Hello. We have been on vacation and we had so much fun!! Now that we are back, I am eager to get out and shoot (btw, I wish there was a better term for taking pictures other than shooting kids. It just doesn't sound right.) Anyway, I am running a couple specials right now. Details below.

Special #2: I am offering free maternity photo shoot with a purchase of a newborn shoot. My reason for doing this is that I want to update my maternity portfolio. Here are the details:

Lastly, I know that you have seen a lot of my kiddos on the blog lately, but sometimes I can't help but share. Here a a few images from a session I did with my kids while we were on vacation. I think I can say that it is one of my favorite sessions with them to date!! Super fun!!

Love those kids to pieces!! xo, Moi

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | Child Photographer | Ann Arbor, Michigan

I follow many photog blogs and forums and I Heart Faces is one of them. "I Heart Faces" has weekly photo challenges and I thought I would enter this week since the title was "friendship". My entry is below.

I did a session with Grace and my niece, Reese at the Arb while the peonies were still in bloom. They had a sweet little tea party. :)

I Heart Faces - Photography Challenges and Photo Tutorials

My kiddos | Children Photography | Northern Michigan

My entire inspiration comes from these next few little people in my world and their connection to life, me, their dad, their grandparents, their great-grandparents, and their friends. My heart melts and explodes all at the same time when I am with them, think about them and look at them. I love them with every inch of my being. Without further a do....my kiddos in the most beautiful place on earth, Rabbit Bay, Michigan:

Yep, I love them! And can't wait to meet baby #2.

PS. Stay tuned for a shoot that I am going to share of my kiddos plus a shoot that I had before vacation.

Littlest Hero | Child Photographer | Ann Arbor, Michigan

I recently had a session with a family that I met through Inspiration through Art. This family and this little boy touched my heart in so many ways. I was so impressed by this little guy's strength and spirit and was in awe of this mother's and family's strength to support him in every way that they can. This little hero that you are about to meet, inspired me in so many ways.

His story: William was born on July 21, 2009 at 9:52pm. Mom wasn't feeling as much fetal movement as normal, so they called the doctor and she sent them to the hospital. They did an emergency c-section and delivered a 3lb. 13oz., 16 inch long baby boy who was in respiratory distress. They had no clue the sadness they would feel when they had to leave the hospital without their baby, the sadness that comes with seeing their baby hooked up to tubes and wires, the sadness one feels not being able to hold their baby because he's so sick that the stimulation from his own parents touch does more harm than that good. They had no clue that for the first week they would only be able to enter their child's hospital room wearing gowns and gloves and how well versed they would become in all of the medical terminology that you hear in the NICU and that medical terminology would become their life. During their 4 weeks in the NICU they were told that William has an intraventricular hemorrhage and also periventricular leukomalacia, both are fancy words for damage to their baby's brain.

William was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was a year old. He has cortical visual impairment, so he is now legally blind. This month, William received a g-tube to help him eat, as he is unable to eat enough to gain weight which makes him failure to thrive.

On a positive note, William is happy. H-A-P-P-Y! He doesn't know that he is different, he enjoys doing therapy 5 days a week and loves his family. Those are things that they know are most important in his life.
