Well, as with any toddler this little guy gave Cassie and I a run for our money on a miserably HOT and HUMID Michigan day. But Oh was he the cutest little thing EVER. His personality alone was enough to light up your whole week. I LOVED how he would sing to us, pucker his lips in his serious moments, run, smile, and play in the water.
This day was all about new discoveries for him and old ones revisited. He loved running around in the corn field, playing with my garden hose, sitting by the pond and watching me try to catch him in a desperate attempt to get at least ONE shot in focus at the end of our time together.
Finally, it happened. I love what was captured. I love how this session shows what it is to be a little boy. His parents are good friends and I have had to pleasure of watching their family grow first by photographing their wedding and then by capturing Daniel as a newborn. Now… Just look at him at nearly 18 months old. PURE Perfection if you ask me, but I am BIASED! Thanks for spending the day with us Sweet Daniel.

I LOVE THESE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT HERE ARE A FEW IN COLOR FOR MOM…








Oh how I loved the clothing choices this mom brought for her little ones. She definitely did her share to help out the retail world of ETSY with all of these lovely clothes, hats, flowers and tutus. Loved seeing the bond these beauties had with one another. They were so close and loved sitting together sharing giggles, kisses and tickles.

I have been MIA lately and seriously neglecting the blog lately. My apologies in advance as it will probably get worse. The studio is ramping up for our crazy Senior season. In the midst of our high school seniors I get the frequent opportunity to photograph our stunning newborn families.
This mom and dad were so in love with Baby Gavin and each other as you can see in the images. I had a great time photographing them and was able to feed my maternal itch by spending several hours with Sweet Gavin. Life is getting easier by the day as my three little ones grow and become more self-sufficient all the time. However, once in a while I want another little one to snuggle. Then I snap back into reality and remember how those days are done and I get to move into the next stage of the growing years which is quite exciting.
Sylvia and Ryan, thank you for spending your day with us at the studio and hopefully you are pleased with what was captured as a result. You were both so great to work with. We will see you soon.

- Awesome as ever. Love the shot of the baby at the foot of the door. Great idea!June 23, 2010 - 8:17 am
- Thank Jill. I am loving those doors too. I hope all is well with you.June 23, 2010 - 9:53 am
- Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to set an appointment up the day I find out I'm pregnant! ;) You do such an amazing job!June 24, 2010 - 8:40 pm
- Ahhh...thank you so much Kristin. We will be waiting for your call.July 6, 2010 - 11:03 am
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 and seeing their excitement for this new little miracle. I also enjoyed how completely calm and serene Mamma was. She seems perfectly content with being a new mommy. It is hard to believe Ava is their first. They look like Pros already.
Have a great day!

- I want avas hair.. beautiful little girl and beautiful photos Niki. Cherish every moment.January 11, 2010 - 5:37 pm
- That child is just precious. Love the images with her and her glowing, happy parents! You have captured the awe and wonder and humbleness of being chosen for parenthood in their eyes!January 13, 2010 - 4:33 pm
Love the oldness of this camera with this little guy’s amazingly soft and new skin. One of my other recent favorites.


Oh how I loved photographing this little guy. It seems like it was just last week that I shot Carter’s Newborn Session. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. His personality just shines right through those baby blues. I put Mom and Dad on the spot at the end of the session and talked them into going outside for a few fun family shots since Carter’s studio session was a breeze. I LOVE these images. LOVE THEM! Hopefully Mom and Dad are as pleased as I am with the results.
Have a great night!

Meet Mr. Landon with his two big sisters. Love those curls and the bright colors mom chose for them to wear. I have been photographing this family for many years now and just adore them all. It has been really neat to watch them grow.
Sorry for making you wait so long to see a sneak peek mom. It has been crazy busy around here!
