This wonderful family from my children’s school won a session and gift certificate from the school auction this year and put it to good use right away! Aren’t they a beautiful family? Their daughter dressed in her 1st communion dress was ALL SMILES , simply angelic. As you can see I had a few tricks [...]


This great looking and joyous family met up with me at the University of Michigan Art Museum yesterday as the day was cold, wet and windy. They had won a family session last year when they attended a silent auction for Youth-Works Detroit (link at the bottom of this post). It’s an organization that’s dear to their [...]


Over the last almost 5 years I’ve had the honor of photographing adoptive families. I’ve met such wonderful people with hearts so open and ready to love. If you know of someone in my area that’s recently adopted (must be in the last 12 months) send them this post – or to my website. All recently adoptive [...]


When I saw this template I was pretty excited about getting this project done for my kiddos! These cool chore charts are being printed as I type – by my professional photo lab onto A WHITE BOARD complete with marker and magnetic strips. I’m excited about implementing the chart into family life. Isn’t it neat? [...]


Capturing a 6-8 month old is one of my favorite stages! The cute little baby is usually Very Eager to smile and smile for the camera and while they sit up, they don’t usually crawl away! It’s such a fun stage and I was honored that this beautiful family asked me to capture this particular [...]


I just LOVE this family. You might remember them from a maternity session early this fall. Well the seasons have changed and along came this beautiful new life, a sweet baby boy! They braved 40 degree temperatures for a few shots outside today, what troopers! Leave them some Blog Love Melanie  


You might remember me mentioning an organization I belong to called Celebrating Adoption. It’s allowed me to photograph some awesome families. This family (below) is no exception. We had a great time (albeit a tad chilly!) downtown Ann Arbor capturing their ‘oh-so-cute-couldn’t-stand-it’ son and some adorable family photos. Congratulations, newly united family! What a gift!

This sweet family welcomed me into their home. Their son was born prematurely at 32 weeks this past summer. But as you can see from these glowing pictures their prayers were answered. Baby is doing so well, chubby and sweet and such a great cuddly baby for photos! These photos were done thanks to baby’s [...]


You can feel it. The breeze in the air, cooler temperatures, warm sun, color bursts out of every corner – the reds, oranges, yellows – so bright and vibrant. Something about it makes you put on some comfy jeans and sweater and be together as a family. And in the world of photos it’s that [...]


These two adorable boys really make me smile. Not only do they have gorgeous smiles and beautiful blue eyes, but they’re sooo cooperative! Enjoy the preview! Melanie
