Molly and Jim's slideshow!

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out :)
Let me know what you think!

My other life, and why I've been so crazy lately...

As many of you are aware, on top of my more than full time photography business, I'm also a middle school theatre director!

Right now I'm assistant directing a production of Annie at East Hills middle school in Bloomfield Hills. The show goes up next week- with deaf interpreter shadow performances tuesday night, and the official show on thursday the 29th- with performances at 5pm and 7pm. If anyone's interested in coming to see an AWESOME performance of Annie, you should definitely check it out!

Now I did theatre in both middle school and high school when I was growing up, and let me tell you- this production far far exceeds anything I've ever seen at the middle school level!

Here are some photos of my fabulous kids in rehearsal!

I also painted the set! That's my NYC skyline :)

Don't you love the tennis shoes on Sandy? :) Those wont be there for the show...

New Office/Client Meeting Space!

I recently moved into a real cool loft apartment. I love it, but the best part is- there's an extra bedroom- so I now have an official home office!
I've spent a little time fixing it up, and wanted to show you guys what I've come up with.

Here's the client area.

My little office area in the corner.

Notice the candy bowl is depleting and very few people have been over yet.... :)

My pretty chandelier.

This is what's on the wall facing the couch.

And the other wall.

Julie and Joe are getting married!

Joe and Julie are getting married next month! They're not nervous at all, though. They have a great attitude about their wedding- knowing that everyone's going to have a good time even if some things don't turn out as planned. :)

I had a really good time getting to know these two a little better, and I'm getting excited for their wedding day! Joe and Julie are sexy, goofy, and an all around sweet couple!

The lovely couple.

Ooh la la.

Yes, the wooden squirrel made a reappearance for this shoot- but for good reason! Julie has a squirrel tattoo on her shoulder!

Julie's a model. Really. She's taken classes.

Sooo pretty.

Baby Ella!

Ella's the daughter of past wedding clients of mine- Sandy and Levi. It was great to see them again, and to have the chance to do some photos of their beautiful little girl!

Her shirt says "I heart Giggles" :)

baby feet :)

I love this one of the whole family.

LOVE this of Ella and mom.

She looks so cozy with her daddy.

Jennie and Daniel are Engaged!

Jennie and Daniel are getting married in October. They're such a beautiful couple- getting great photos of them is easy! Thanks for the great shoot, guys!

so beautiful.

Daniel did this without prompting. So sweet.

I really love the soft look of this one.

Isn't this wooden squirrel the coolest?!

Loooove this. Such a beautiful scene.

New do!

So this is totally silly of me, but...

I got a new haircut! Woohoo!

Like it?

Maggie and Matt are getting married!

Maggie and Matt are such a cool couple. They live in New York City, and are both international travelers! I had such a good time walking around the beautiful Arboretum with them today- they're such a sweet, laid back couple.

Here are a few great ones from their shoot today:

I really love this one.

This is definitely my favorite. I love the fisherman in the background :)

Yes, I do take normal portraits!

so sweet.

Kaitlyn!

Kaitlyn is the cousin of my cousin... :)
She's graduating in a couple of weeks, and needed to get some senior photos done asap!

We had a great time, and Kaitlyn loves being in front of a camera, which made it really easy!

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Soon the tree blossoms will be gone...

Doesn't she have beautiful eyes?!

This was our last shot, and I think it's my favorite!
