Mandy Summer Sessions {Connie Mosier Studio}

I just LOVE sessions when we can mix some studio time and outdoor time especially in the summer.  I also love to work with this lady and it was nice to get her back in front of my camera again.  She's always been so comfortable in front of my camera and her portraits show how relaxed and confident she is.  I've been photographing Mandy for years, she's  gone through many transitions in her life through my camera and it was time for a new session. 

We started in the studio with some great outfits and accessories.  My new white futon was the perfect compliment to Mandy choice of clothing.  Then we moved outside to one of my favorite summer spots before the sun set to take advantage of the beautiful light late in the day.  The last hour or two before the sun sets is the "golden hour" and offers the most flattering light and some great opportunities to back light and rim light with the occasional sun flair.  Thanks Mandy I really enjoyed our session!

Summer Portraits {Beverly Hills Michigan}

It's so nice to finally get outside for some summer shots and I couldn't resist taking a few quick portraits of these two cute kids a few weekends ago while I was visiting.  They are the greatest in front of the camera and always willing to try anything for me.  I just loved miss Riley's colorful dress, it really fits her fun personality.  Her Mother said it's Baxter & Beatrice from CWD Kids.

Luke Age 3 {Connie Mosier Studio Kids}

Luke's Birthday Session 

What a wonderful young man!  

I usually have to do all the entertaining with little ones but, Luke kept me entertained the entire session!  Luke's mom had lots of great ideas planned for his birthday session!  Since this session was all about Luke she brought his favorites toys, books, a teddy bear, his Michigan hat and a birthday cake with balloons. As you can see by his photos, I think Luke enjoyed his little play date and birthday party at the studio.  Luke also helped announce the new twins that will be joining the family in September, congratulations Dan & Katie!!

Baby Ethan {Connie Mosier Studio Babies}

Baby Ethan 14 Days Old

I'm in love with this cute little guy!!!  This was a long session but I am so happy with the results and I'm especially amazed at how content Ethan was during the whole process.  We used Mommy, Daddy's and sister Brynn's stuffed animals for a great shot with lots of meaning, and the crocheted Santa hat that was made just for Ethan was just adorable!  I love the portrait with Santa and the opportunity to finally be able to use my beautiful Santa suit.  Congratulations and welcome to the newest member of the family.  

I will post a link to the session when the proofs are posted to be sure to check back. 

The Twins - 2 Years Old {Connie Mosier Studio}

The twins turned two and it was time for their new pictures.  I have been photographing these two since they were born, actually 'before' they were born with Mom's maternity session!  As most of you know, two year olds have a mind of their own and these two are no different.  I think I captured a bit of their personality and all the antics that go along with trying to capture two little ones that never sit still.  Always so much to do for this age ......and the camera just slows them down!  Happy birthday Jack & Elizabeth and I look forward to capturing many more years with you two!  Oh, and I just love the little behind the scenes shot with 'Grammy' . . .  just precious!

The Sauter Family {Beverly Hills}

After many rain delays we final got the absolutely perfect day for the Sauter family session!  In fact it was the last session I was able to do before the cold temps and rains moved in and the fall leaves were gone.  This session was important to Mom and Dad to capture the children before braces and attitudes.  Louie the labradoodle had as much fun as the kids!

Thanks Andrew for choosing me for your senior pictures I really enjoyed our session.  Proofs will be on the website soon so check back for a link!
