Hill-Abel Family

WARNING

This post contains extreme cuteness.

This weekend I had the pleasure of not only photographing but visiting with great friends.

The Hills and I have been friends for many years. They are one of those families that everyone wants to be like . They work hard, play hard, but mostly they LOVE. Anyone who is either a family member or friend to these wonderful people are truly blessed. I am one of those lucky people.

I am not saying extreme cuteness just because I love this family. Donna (one of the owners of ALWAYS SPECIAL LINENS) brought her grand babies with her and well you see if I was exaggerating.

And no Christmas photo shoot would be complete without Jammie's.

Simons Family

The other day the Simons Family came to see me and get Dustin's Christmas pictures done.
If this little man doesn't put you in the Holiday Spirit, nothing will.
I can't remember the last time I've seen a jollier little elf.
Here are just a few, enjoy!

Tracy and Nate

A couple of Saturdays  ago my Little Sister (in law) Tracy got married to her best friend Nate.
A lot of the Fisher family headed to South Carolina for the festivities. I was lucky enough to not only attend but shoot the Wedding .
Tracy and Nate have the best story http://www.mywedding.com/tracyandnateswedding/stories.html .
And the entire Wedding weekend was incredible.
Thank you to the Bruce Family for hosting the rehearsal dinner and opening your home to our crazy family.Also thanks to the Litchfield Country Club for making Tracy and Nate's special day so wonderful.
And I can't forget my Father in law John for making all the women cry with his sunrise photo shoot request and pancake breakfast.
Love you both more than words can say. Have a very blessed, healthy , and happy life together. I can't wait to capture several more memories of your life as they happen.
Here are just a few pictures from the weekend.

Here is a short video with even more pictures, enjoy!

Reese

This coming Sunday this cute little girlie is turning 3.
You can't tell in the pictures but all she wanted to do was , get out of the grass. She kept saying she was scratchy and itching her legs.
So if you want to torture your children and get some great pictures in the process, give me a call.
Just kidding about the torture.
No children were harmed in the taking of these portraits.
Happy Birthday Reese!

Beth-Ann and Mike

One week ago today Beth-Ann and Mike tied the knot.
They got married and had their reception at the beautiful Fore Lakes in Kimball Michigan.
This was the second time we lucked out with the weather.Just about one hour after the out door ceremony and formal pictures, it stormed.
When we meet for the engagement pictures it stormed about one minute after we finished.
I love the way they love each other and they are both very expressive . Not to mentioned they are both very easy on the eyes.
The entire day was a joy for me to capture. Great location, gorgeous couple, and fun family and friends .
I LOVE my job!

Here is a teaser video.
Enjoy!
