Edna turns 90

The other day I covered a celebration, Edna's 90TH Birthday.
Talk about a sweet lady. Edna had most of her family and several friends attend the party. Her oldest friend being 94. These ladies try to get together every week for a girls night out. And most of them still drive themselves. Just goes to show the secret to a long happy life, love and laughter!

                                                        Happy Birthday Edna see you at your 100TH.

Giovanni

Thursday I had the pleasure of meeting this handsome little fellow, Giovanni.

He is just the sweetest little man. I was able to get several fantastic pictures.
I can't wait to photograph the entire family together. This little prince has three adorable sisters and very good looking parents.
Here is a short video of some of my favorites;

Enjoy!

Luke

Sunday was one of those days that I just wanted to go out and shoot in the great March weather. I was lucky enough to have Luke come for his senior pictures.
There wasn't much color in the woods but Luke had  some great outfits and the light was near perfect.
I knew Luke was in the band and played sports but didn't realize how incredibly talented he really is. Luke plays several instruments and multiple sports. And did I mention he just found out he is going to Purdue University next year? Looks talent and smarts not to mention an all around nice guy.
I love my clients.
Here are just a few from the shoot.
Enjoy!

30 days in the dark.

How would you like to go 30 days in the dark? Most people would say no thank you, but I met someone who is going to do it on purpose.
Brian Lane is going 30 days in the dark to help bring awareness to a cause very dear to him.
Brian is the founder of FiftyTwo4Mom a non-profit organization to help raise funds for optic nerve disorders awareness and research. Why did Brian start this organization? His mother has this disorder.
When I found out about his project I wanted to help.  Saturday Brian and myself went to Royal Oak to hang out for a while doing some of the things Brian would normally do only wearing his masks. Suddenly browsing the racks in a favorite store, window shopping, and even opening doors became a whole different reality.
I'm very impressed with what Brian is about to do and wish him only the best of luck. So if you see him roaming around town stop and ask how he's doing and help if you can.
See Brian's Moms story here. http://www.fiftytwo4mom.org/moms_story.html

Love in the D

Nicole and Drew are getting married. When I asked Nicole do you know where you want your pictures taken; she immediately said Comerica Park. Nicole is a die hard Tigers fan and loves baseball in general. So that's what we did.
After our little walk about in Detroit we headed to the woods for a few nature shots.
Drew is a little on the shy side but once he started to open up he has a fabulous smile and very cute sense of humor.
I can't wait for the Wedding in May.
Here are just a few from the day, enjoy!
