Truly an adorable child…such a sweet boy and he can keep you on your toes!  Thanks for allowing me to photograph him and thank you for your patience.   Enjoy what is left of the summer!

Michigan baby photographer-

What a precious baby girl.  So sweet and such a great baby.  Enjoy the sneak peek.

But sound aloud the praises, and give the victor-crown
To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger’s frown.
~Frederic G.W. Fenn, “Ode to our Firemen,” 1878

What a fantastic afternoon and evening.  One couldn’t ask for a better group of friends .  Fun was definitely had by all.  From the waterball, redneck hayride, great food, volleyball, bon-fire and Harley rides ( okay, that was my fun…thanks Lenny for allowing me to use your helmet and to your friends for making me smile) ….Val and John you throw one heck of a party!  Thank you for sharing your  day and for welcoming me into your home and barn!

One thing about being a photographer is that we can sit back and reflect after looking at a photo.  It’s what we do.  We see more than a snapshot …we see a moment that holds a story.  These photos caught me off guard.   So many of us appreciate what firefighters, police and paramedics do heroically and many times without thanks.  I look at these next two photos and realize how heroic they actually are.  A father and his teenage son (who is also a firefighter) and a father and his baby girl.   They risk their life everyday for us….and at home they have a family just like you and I.  Never once stopping to think I could be taken away from that family….they just do it.  Pretty amazing.
