Trip To Florida :)

it was crappy weather, but for this guy it wasn't because of all the wind he was able to go out an wind surf on the water.

This is where we stayed/ where my dad lives. Very nice location and we get to see beautiful sunrises :)

I know i could not believe it either those are manatee's that i got a picture of......The reason why they were so close to shore was because it was a really cold day in florida and they need warmer water to survive. I was so excited. We sat and watched them for about two hours :) Kind of stinkers to get pictures of though :) in the picture above i blew up on my computer and it looks like it is two of them kissing :) Love it!!!

My husband I

My dad was shocked that my camera could get him in mid jump ( lol.....if you want to call it a jump)

My cute parents :)

It was a great weekend to get away from everything and enjoy sometime with my parents and my husband. I am really thankful for all that i am given :) Didn't do anything really awesome but just hung out and spent good family time :)

Cody's Senior Photo's

Cody came out to Milham park one evening to get his senior photo's and brought his wonderful family along and we got a couple family shots also.....They were a great family to work with and really laid back :) I really hope that they enjoy there photo's :)

Family Time at the Orchard :)

This weekend we spent moving......After the move we had a bonfire and i took my camera to see how it would turn out and loved the result. Then saturday my brother was home and we went out to do our yearly outing to the apple orchard :) I love those afternoons.

Lars Turns 1!

I know i can't believe it either. The little guy that I took photo's for earlier this year. He has turned 1 now. They say it goes by fast when you have kids, but what about when you dont have kids.....lol..... Well here is a few photo's that i took at my mother -inlaws for his birthday :)

Tackett/England Family Photos

I don't think we could have asked for a better fall day to do family photos. Becky and her beautiful family met me at a really nice park in battle creek to get some family photo's before her son Ian leaves for Basic Training. Wonderful family and we all had lots of laughs :)

Hohler Kids

My brother inlaw asked me to taked a few photo's of his kids because he didn't want to pay for school photo's this year and not be sure that they will turn out. These kids are so darn cute to me! I love them all dearly :)

Annalin's Senior Photo's

It was so nice spending the afternoon with Annalin and her mom taking photo's I think Annalin's personality was awsome and showed through in her photo's :)

This is my dear cousin and her fiance'. We went to Hubers Winery where they often go to hang out. Had a lot of fun shooting this shoot....love you both :)

Samantha Senior of 2011!!

I had so much with this shoot! I met Samantha, her mom Becky and her best friend Megan for a shoot for her senior photo's.....I think it made it so much fun because she has such a laid back personality and seemed to really enjoy it her self. Her mom and megan were able to make her laugh which made for some really fun pictures :) I really hope they had just as much fun, and enjoy the photo's :) Thanks Girls :)

Matt and Aiden

I had the wonderful oppurtunity to meet Matt and Aiden on Thursday evening.As you can tell from above they are two very cute people. I loved the challange of this shoot, three year olds on the run makes things very entertaining. Thanks guys :)

Beauty of Nature :)

This is my dog Cooper....isnt he a good looking dog?

I went out and enjoyed the last couple of days in this beautiful weather. I am so greatful for these couple of days that I got to enjoy. I went out to a couple of parks in the kalamazoo area and took some pictures. I got to see a lot of baby animals, swans, deer,and horse. I hope that you guys enjoy and will see you soon. Melissa
