A Spring Day in Michigan: the Bubble Adventures

bubbles: spring in michigan


Of course I love Spring! The flowers start growing, my daughter has a birthday, the birds are singing. Ah the fresh breeze I've missed all winter. Spring is a friendly reminder that summer is on its way and walks in the park and going swimming are just around the corner! Even though its not super warm yet, we've ventured outside and I've captured some beautiful images of my daughter Bella!


Want to spice up your photoshoot of you kids? Here is a little tip: Props! Simple solution. I decided bubbles were the perfect prop for this photoshoot! Check it out!

First I got some photos of her cheesing for the camera! She is such a goofball!

Then we started with the bubbles. The cool thing about these photos (aside from the bubbly awesomeness) is the fact that the fire from the bonfire was blowing right behind her making the background soft and luminous! Beautiful!

This is by far one of my favorite photoshoots of my daughter, I need to start printing more! I'm sooooo bad at actually printing my own personal work!

Noah & Francesca

Lucky me!!! I had the chance to photograph the kids of someone I have known basically all my life!!!
Growing up I was best friends with Heather's sister Ashley, we did everything together. I haven't seen either of them in a looong time so I was really excited when Heather asked me to photograph her kids. I got to take photos of Noah, her son, in front of the lake across the street from my house. Its so peaceful out there, like a little oasis. Then we went inside and got some cute photos of her daughter Francesca. Now isn't that the cutest name ever? She has the biggest, prettiest eyes!!! I love all of her cute little outfits. It makes me miss my little girl being a baby.

traditional albanian attire from 100 years ago


Noah's Father is Albanian and this outfit is the traditional attire from over 100 years ago. It is made of wool. They lived in the hills where it was cold. I love the little hat, too bad we couldn't get him to wear it!

Francesca


Now isn't this little girl such a cutie? Omg I just love how vintage her first outfit looks!!! And she has the biggest/prettiest eyes. 

























Noah did not want any more pictures. He just wanted to play. So I snuck some lifestyle pictures of him playing cars! :)
















Yes I am adorable: be jealous!
