This type of weather is one of the reasons I love Michigan and this fall has been exceptional! </div><div><br /></div><div>My fall schedule has been full of great family sessions and about a week ago I had the opportunity to photograph the G-Family at their beautiful home! We had a great time walking around their yard finding great locations for a few images. The boys kept it fun with Luciano adding his own comic relief to the afternoon! Here are just a few of my favorite images from their session:</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSYXjD25I/AAAAAAAAAmI/_lGB_8R3WGw/s1600/298Guerrazzi-182BLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSYXjD25I/AAAAAAAAAmI/_lGB_8R3WGw/s320/298Guerrazzi-182BLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531988664630107026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSX786NmI/AAAAAAAAAmA/D1IydZ4f6ag/s1600/298Guerrazzi-052BLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSX786NmI/AAAAAAAAAmA/D1IydZ4f6ag/s320/298Guerrazzi-052BLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531988657222334050" /></a>Love this smile :) She just got her braces off last week!!<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSXSBnWNI/AAAAAAAAAl4/bDi9NVYd7ZE/s1600/298Guerrazzi-160BLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSXSBnWNI/AAAAAAAAAl4/bDi9NVYd7ZE/s320/298Guerrazzi-160BLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531988645967780050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSXAcknZI/AAAAAAAAAlw/1kNqAJgnFmc/s1600/298Guerrazzi-135BLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSXAcknZI/AAAAAAAAAlw/1kNqAJgnFmc/s320/298Guerrazzi-135BLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531988641249009042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSWoMkavI/AAAAAAAAAlo/6NiDFieUpU0/s1600/298Guerrazzi-105BLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TMWSWoMkavI/AAAAAAAAAlo/6NiDFieUpU0/s320/298Guerrazzi-105BLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531988634739436274" /></a>Thank you so much G-family for a wonderful afternoon!

Tricia is 2 and and her little sister is 4 months. Tricia had a great time checking out the studio and all of the fun things to sit on & climb.

It was very sweet...of course we were able to grab some adorable expressions without the pacifier along the way too!

We had to get a little creative when our original plan had to be changed...the Diamond Dash was going on and it was a little nutty with all the bridal couples scrambling to get their pictures taken at various MSU landmarks & finish the race...they were EVERYWHERE :) But we had a great time!

Well I did lots of that from behind the camera as well as squeak toys, make funny sounds or just about anything crazy to get the attention of 3 beautiful sheepdogs simultaneously!

I got to take a road trip the last weekend of summer to photograph one of my favorite families...these 4 kids are adorable! Especially little Annemarie...what a spit fire! Their mom also happens to be a close friend of mine who I have known for almost 25 years! That's really scary when you say it like that :)</div><div><br /></div><div>The kids did wonderful...I think mom & dad were taking them for ice cream after their session...I am all about the bribery! It works at my house on picture day too! There was a beautiful park near their house with trails, ponds and even a huge stone gazebo! It was so cool! </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are just a few of my favorite images from their session:</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TIjznEz3K_I/AAAAAAAAAig/UvznmfKbcWY/s1600/265Moore-217blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TIjznEz3K_I/AAAAAAAAAig/UvznmfKbcWY/s320/265Moore-217blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514925596346887154" /></a>Annemarie just finished twirlilng!<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TIjzmqszRVI/AAAAAAAAAiY/0aoZ69yA9zk/s1600/265Moore-081Blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TIjzmqszRVI/AAAAAAAAAiY/0aoZ69yA9zk/s320/265Moore-081Blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514925589337949522" /></a>Thanks so much for the awesome afternoon of photographing!

I was so excited when I got a call from their mom to photograph her 3 beautiful children again this year! I had so much fun last fall and it is always so fun for me to see how much the kids have grown over the past year! Charlie is nearly as tall as me now and he is only 10! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The kids all did awesome! They rocked it for the entire 30 minutes or so that we were photographing! Of course we had to take a few breaks to look at the cool fish in the pond...they swim right up to you when they see you looking down at them...the kids thought it was really cool!

I have been busy photographing HS Seniors and Family sessions, escaping the heat by playing in the pool with my family, dealing with my crashing computer...which is now officially a very big paper weight, getting ready for back to school and enjoying a few fun family events too! August has flown by!<div><br /></div><div>I am now up and running with a pretty new Mac!!! YIPEE!! You gotta love the Apple Store...walk in pick out a computer and walk out with a new computer in your hands in under 3 hours! I am now getting everything back in order and recreating lost files that I failed to back-up (yes I learned a tough lesson and will continue to learn this for many, many months). Luckily, I was at least smart enough to back up all of my past & present images on the External HD...so no worries there! Thank goodness :) </div><div><br /></div><div>So I will show you what I have been doing for the past few weeks...Here we go! </div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07893098423343660544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046187000747226282.post-27823436197744830192010-08-06T04:06:00.000-07:002010-08-06T04:24:58.517-07:00Summer Days<div>Well at least it didn't rain, right? The few days prior to the "N" Family session the weather man was predicting thunderstorms. Well thankfully he was wrong! The day of their session was sunny, beautiful & HOT! It is summer, I know, but it was sweaty, sticky, nothing can cool you off hot! But the "N" Family did awesome :) The kids were fantastic and the entire family worked together to get as many smiles from Teddy as possible (sometimes that can be hard with a 3 year old you know :) Little did I know that I should have brought out my "secret word" way earlier in their session...mom said Teddy would have laughed the loudest! </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few of my favorites from your session!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TFvs3VluL5I/AAAAAAAAAhY/z8A6T_nmFZ0/s1600/231Nylander-008blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TFvs3VluL5I/AAAAAAAAAhY/z8A6T_nmFZ0/s320/231Nylander-008blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502251805195513746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TFvs20vbi0I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/-TG6aj0RKY0/s1600/231Nylander-020blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNolEHOwIzc/TFvs20vbi0I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/-TG6aj0RKY0/s320/231Nylander-020blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502251796377865026" /></a>Thanks so much for smiling through the summer heat!

(Funny..no matter how old I get I will always call parents I have known since I was a kid Mr. & Mrs :)</div><div><br /></div><div>What a great occasion to celebrate! All of the kids and grandkids were visiting here in Michigan for their 50 year wedding anniversary! Since you have families that live in Michigan, Illinois and Texas obviously you do not get everyone together but maybe once or twice a year if you are lucky. So this was a good time for everyone!</div><div><br /></div><div>I have known this family since I was a teenager so it was an honor to help document such a wonderful event!

Kayla you are awesome! We started our session at the studio and captured some incredible images! The "wind hair" are some of my favorites! Since we had plans to go outside as well and the weather was not cooperating we moved up Kayla's session to the morning to avoid the pending rain in the afternoon. Well... things were all crazy and it rained her entire outdoor session and within seconds of finishing outside (oh yeah we photographed in the rain...and Kayla just went for it!) the rain stopped. Go figure!

The bride also happens to be my cousin...so needless to say this was a very fun session. They were game for anything and even had to smile through an army of hungry mosquitos!! They were total troupers! We "played" at MSU for a little while & wandered around to a few fun spots and even found this fun barn off the beaten path. Very cool! </div><div><br /></div><div>The primary goal was to capture an image to use on their Save the Date cards. Well we captured SO many great images...here are just a few of my favorites!
