Kaelen Birth Announcement

Here is a cute birth announcement for one of our newest clients. :) Isn't he adorable?

Finally an Update!

Obviously, it has been awhile since we have blogged.  I swear, we are not just slackers!  We do have a pretty good excuse: we were building our house and moving in.  We have done some pretty awesome photo sessions the past couple of months.  We were just pounding away at our house (literally!) so much that we didn't have a chance to post any shots.

In February we had our annual sports photos for Upward Basketball.  This is always a riot to shoot.  The kids range in age from kindergarten through 8th grade.  It's a great program and we are proud to be a part of it.

We photographed Brandy and Mark for their engagement session....

Ironically, their wedding is this afternoon and I'm so excited!  They are an adorable couple and I know we are going to get some beautiful shots at the wedding.

We also met Nathan & Layla in February.  Their mom, Heather, heard about us through a friend and came in for a really fun shoot.  Nathan was a little tough guy with his tattoos and skateboard.  What a ham, that boy loves the camera!

Of course, Layla is a darling princess.  Her mom found these cool ballerina outfits online and Layla made a beautiful little dancer!

Two of our long-time clients came in for maternity photos.  We photographed Chris & Troy's wedding in 2004 and have had the pleasure of photographing their family several times since then.   

Baby Kaelen was born shortly after we did the maternity session.  I had the opportunity to photograph him already and will be posting some of my faves soon.

Joy & Kevin are another previous wedding couple that have allowed us to capture their growing family.

We have gotten to watch their daughter grow literally since she was born.  We made some cool books showcasing her first year.  Here's a collage from her 6 month shoot.  I can't believe how big she is now!  

We are looking forward to taking some cuddly newborn photos of Joy & Kevin's new baby girl this Tuesday.

We have lots more sessions to post, thanks so much for bearing with us!  We are coming full-swing into wedding season but I am going to try my best to keep everyone updated on the happenings around ETV.

Megan + Jay

Snowstorm? Ha!  Megan & Jay had a beautiful winter wedding despite the incredible amount of snow that was dumped on us that day!  We took full advantage of the blowing flurries & they made a stunning backdrop for their photographs.

Thanks, Megan and Jay and your wedding party for being such troopers!  Even though it was cold, we really think it was worth it.

McKenna, Taylor & Miley

I met this awesome family when they came in for our holiday special in December.  As soon as I met them, I knew I would love to photograph them!  The girls are adorable and for this session we did some personal portraits of each and some fun ones of the three of them together.

Here's McKenna with her doll...matching outfits of course.  

Here's Taylor the future rock star.  She was hilarious lip-syncing!

And here's Miley celebrating her first birthday (a few days early) with her own cupcake!  I love this one with her tongue sticking out!

A New Look

I have been on the lookout for some time now for some unique furniture that would fit the style of our studio.  I wanted something funky, fun and modern.  Something with classic lines and bright, bold colors.  Well, how about orange leather furniture?  Yes, that's right.  We found a killer deal on this awesome set and couldn't pass it up!  It looks so cool in our studio and matches our color scheme perfectly.  And the best part: we now have so much more seating in the front and a place to look through books and chat comfortably.  We moved the backgrounds and lights to the back room which gives us a ton more space to shoot in.  So the next time you're in the area stop in and check it out!

Michigan Wedding Guide

One of our images from Shantel & Drew's wedding was chosen for the cover of the 2009 Michigan Wedding Guide.  If you are planning a wedding and want to get your hands on a copy of this very helpful little guide, click here.  You can also keep your eye out for them at many local bridal shows and businesses.  Of course, you can also stop into our studio to grab a copy!

Sabrina, Dustin, Isabelle & Natalie

Sabrina & Dustin brought their two gorgeous girls in for some family portraits.  Natalie was only a couple weeks old and so very precious!  Their oldest, Isabelle, is just a doll and such a proud big sissy!

Sabrina & Dustin: thanks so much for coming in!  We are so excited to watch the girls grow!
