Hardhats are NOT an accessory, thank you

No hardhats to be found in our closets...though they would have come in handy today! We are making GREAT progress at the new Bridgeport location!! ("we" meaning the boys mostly lol). The walls are up, the drywall is being hung and the color pallet is picked!! We are ecstatic about the final design and layout!! Our camera room...oh our camera room ladies and gentlemen is going to be.....drumroll please...approx. 720 square feet. That's a good size addition to what we currently have in Bridgeport AND we even have adjacent space that we will be able to move our lighting into to utilize photographically as well! Of course we made time to take some snapshots of the work in progress...enjoy =)

Karri and Justin

May is such a beautiful month in Michigan...and sometimes Mother Nature likes to be unpredictable this time of year, so we crossed our fingers for Karri and Justin's big day and it must have worked! There were a few tiny raindrops just before the ceremony and then it cleared up just in time for the festivities and ended up being a perfect day in May for a perfect couple so in love!! The ceremony was at the beautiful chapel at Apple Mountain in Freeland. Karri looked stunning and had us all with watery eyed!! Justin was a handsome groom and kept us all laughing and made sure everyone was enjoying the day... especially his bride. The two have one of those obvious loves for each other...the kind that you just want to put in a bottle and show the world....so cute! Here are a few portraits of their big day of "I do's". Congratulations and many happy years to the adorable couple!

(pardon the order of the images, for some reason the blog has a mind of its own this evening...so we shall start with a couple fun post-ceremony ones and work our way backwards) =)

A Celebration of Moms...

Hope everyone had an amazing mother's day! Moms are so many things in life...they are heroes, role models, cooks, cleaners, friends, shoulder-to-cry-ons, band-aid masters, magic-makers, dream believers, secret keepers...the list goes on! Thanks to all of the moms who make the world go round! This of course goes also for Step-moms, Mother-in-laws and Grandmothers...and never forget Aunts, God-mothers, Step-mothers and all unofficial but deserving Moms!! We love to celebrate Moms and here are just a few of the portrait sessions that made us happy to capture a moment between mother and child! (There is another round of sessions, and many more portraits to come...keep an eye out!)
