Leaves are Falling on the Ground...

"Leaves are falling all around, on the roof tops, on the ground..."

I was so glad there were a few fall leaves left for this family session, 

and even more glad that it was a super nice day!  

If you're still wanting to book a session, make sure you do it soon!  I'm not scheduling anything after December 1, 2011!  

Simple Sessions for Laurel Photography

At the end of August, I started working with Laurel.  It's been such a rewarding experience!  Here's a sneak peek from one of my Simple Sessions for Laurel Photography.  Thanks Laurel!!

80 degrees, beautiful colors surrounding us, crunchy leaves...  Happy Fall!

Aren't these two sister's beautiful!

Photo Session at Lightning Speed!

I didn't get to have a whole lot of time with this darling family, but that didn't stop us from getting some awesome shots!

Orchard

My favorite Orchard/Cider Mill opened last weekend! My sweet little Rosie Cheeks was the only one who would get in front of the camera for me. I was a bit bummed that my oldest wouldn't pose for me, but what can you do? This will be my third year entering their photo contest. The first year I entered, I took 2nd place and won free donuts and cider and a pumpkin. Lets see if I can get 1st place this year!

On a little side note, my September simple sessions, with Laurel Photography, are almost filled up! Hurry fast if you want to squeeze one in! Check her here for dates and details!

Apples in Michigan...

It's apple pickin time in Michigan!  So, naturally I had to add a cute bushel basket and some apples!  The little cuties had to taste each one...literally...they took a taste of each one! 

Don't forget to check out what we're offering this season!  Perfect for back-to-school, update photos, or holiday cards! It's all HERE!

Exciting News!

August has always been a month of change for me, and this August is DEFINITELY no exception! Laurel and I have been working on something for the last couple weeks, and I'm excited to say...

Laurel Photography and Left in August Photography will be teaming up to offer quality portraits at affordable prices! So, if you need back to school photos, updated photos, holiday cards, or gifts, now is the time to do it! Go HERE for details!

S Family #2

We had to put it off a couple days due to bad weather, but it was well worth the wait!

P.S. Come back tomorrow for some exciting news!

S Family

We met this cute family while we were at grad school. It was super nice to catch up and see those cute little girls! Aren't they just adorable?!

**On another note...I'm reformatting my blog. So, pardon the mess while we redecorate!**

Smile Like You Mean It...

I found this the other day on my cell phone of all places! I took it this past summer and somehow it got lost. I'm so glad I found it. I love that beautiful genuine smile I get from my little AVJ! Go to I Heart Faces to check out more smiles...

The Two Love Birds

Just look at these two cute little love birds! And I thought the animals didn't get twitter pated till Spring time! Look at her skin! Not a blemish in site! She's like a little porcelain doll! I'm so jealous! Anyway, my awesome mommy took these with a point and shoot...yeah...she's got skills! The groom and bride to be (little bro and future sis-in-law) let me edit these for them.

Congrats you two!!

My Tiny Dancer

My tiny dancer was supposed to have a fun holiday party for her dance class, but it was cancelled due to this BLASTED weather! Snow and ice EVERYWHERE! I spent a good 2 hours making cute little hair clips for her present to give(she has one of them in her hair...isn't it just the cutest!). Good thing they are still having the party when we come back in January! Anyway, she was all dressed up with nowhere to go, so I whipped out the camera and did a photo shoot in the dining room. She was so happy! Awe...isn't she sweet?

J and Momma

Awe...this little girl was so sweet! Her mommy is one of my good friends in Utah and I was sooo happy she let me take some pictures of her little angel! I want another one for myself!
