The Jackson 5

These dudes are pretty cool. Brooke, the oldest of the five siblings, is being deployed to Iraq in about a month. She wanted to get photos with her two sisters and two brothers before she left. I was honored to be the chosen photographer!
Here's a snippet of our session last Thursday...more to come! I'm working as fast as I can, Brooke! :-)

Rachael - Senior 2011 (sneak peak!!)

Rachael is the drum major for Greenville High School, planning to attend MSU and study medicine (yeah, just slightly more brainy than me!). She was WAY too cute behind the camera. I'm having trouble deciding which pics are best! I know she's been dying to see some of her pics, so I thought I'd wet her whistle. ;-)
In the meantime, I'm having fun working on these pics...more to come later!

Claire - Class of 2011

I've been dying to do this senior session for about four years. That's about how long I've known Claire, a senior at Central Montcalm. She's horse-crazying, fun-loving, beautiful and one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. If anyone wonders if waking up early to catch "first light" is worth it, hopefully the first few of these photos will convince you.

Senior 2011 - Stephanie

Have I mentioned that I LOVE shooting people with their animals? Especially horses? And when the people in the picture are just as cute as their animals, it makes my job pretty easy...
Meet Stephanie, a 2011 senior from Central Montcalm. I've watched Steph grow up from a young 4-Her to (WOW!) graduation. I can't believe how fast time flies. Here's a few of my favorite shots from the proof book Steph will be receiving shortly.

Holden - 15 months

Remember this handsome fella? I took his pictures when he was just a few weeks old, and again with his family when he was six months. Well, we had all intentions of taking his photos at a year old, but you know how busy a summer can get. Between his momma's schedule and planning my wedding (oh, I forgot to tell you! I'm Jessica BEERY now!), we couldn't find a time that would work for both of us until the WEEK before the wedding! Whew!
There were supposed to be several family pictures, but Holden had other ideas...we were quick to grab some when we could!
Here's a few of my favorites. I'll post the link to the complete gallery soon...what a cutie!

Family Photo Time

The Rasmussens contacted me about a month ago to shoot some updated family photos and we were finally able to match our busy schedules to get them taken a couple weeks ago. Jesse (the oldest son, wearing blue) left to join the military shortly after these family photos were taken. The very best of wishes for you, Jesse!!! Thank you for your service to our country.

Thanks again, you guys, for allowing me to be part of one of your precious last days together!!!

New Senior Gallery

Gerrit's complete gallery is up and ready to be unveiled to the admiring public!!!
I hope he loves the photos as much as I loved taking them...what an awesome senior! Thanks again, Gerrit and Robin! :-)
