Mark and Ellen: Expecting.

After this session I will be caught up with sessions on here and can finally start blogging some of the weddings I'm doing with TAK photography! This session is from a couple weeks ago, and actually baby has already arrived (a couple weeks early, but doing great and lookin' cute!) We had a lot of fun doing Mark and Ellen's session, especially since they didn't know what they were having! Mark thought it was a girl and Ellen thought it was a boy :) It was so hot and humid, and the mosquitos were TERRIBLE!..I mean, I've never seen anything like it, but they were troopers! Thanks Mark and Ellen for being so fun and up for anything, you guys will be awesome parents and I am so happy for you!

Model material ;)

Ellen looks awesome!

Oh...and mommy was right...it's a boy! Benjamin is his name, and from the photos I've seen, he is beautiful. :)

Sunshine, laughter,and fun.

I had the privilege of spending an evening at the home of a super sweet family who are very dear to me. Joey and Matthew were both in my preschool class when I was teaching, and I got to meet sweet Julia for the first time at the session. I just love these kiddos. They are such gorgeous kiddos with really big personality and I just loved photographing them. I love doing sessions at home where the kids are comfortable...and the light happened to be just perfect this night! Thanks for a fun and beautiful evening, you guys rock!

Miss JuJu B...or "B" as her brothers call her :)

I know...so cute!

Mom went to get Julia a new dress...she was a little drooly after munching on the pearls...big brother Joey entertained her in the meantime...I love how much they look alike here

Julia wasn't offering up many smiles for her session, here's a sweet face I caught while she was playing with Joey!

"Seriously Erin?"

What a beauty!

The three of them together...incredible.

aren't they sweet? ;)

These next two were not prompted at all..this is just Matthew and his very own personality..two of my favorites :)

Oh and this...Matthew looks like he is a college guy at a football game haha :)

He's so grown up...I first met him when he was 2 1/2 and now he's finished the first grade!

See...beautiful kids...gorgeous light...

Julia went to bed and we took the boys to play for a bit

Pure Michigan.
