the schram family
When I got to the Schram house, I was amazed to find that Lydia (age 2.5) was talking up a storm – more than any child I have ever met at that age! I had a great time hanging out with her while we waited for baby Anna to wake up. Anna has just as much personality as Lydia already – such big smiles and laughs!
the obenchain family
The Obenchain family photos took us to the trail and barn area of the Matthai Botanical Gardens. The Obenchains have two darling kids (5 and 2) and even though we missed the fall colors by a week or so, the trails were great for photos.
the klenke family
It was such a pleasure to finally meet the Klenke family – one of the greatest things about photography is finally putting a name with a face after lots of emails! The family just announced also that a new baby brother or sister will be joining little Abby in April – so exciting!
the gritter family
We took Emma’s newborn pictures this summer, and we were so excited to document how much she has grown in the last 4 months! She was so easy to take pictures of – she just tracked the camera the whole time. We also got this photoshoot in on just about the last nice fall day.
the dorset family
We had a great time with the Dorset family in the Arb – their kids are awesome!! David works with Wendy and they had never been to the Arb before, so we thought we would try it out. I loved the spunk of both kids, which I think shows through in the photos!
the eastons
It has been such weird weather in Michigan lately, so no surprise that the perfect fall day for photos came at the end of September. Curtis Park in Saline was beautiful, and so are the Eastons, so it was a great day!
fall with the odoms
We cannot believe how much the Odom girls grow each time we are with them! Lucy and Julia are some of our favorite kids (even if sometimes we are not necessarily their favorite people as you can see in one of these photos!), and we love documenting them throughout the years. The Odoms have a beautiful new home and we enjoyed playing in their awesome backyard to get some updated fall photos.
gisa goose
My favorite part about this photoshoot was the way Anya could get Gisa to smile everytime by singing her a song she had sang to her every day since she was born! We took these photos at Kensington Park and it was an awesome place to shoot – great family, great location, great baby! Anya really likes Instagram photos also, so David took some of those as we shot – we’ve posted some of them at the end!

the macdonells!
Coming back from a vacation is never fun – but photographing families like the MacDonells when we return makes it a bit better 
We spent some time with their three boys before school started – can’t believe it’s already the fall!
mike, erin and trey, plus one
We have had a great three years having lots of fun with the Penns (since we live 1.86 miles away and all). We decided to update Trey’s 6 month photos, and to also document Erin’s pregnancy – they are having a little girl near the end of September! We took some photos in their yard (which was also updated due to America’s Most Desperate Landscape!), and then went to downtown Dexter’s cute new park.
