Don't you wish you were here? (Cleveland Children's Photographer)

Happy Monday!  Don't you wish you were here.  I just want to jump into this picture and run into the lake. I would even take just the baby pool and umbrella.  I can't say I will be one of those mom's one day that packs a baby pool in my beach bag.  By the time I hear the words, " We are going to the beach,"  I am out the door.  If only I got ready that fast all of the time.

What are we up to?... PACKING....and not for vacation.

WE ARE MOVING! Don't panic, not far.  Just around the corner to Tremont!  So next time you visit to order pictures or just say hi, maybe we will stop and get a cupcake at the shop around the corner from our new place and walk a block to the park!

Very excited...just not about packing. 

Fresh...Fresh..Fresh (Holland, MI Photographer)

Welcome to the Holland, MI farmers market.  You can find the freshness you are looking for from organically grown vegetables to sweet savory all natural jams, jumbo cookies, to the possibility of buying a grass fed cow!

The best part, SAMPLES!!! That is all natural chocolate cherry fudge...MMm! 

Props to my little sister for the yellow flowers photo below!! Only one lesson and she is a pro!

And after we purchased everything healthy...we went to Froggy's for a hot dog. Ha!

It's a new kinda session (Cleveland, OH Children's Photographer)

Aahhh!  I am so excited to share this new photoshoot with you.  What is it?...Naturally Creative= it's an art lesson +photoshoot combined!!!!!  Check it out...

  a piece of clay can become a pizza-delivering great horned owl
an ancient painted mask can give the powers to create crispy cream doughnut stores on every corner
a self-portrait and a few words can begin the dream to become…an anthropologist

So let's create the perfect Recipe!!

The Art Lesson 
As a certified art teacher, I will handpick an art lesson for your child or children.  The lesson is always educational and bursting full of opportunities to use the imagination and be creative. Is it messy? No not always, but if you are up for flying paint it can be arranged.  Supplies and Clean-up are included!

The Photo Shoot  
After a story and time of instruction, I will then move into the role of a photographer capturing the story of your child as the creator.  Included: A secure online gallery of images, a print credit to get you started, and if you wish, a blog post and Facebook album.

Host a Naturally Creative Party!

Invite other moms.  Leave your children to me and catch up on life.

25 cent lemonade and brownies (Holland, MI Photographer)

My Dad and I were walking to the neighborhood pool when my Dad noticed these little girls across the lawn.  He reached into his pockets looking for change. Empty.  He said we had to go back to the house.   While he grabbed some change I grabbed my camera.  How cute are these two?!

My dad asked for a brownie and 2 cups of lemonade.  One little girl replied, "alright, but I am not going to give you this brownie.  I by accident sprayed it with perfume."

The lemonade was DELICIOUS! The brownie no idea.  I looked for it and only found chocolate on my dad's face.

Coming home to Big Red (Holland, MI Family Photographer)

The sand feels so good between your toes. It is softer than any other beach I have experienced from the East to the West Coast and down to the tropical islands.  It makes a funny squeak as you walk towards the water.  Coming back to this beach is in a sense coming home. 

It was just a minutes drive away.  We all went to watch the fireworks over top of Big Red, the famous Holland lighthouse. 

Waiting for dusk and the show to begin.

Renee, my sister-in-law, picked up my camera and snapped this photo.  I LOVE IT! I think my brother is reprimanding me over a round of Egyptian Ratscrew.  

I love being with family.

Camping in the Mountains (Ohio Family Photographer)

It was literally a roller coaster of mountains to get to our camp site deep in the heart of Pennsylvania.  We tented at 11:00 pm and awoke just steps from a beautiful lake-front view surrounded by mountains.  Did I take a pic?  Whoops! We hiked through the mountains which semi-defeated us as we detoured from the trail tired and really sweaty.  Pic? Nope.  I know what a photographer I am. 

I did catch this...Katie found a bubble wand in our Jeep!

Yup that's right we grilled pizza over a campfire! We camped at a primitive site, I mean you had to pump water out of a spicket and walk/ fall down a hill to the hole in the ground potty. When it came to food though, we ate in style.  Omelets and pastries ( cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins, strawberry bread mmmmm) for breakfast with sides of sausage and Pork Roll (never heard of it? It is the most amazing breakfast meat, but it's only made on the East Coast).  Just your classic PB&J, bagels (only authentically made on East Coast) and cream cheese.  Then there was dinner.  We had southwestern salad, spanish rice, and BBQ chicken hot of the fire.  Oh and pizza too.

Bpop was a little tired by the end of the trip.

We all were.

and then the real adventure started....the ride home.
