Looking at Mary in these images, and let me tell you I have many more of her, I can't help but think...."I could have shot her ALL day!!" She was more than radiant, she *SHINED* (hence the song). Bryan looked amazing as well. I could bet that even if he tried he couldn't stop smiling...a true sign of being completely happy!! Here is the slideshow...alot of pictures to be shown in a song so if you want to see any of the images separatly just use the menu below the frame.

2008-06-19T15:29:00.004-05:00

That is I went to The Secret Workshop this past weekend and had a blast. Not only was Cheryl Muhr wild and crazy, but with over 30 models to shoot and having the studio instruction given by THE ONE AND ONLY Brianna Graham...well, life was practically wonderful! Here is a slideshow of a small number of photos I took.......

Guest Sign-In Book for my wedding couples

2008-05-08T13:39:00.002-05:00

I wanted to have pics of my Guest Sign-in books and being a bit of a goof-ball I took my son's Flip video player and I made a little movie on it. I LOVE this book, it is elegant and useful all in one. The linen pages are thick and writting messages on them are easy! My brides love these and they pretty much get most of the images we take for their engagement session too!! Enjoy!

Happy Couple + Harleys = GREAT PICS

2008-05-07T11:37:00.008-05:00

This was just a blast...walking downtown expecting to have the place to ourselves since it was 9am Sunday morning but NOPE!! It was Harley Fest!! Yep..the loud roaring, black leather and metal mix of people. Actually it was a group called HMT (Harley Ministry of Truth) gathering and I totally didn't know. Well, the bride-to-be is amazing as well as her fiance and they LOVED it! She joked that she was thinking of having her ride up to the church on one. Well----we had beautiful weather, saw and met wonderful people, took a tour of a new loft apartment in the alley (thanks Jon and Mr. Hoffman) and well, just another day of shooting in my book.

This past weekend....

2008-04-30T08:46:00.004-05:00

Ryan and Corena were married. Not only was she incredibly beautiful but he was just as handsome. I wanted to load just a few that I looked at .... the flowergirl had amazing eyes and the ringbearer was adorable!

Baby....oh Baby!!

2008-04-30T08:39:00.004-05:00

This lil' guy is such a cutie not too mention he is a lil brother to a red-headed beauty! Squishy, soft, sleepy...oh, I love sleepy and that is the rationale behind shooting newborns the first week of life; this is a very sleepy time for them. It allows alot of manipulating and posing without the crying. I LOVE newborns...I have three kids of my own and still every now and then I think wouldn't it be great to have another little one; but after a session and I get my fill of the smell and softness of the newborns and the {crying} I think to myself "Three is enough"!

Textures & Swirls & Bellies....OH MY!!!

2008-04-23T23:56:00.004-05:00

Obviously the first is without the added texture and the second has the texture. This is just a fun effect that is very hip and upcoming in the world of photoshopping and photography. It is used alot with Senior sessions...but hey...someday this lil one in the oven will be a senior. We just start them out younger these days!

HELP....she swallowed a soccer ball!

2008-04-15T13:40:00.004-05:00

But she couldn't look anymore beautiful...truely! Perfect miracle brewing!

Tunta ....... That is aunt in norwegian....

2008-04-15T13:31:00.004-05:00

and I am finally a Tunta!!!!! I had a great opportunity to wisk out to Washington to meet my lil nephew and spend a few days with him. I was even given the best honor of being his first babysitter. He is just as sweet, soft, 'baby' smellin....and really just an amazing baby. He is really good at eating and pooping. Now...here he is...Ean Scott Viik

Corena & Ryan.....braving the cold!!

2008-03-24T12:46:00.007-05:00

.....and it WAS COLD!! This Michigan weather is ridiculous!! If I had a three wished I may be completely tempted to splurg and ask for warmer weather. Aren't you too needing a bit of a warm up here (those of you that are from another state...and esp those that live in warmer states you are exempt to answer!!)? BUT---through it all Corena and Ryan were complete troopers not to mention no whining at all about the weather...and look at how sexy she looks...'between the teeth chattering'. They are the first wedding of mine this year and I look forward to starting the season with a BANG!!

I LOVED IT!!! Now....when he is up and walking that is when the REAL fun is....I really will perfect my run and shoot method! Here is few images to peek at....

Fenton 2008 EXPO

2008-03-10T14:02:00.008-05:00

This year I joined the Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce and with that I decided to be in their expo. Alot of business's were there and alot of people came through. I talked with many, many area people of all ages...young and old and even some lil babies! I gave out special bags with fortune cookies in them that held VERY special discounts and most everyone couldn't love more the booth that my husband made for me (I couldn't agree more with that as well!!!) Here is some pics of the booth and the lovely pictures I had so proudly displayed! Maybe some of my clients will see some of their images up.....if you want to come take a better look-see of these images come to my office...I am proudly displaying them here as well until the new studio is up.
