A Walk on the Beach

They drove over twelve hours to return to the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan for a reunion and share this special time of their lives with family.  Natasha was photographed on this beach since she herself was a baby…many wonderful memories took place here...camping nearby with cousins, celebrating her grandmas surprise birthday party, and even her graduation photos were taken on this beach.  The sound of the waves and the warmth on the sand is irresistible.  Andrew and Natasha love the water…she was a diver in high school, a life guard too and they choose to be married near the water so it’s only natural that this stage of their lives should be …a walk on the beach!

Waiting...

“No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you.  After all, you’re the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside”.  
I love this quote but regret to say that I don't know who the author is. These beautiful words represent so perfectly how I and so many women feel about the life they have carried inside of them.   I hope you enjoy the baby bump and five day old newborn images.  Thank you to Courtney and Mike for the privilege of documenting this special time in their lives!

Sweetness of a 3 month old

…discovering their hands…curling their toes…blowing bubbles.  The folds of their skin…their gaze…the way they try to talk and sing…everything is adorable and image worthy.  Yes, I am a wedding photographer who adores babies, children, adults, grandma's and grandpa's so when my brides and groom's start their families I embrace the opportunity to see them again and document this new season of their lives!
