My favorite little man Finn

For my birthday this year I got to spend the day with my favorite new person, Finn. I have been waiting for a long time to take his pictures. This past winter his momma Lindsey, my best friend, called and asked me if I was interested in taking pictures in the fall of her little baby!!! Of course I was super excited and finally 9 months later I finally got the opportunity. He already is like a little man and it cracks me up. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday, especially when he fell asleep on my chest while watching MSU football, what a great day :) Can't wait for Finn to meet his new best girlfriend, only a couple more months!! Love you!! Aunt Gen
























I know Lindsey and Casey are going to be awesome parents!! How cute are they?!?!

















Of course Rocky needed to get into the pictures.

Christmas Certificate Special

Sienna Christmas Session

While I was visiting my sister in the Detroit area last week, I took some time to take pictures of little Sienna. Sienna is the hilarious daughter of Holly, my sister's best friend. Really I should say she is my sister's best girlfriend. She calls my sister, "My Shannon", and when I asked her if she was "My Shannon" (being my sister in all), she got very mad and said "No!! She was hers". :) Sienna will be two in February, but you would think the girl was four by how much she talks. Everything she says is hilarious and she remembers everything. If she wasn't laughing during the session she was eating a cookie or a sucker, and oh does this girl love her cookies. Just say the word cookie and she jumps up and down and starts clapping her hands together and laughs and says, cookie, cookie, cookie. How can you say No to that!

I think this was one of my most favorite kids sessions. I couldn't stop laughing while I was editing the pictures, I love her face when she laughs and all of her expressions, they are just too cute!! When I left their house she gave me a big hug and a kiss and told me that she loved me!!! This girl really knows how to get to your heart. I can't wait for the next time I get to hang out with her. I just hope my little girl is as cute and funny as Sienna is. Thanks Sienna and Holly for an awesome morning, I had a great time!!






I love this series of pictures. How cute is she when she laughs!!





I just had to get a picture with her cookie

Lexi and Megan Quick Peak

Thought I would share a few pictures that I took this past Sunday before I take off for Detroit for a few days.

The first is little Lexi, a sassy almost 3-year old. She is the daughter of an old co-worker of mine and after hearing so much about her from her mom Tammy, I couldn't wait to meet her! She is absolutely adorable and there are many more great pictures to come.




My second shoot of the day was with Megan. Megan and Bill got married a few months ago and I thought it would be fun to do a bridal shoot with her. I meet Megan earlier this spring when I tagged along on their engagement session with their wedding photographer Phrene. Megan was so much fun to work with and is a dream to photograph, I mean look at how gorgeous she is!! More on Megan soon too!!

The Hindenach Family

The other weekend I meet the Hindenach family at John Ball Park for a quick family session. Nicole and I have been friends since high school and I love any opportunity I have to see her kids. Nicole only wanted to get one picture, a family picture, after that it was fair game. Luke, Oliver and Sophia kept me moving the whole time, they are fast and don't sit still for long.
Thanks for asking me to shoot your family again. Can't wait to meet your new addition, the new puppy!!



This is Oliver and his fabulous smile. He is very smart and creative. Nicole told me a story about how he climbed on top of her dresser and then jumped onto the curtains like a cat and slide down them. Apparently he thought he was a fireman and the curtains were his fireman pole! How cute is that!!


Meet Luke, a spitting image of his dad Shane.


And Sophia and her big brown eyes. She wasn't really into getting her picture taken, all she wanted to do was play on the slides. Can't blame the poor girl.





And the family picture.





Shane and Nicole














Oli can jump really high!

Kati & Chris Married!

Earlier last month was the beautiful wedding of Kati & Chris. Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Townsend Park in Cannonsburg at the adorable stone open shelter. Just like the weeding the week before, the rain drops were coming down, but once again it stopped in time for pictures. After getting pictures in the park we all loaded up on the bus and headed downtown to take more pictures of Kati & Chris. Their reception was held at a very cool loft space downtown called Mosaic Space, a perfect location to end a fabulous day. I had so much fun with Kati and Chris, they are a great couple that kept me laughing all day. Thank you for a great day and congratulations!!


Kati is another very talented bride who made her own bouquets! Seriously awesome bridesmaids bouquet.


Kati found her dress just a few months before the wedding!! A beautiful choice that really showed off her features, especially those arms!! I am sooo jealous.





The bride's side, her brothers stood in as bridesmen








Kati's mom hung mason jars with candles in the front area for the ceremony, which gave a romantic feeling to the ceremony.


Kati and her dad have a very special bond and I love this group of pictures and how he is making sure she looks perfect before she walks down the aisle.





The sides of the covered patio drops off about 5 feet. Not easy to get a shot when you are only 5'4. Luckily there were some rocks to balance on to get a few shots of the ceremony.











Love, love, love this picture


Kati's beautiful bouquet


See what I mean about her arms!! You are amazing girl!








Kati and Chris closed on their new house the day before their wedding! So of course we had to stop by and get a picture. I hope you are enjoying your new house!






Gorgeous!!











A little bling, bling. I love the setting of her ring.








This just happened to be written on a wall outside of the reception! You can't get much more lucky than that!














Kati's dad made all of the cupcake stands! A very talented family





The cupcakes were very yummy... so yummy that the guy in the back looks like he can't decide :)















Thank you again Kati & Chris. I wish you both tons of happiness and love!
