Right now I cannot tell you how very excited I am about the MANY things in the works all around me.  Lately, people have come into my life who inspire me greatly and have once again renewed my belief in creating amazing change in the world.  During the past two weeks my family has been...

Kate C - Tears are brought to my eyes. We are all blessed with our gifts, and I am so pleased that WE are both part of this team and get to be apart of greatness. Thank you for being you and always giving your 2cents when I need it, and I'll always give you mine. AND YES MORE TO COME!!!February 4, 2010 - 12:22 pm

Keith - Hey! I couldn't agree more. Keep up the good work!February 4, 2010 - 12:40 pm

Nichol Krupp - Kate, I love making you cry. Thanks for thinking of me regarding this project. My excitement is beyond words. Also, never worry that I won't give you my two cents. I look forward to yours. XOXOX!February 4, 2010 - 1:12 pm

Erica - It's so beautiful to have people in your life to inspire you. You are one of those people for me. Makes me want to be a better person. I can't wait to see what you do next and hear more about this project.February 4, 2010 - 1:40 pm

Dawn - I love your heart N. I can't wait to hear your plans. Seeing the images on TV of all the children in Haiti, I told my husband I wish I could just go down and hold them. It's heartbreaking to know they aren't getting the physical, close, cuddling they need. Anyone can cuddle.February 4, 2010 - 1:46 pm

Steve - I'm not crying until I get confirmation that Keith did. I was vaguely aware of your Oliver opportunity, but didn't know that it was going to be so short term. Good look with your Haiti endeavors, and keep us in the loop.February 4, 2010 - 2:19 pm

Amy McTeague - You are an amazing woman! I feel your passion through your writing! I told Dave the other night how bad I want to go to Haiti to help, but don't even know where to begin!February 4, 2010 - 2:52 pm

June - Niki, I am so honored to call you friend. You change lives every single day, I'm sure of it, simply by being you. I cannot wait to see how your amazing passion, creativity and determination changes lives around the world.February 4, 2010 - 6:02 pm

Cass - This is awesome Nik! I can't wait to hear more about it from you. I know how big of a heart that you have and know that you do and will do AMAZING things. XOXOFebruary 4, 2010 - 7:02 pm

kathy wolfe - I always knew you had a big heart... so glad others get to see and enjoy that heart too. YOU are a wonderful person. Oliver - a gem- what a smile!!!!February 4, 2010 - 8:04 pm

Knitterella - YOU are amazing! Thank you for your inspiration and for reminding me what is important. I can't wait to see what you are up too! :)February 4, 2010 - 8:45 pm

Suzanne Billette - Y'all are sooo inspiring. I'm talking about how can i get on Survivior and you are talking about how to save the world. You know how to put things in perspective. I should learn from you. Keep me posted on the things to come. I can't wait.February 4, 2010 - 9:56 pm

jen - Niki-Jean - you are too cool :) You have such a big heart and I love hearing the excitement in your *voice* as I read your post! Your Oliver is adorable (sob - must have been hard to say good-bye) I can't wait to hear what you have in store for Haiti...February 5, 2010 - 3:34 pm

Gabriella Swartwood - WOW is all I can say. With what group did Oliver get here? I would love to host a foreign student some day--it is perhaps the strongest bridge to world peace. Excited you are going to Haiti.February 7, 2010 - 5:47 pm

PamN - Your passion is infectious - love that about you!February 11, 2010 - 9:28 am

The Adorable “Miss Ava” {Bay City Michigan Newborn Photographer}

I have been playing catch up and have not really had a chance to blog away lately but wanted to take a break and blog this beautiful baby from just before Christmas.  Little Miss Ava is a stunner with a head of hair that was to die for.  I loved working with this great couple...

Happy New Year {2010} & Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart!

Hello Friends,
As most of you know it has been a pretty grueling few weeks for the Krupp Family with the passing of my Father, Christmas and New Year’s all happening at once.  It was kind of like the Domino Effect.  I can hardly believe that Christmas break is already over and the kids headed back...

