Been Awhile!

It's been quite awhile since I've posted! My friend Teri came over from California and we were able to do a session with her! Love her style and I think she captured the girls wonderfully! Here are a few of our favorites! It was fun to be in front of the camera with Dave and the girls!

Mackinac Island

I shot a wedding in Harbor Springs on September 8th, so Dave and the girls came along! They love staying in hotels and there was a huge hot tub that they got to swim in and then saw fireworks right outside the room window on Saturday night!

On Sunday we headed north to Mackinac Island for the afternoon. The girls liked it, but we're glad we only spent a few hours there. Maybe next year will be better for them! Here are some shots of the girls throwing rocks into the water and of course the bridge and some cool flowers we saw. Dave took the one of me! :)

NEW HOUSE!

Hello family & friends! :) We are set to close on our new house on Friday @ 2pm (was Thursday and got changed!) and then plan on moving over the weekend. We're so excited to be in a place of our own! The girls are excited too! Here is a picture of the outside. I'll post more once we're in and get some painting done!

Petoskey

I drove to Petoskey last weekend by myself to shoot a wedding. I had some free time and got to explore some of the area. I'm hoping that next summer Dave and I can visit again! The sky was amazing and there were quite a few trees already changing colors. I'm hoping to see more color when were up in Harbor Springs this weekend for another wedding!

First day of 4 yr. old preschool!

Today was Grace's first day of 4 year old preschool! Her class is right next to her 3 year old preschool class from last year. She was a little shy at first, but had no problem staying. She had a wonderful time - even though outside time was cut a little short because it was sprinkling. She wanted me to also take a picture of her smelling her "flower". :)

@ the Mattila's

Most of the family was together on Sunday the 2nd for Labor Day at Grandma Mattila's house. And what a full house it was! We did a cousin's picture and then the Grand kids and Great-Grandkids with Grandma (mine didn't turn out! ha!)! What fun! Of course we have to have shots of Owen and Egan (held by Lindsay). Kaylee and Emma had fun coloring in the little house Great-Grandpa made when the "original" cousin's were younger. :)

First day of school!

Tuesday was Kaylee's first day of kindergarten! She was so excited! Nana bought her a backpack and lunch bag - tinkerbell! Isn't she beautiful?
