5 things that made me happy this week – Oakland County Child Photographer

5 things that made me happy this week

1. The zoo.  This week my kids and I went to the zoo.  We wanted to go one last time before our yearly pass expired, and even though it rained the 1st 1/2 of our day, we enjoyed ourselves.  Taking my kids to do something fun makes me happy

2. Dinner with my mom.  This week I went out for dinner with my mom.  We ate Mexican food, and talked.  Spending time with my mom makes me happy.  Especially if there is yummy food involved…

3. Spending time with my sister, and her family.  This week we saw my sister’s family twice.  First we had a play-date at my sister’s house, and then I babysat her 4 little ones for her.  It’s fun to watch the kids run around and play.  It remind me of being younger, and running around with my cousins.  Family that lives close by makes me happy

4. My daughter.  She says some of the silliest things, and makes lots of wonderful expressions.  It’s hard not to smile, and laugh when she’s around.  Not being the only female in my house makes me happy

5. Chocolate ice-cream with peanut butter swirls.  Oh how I could end every day with chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  My scale wouldn’t like it, but other than that I’m pretty sure that it would make me incredibly happy

What made you happy this week?

I hope that your weekend has been filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

Little Mr. J – Michigan Child Photographer

Children seldom misquote.  In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said.  ~Author Unknown

It’s still hard to believe that Little Mr. J is one!  I have been photographing this little guy since he was in his Mommy’s belly, and it has been wonderful to watch him grow into an adorable little walker.

Thank you for filling the world with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love Little Mr. J!

Miss C – Florida Commercial and Child Photographer

Here is the lovely red head Miss C, another beautiful person that graced my camera lens while I was in Florida.

May your day be filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

Taking The Day Off – Detroit Michigan Infant Photographer

If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all. ~Pearl S. Buck

It seems like every day comes filled with a million and one things to do. 

Because of that, so many of us find it an everyday occurrence to tell our children, ”Wait a minute” while we are on the phone, or, “As soon as I’m done” when we are writing out bills. 

So, I have decided to dedicate today to my little ones.  Today they will not hear, “Let me finish folding the laundry”, or “I’ll be done in 5 minutes.” 

I am going to sit back, and give them my full attention.  Because after all, the world won’t stop just because I did… 

 

I hope that your day is filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

The K Family – Jacksonville Florida Family Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing the wonderful K family while I was in Florida. 

They were such a fun, beautiful family, and I am honored to have been able to capture them through my camera. 

It was so nice to meet you K family, may you all continue to be filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

I’ve Returned – Michigan Family Photographer

I am happy to announce that after a wonderful, relaxing vacation I have returned from Florida! 

On my vacation I learned that the airport has a religious/meditation room, I learned that Florida has some pretty big spiders, I learned that it is common to have lizards climbing up your sliding glass door, I learned that Zaxby’s chicken is yummy, I learned that some areas have strange feeling grass, I learned that it burns when you get ocean water in your eyes, I learned that I missed my aunt and uncle’s family more than I had realized, and I saw the most beautiful mossy trees, I saw my first marsh, and I saw sinks in the handicapped stalls.  So I guess it’s true, you really do learn something new everyday!

Since I wouldn’t want to blog without a photo, her are two lovely sisters for you.  And don’t worry, Florida photos will grace my blog at some point

I hope that everyone’s week has been filled with as much sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love as mine was!

Slide share of the G family – Michigan Family Photographer

I leave for the airport in about 5 minutes, but before I go I wanted to share this slide share from my rainy day with the adorable G family!

I hope that all of you have a wonderful week filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!  And that my plane lands safely in Florida

A Sneak Peek Before I Leave – Linden Michigan Child Photographer

I’m leaving for Florida early Friday morning, but I promised the Mommies of these lovely children a sneak peek before I head out. 

I hope that these tide them over until I return, and finish up their galleries

On a side note, all e-mails and phone calls will be returned after I get home on Wednesday.

I hope that your weekend is filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.  ~Phyllis Diller

I hope that your day is filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!

5 Things That Made Me Happy This Week – Detroit Michigan Photographer

5 Things That Made Me Happy This Week

1. Karaoke nights.  This week I had two karaoke nights.  One with my wonderful boys, and the other with a wonderful friend of mine, and her family.  Holding a microphone, and rocking out to myself and others makes me happy

2. Solving household issues.  While my husband was gone in Colorado this week I had to solve some of the “manly” household jobs, that would typically be reserved for him.  I had to plunge the toilet, and get a part of the vacuum unstuck.  While I am proud of myself, I certainly hope that I don’t have to do anymore daddy jobs when he leaves again.  Doing something that I typically don’t do, and succeeding made me happy

3. The Tigers game.  This week I took my mom, and my son’s to a Tiger’s baseball game.  We had an awesome parking spot, amazing seats, and lots of snacks.  The Tigers lost the game, but we got to meet Ryan Perry, a pitcher for the Tigers, and he signed the boys baseball gloves, and posed for a picture with them!  Sports stars that are kind enough to take a few moments for their fans make me happy

4. My husband coming home.  This week my husband came home from Colorado, and that of course made me happy

5. Witnessing the amazing talent of Rebecca Rosen.  This week I went with my mom, my sister, and the mother and sister’s of my brother’s girlfriend that was killed in a car accident last year to see a medium named Rebecca Rosen.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it sounded interesting, so I went.  I have to say, there was no way to walk out of that room without believing in her.  I was so happy for the family of my brother’s girlfriend, and I can only say that it was a life changing event for them.  It was nothing short of amazing.  Witnessing what I witnessed that night made me happy

What made you happy this week?

Here are a few photos from the Tigers game taken with my point and shoot.

I hope that your week is filled with sunshine, lollipops, happiness, and love!