Sandra Satkowiak - Beautifully said Nichol. Life's trials and tribulations do develop character and strength. Those life experiences enable us to show compassion to family, friends and even strangers. Being a blessing to others is a wonderful goal. We were given this life to be Christ-like and to serve our brothers and sisters and our Heavenly Father. Our loving Father takes great joy in seeing His children experience life's joys and pleasures. Your parents now are experiencing the Ultimate Gift of eternal life, free of pain, sorrow, suffering and sadness. I can only imagine what it will be like. But for now, we can enjoy the blessings we've been given and pay them forward.January 4, 2010 - 10:16 pm

PamN - You are going to have an absolutely wonderful and blessed 2010; I know it!January 5, 2010 - 10:03 am

Ashley Cappaert - I always love to read your blog. I have it saved as a favorite on my computer. Not only do I enjoy your beautiful pictures, I can relate to so much of what you are going through. I am truly sorry that you had to lose both of your parents at such a young age. I lost my dad almost 10 years ago, and one thing I learned then was that you really do learn who your friends are. Thank you for reminding me how precious life is, and that I need to slow down and not only enjoy every day, but make it the best we possibly can with the people we were blessed to share it with.January 5, 2010 - 2:48 pm

Kate C - How do you always make me cry? you know.. I think I have cried more in the last few weeks than all year, and I know you are in the same boat. Gosh... I can't believe God put us in the same boat together, good thing we can deal with each other. I look forward to seeing all your dreams and aspirations come true, I look forward to assisting you, praying and willing those dreams into reality. And I agree.. you do find out who your friends truly are, and even though its been a short friendship.. I feel like I've known you for years. and Niki.. I'll be right there with you as you jump out of the plane, its on my bucket list too.January 5, 2010 - 4:41 pm

We will miss you Dad…Pop-Pop…Punk Simpson Jr.

 
Life is hard sometimes.   REALLY hard.  We don’t really know why one family gets their parents for what seems like forever and why another loses them early on before what would seem like is way before their time.  That can happen from a sudden death or from a disease like Alzheimer’s.  I am trying, searching...

schannon - Dear Loose Lips, Thank you for sharing the memories. I am laughing, I am crying. I am so sad Punk is gone, but am so glad he did it his way! What an amazing bonding experience for you,Shane and your entire family. It really was a blessing. I am so glad he was able to say good bye to each of you. What a stubborn son of a gun!

BUCK BUCHANAN - Hey Sista-girl! Sorry to hear about Punk's passing, but your eulogy was full of grace, passion and love! Always remember that he was blessed too! He had you and your family to love on and to get love back! Now live your life as he did... Live your dash- the years in between your birth and when you go to live eternally with "the Man upstairs!" In my prayers I will ask for my Mom and Dad to look for a big bear of a man named Punk, and they will enjoy each other and the stories, memories of the ones that they now look down on from the very place we are all striving to get to. Great job and BLESS YOU! Don't we deserve a little Blessing now and then!!!! TAKE CARE, SISTA-GIRL!!!! BUCK BUCHANAN!December 30, 2009 - 3:53 pm

Aunt Nita - Well done girl. He was amazing - but more so - you are. I'm so very glad Punk was there to help mold you into what you have become today. Your mom and dad are now Dancing With the Stars. Love you always and forever.January 4, 2010 - 7:41 pm

My heart goes out to you and your family. xoFebruary 15, 2010 - 12:36 pm

Baby Baya….Super Cute! I just wanted to chew those cheeks!

Meet Little Miss Baya.  She was the cutest little thing.  Her Mommy brought THE CUTEST little TUTU skirt made by the proud Auntie.  I love it and am going to order some for my studio.  So adorable.   These were shot a few weeks before Christmas arrived and I was hoping to get them a sneak...

I Believe…

I believe in cultivating opposite, but complementary views of life, and I believe in meeting life’s challenges with contradictory strategies. I believe in reckoning with the ultimate meaninglessness of our existence, even as we fall in love with the miracle of being alive. I believe in working passionately to make our lives count while never...
