the cree family
Hold on to yourselves for the most gorgeous family and their newest addition, who by the way is also gorgeous. Tiny, but gorgeous!


She was exactly 1 week old on the day of the shoot. Deliciousness.



Hands had to be by her face at all times. And if they didn’t start out that way, you can bet they ended up there.
Love all the blondies.




All the kids and mom and dad are enamored of their newest little girl. Only just a little…



Not only a gorgeous family, but so fun too! I was a happy photographer!

Travelled out to Fire Island for this fabulous shoot. And I know Mom is waiting for me to say that this was my first and last Fire Island shoot due to the long trip, break in shooting, and walking hiking all over Kismet in the sand. But, I would love to do it again! It was so nice there and we got some awesome stuff.



The ferry schedule wasn’t exactly condusive to the times I wanted to be there for the best lighting for the beach shoot, so when I arrived we snapped a bunch in their house where the light was juuuussst right. Then since it was way too early for a beach shoot, I went and had a really nice lunch all by myself (and with the Kindle) and met back up with the family in enough time to get the rest of the shoot done.


How much of a cutie pie is this little guy. His mom and dad couldn’t possibly adore him more. Well, maybe if he slept thru the night!!






We were all over the place in Kismet- the dock, the wagons, the lighthouse and surrounding area, the beach, back to the dock. All in a day’s work!





Thank you all for such a spectacular day and shoot! To see all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

beyrer baseball trip- part 5 (michigan friends + a mini session)
So glad we included Michigan on this trip so we could see our good friends (and Jack & Patrick’s BEST friend) who moved there 6 years ago. It’s so great seeing them fall immediately back into the groove of being friends within seconds of arriving.


They treated us to a nice (real food/nonbaseball park) meal for dinner (thank you!), the boys played some backyard baseball, Timmy and Katie played together, and the kids all watched A Christmas Story before bed.


The next day they took us over to their pool for a swim. The pool was great and all the boys had a blast. The slide was definitely a favorite (even though Timmy dosen’t look like he’s enjoying it, he did!) From there we went to the Tigers game (pictures on that in tommorrow’s post).






We even squished in a very mini-session for Maureen’s good friend and neighbor and her gorgeous kids. I didn’t have my favorite lenses with me, so the pictures aren’t quite up to the usual standards, sorry. But I hope you like the few that I got, J. The baby’s hair sticks straight up, no matter what they do with it. Too cute!! To view all of the images, please click HERE.






Timmy and Katie slept in her room on the floor in sleeping bags, while all the boys (Connor & Spencer, Jack & Patrick) slept on the bunk beds and aerobeds in Spencer’s room. John and I took over Connor’s room (thanks, dude!). Everyone was up waaaaay late- adults included. But you gotta get in the visit and laughs while you can!
Detroit Tigers game coming up next…

the beyr kids
(ok, guess it’s probably not really a secret what the last name of this family actually is!).

These gorgeous kids are John’s cousin’s kids. I am so happy my cousin-in-law follows my blog and even happier she asked me to take some pictures of her kids! It’s always fun to see them, and I got to meet one of mom’s sisters (there are about 50 sisters I think- I can’t keep them all straight) who I adored right away.
They met me down at Pt. Lookout (thanks again, T) and we got a great evening with fantastic light. And two kids with incredible eyes.






Stunning, no?

Oh, they are in such trouble with Mr. GB. He works it well!

See, told you I got a bunch! No worries.





Looking forward to seeing them all again today for the annual family bbq/baseball game (which is known as the fishing trip although there is no longer fishing involved). Hope for no rain!

I’m certain that most of you will recognize “Mr. Mark” from the pictures that follow. For those of you that don’t, he’s the owner of Rockville Camera- where I live when I’m not home in front of the computer. Some people go to bars to relax and unwind- I go to the camera store.



“Mrs. Mark” asked me to take some family pictures for them before their son went back to college. I was more than happy to oblige.







My favorite series. Someone didn’t like not being the center of attention…


The cutest dog ever. She was just about as interested in the photoshoot as Mr. Mark and his son. But she was so cute and they love her like crazy.



Think this may have been the point where I told J that I think his parents love the dog more…

Thanks for the fun, lern family. See you at the store.
