and moving sprinklers. One of the best parts of this new house is the sky’s at night. The west of course has amazing sunsets, but what’s crazy is the east never follows suit. You would have thought it was raining in the east tonight.
I shot several images and linked them all together for a panoramic effect.

This past week I can sum up in three words…self inflicted insanity. I love my job!
Summer playdate’s the past couple weeks have kicked-off the summer perfect. I love watching my kids run and play with their friends. Still in shock that I will have both kids in preschool in the fall…how do they grow-up so fast?
Wednesday Evan brought his parents with him for his three month photos. This little redhead has grown so much since he came in for birth announcements and photos with his parents back in March. You’re a doll little man!
Friday we had wicked winds coming out of the west. Schalese & Alvin’s beach wedding in Grand Haven was scheduled for 7pm. Thankfully the winds started to die down just before we got started. Such a wonderful couple. I wish them all the best. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your day.

This photo is from a session I had Thursday morning. I just love Mr. Robinson’s expression…so I had to find reason to use it!

A week ago Saturday the Grand Rapids Camera Club made a trip to Niles, MI to Fernwood Botanical Garden. Talk about beauty. All the spring flowers in bloom, the nature trails…speechless.

After leaving the garden we drove up the coast making a stop to pick up my kids and head to St. Josephs pier and then onto South Haven.
This pic was taken by Mike Mitchell of the Grand Rapids Camera Club. This is my son Tyler and I at the South Haven pier.
As we were leaving the St. Joseph pier Tyler grabbed me and said that he had a surprise. He had placed his hands in the sand. The next day was Mother’s Day. Monday he brought his Mother’s Day gift home from school. It was a picture of a flower pot with a poem on the pot. The flower was his hand prints in red paint. The poem fit so nicely with his hands in the sand.
