This little one at 6 months old already loves the camera!  What a ham…She was such a good girl and gave me lots of giggles and smiles.  I couldn’t wait to share one of my natural light favorites!  Kinley and her mom traveled all the way from Manistee to have her portrait done by me.  That sure feels good!  Thank you Amanda for choosing me to photograph this special age for you and Kinley!

God blessed us with the most AWESOME winter day! It was cold but so beautiful with snow everywhere. It was 19 degrees but calm and partly sunny…the trees were heavy from the snowfall and WOW…the most beautiful natural backdrop ever! I was honored to be a part of this day photographing the wedding of Mr. Christopher Burden and Miss Amber Hallack. The location was the beautiful “Double JJ Ranch” in Rothbury, Michigan. The ceremony was held at “The Sundance” with the reception in “The Dance Hall” at “The Back Forty Ranch” Transportation for the wedding party was provided by two very strong creatures, Bonnie and Clyde. They pulled the wagon through the snow covered trails. It was a great day with lots of fun and excitement! Thank you Chris and Amber for giving me the treasue of being part of your perfect day!

I am a Professional Photographer

This is from a photographer in Ohio.
“I am a photographer…

I can use a hammer but it doesn’t make me a builder.
I can use a thread and needle but it doesn’t make me a seamstress.
I am able to take a pulse but it doesn’t make me a doctor.
I am able to listen but it doesn’t make me a psychologist.
I own scissors but it doesn’t make me a hairdresser.
I can help my kids with their homework but it doesn’t make me a teacher.
I can make my family dinner but it doesn’t make me a chef.
I can wrap an ankle but it doesn’t make me a athletic trainer.

Just because you own a camera, that doesn’t make you a photographer.
You can take a snapshot outside but you don’t understand lighting.
You can try and pose someone but find it’s harder than it looks.
You take hundreds of “pictures” only to get one or two good ones.
You own Photoshop but can only use it to fix your mistakes.

We live in the greatest country in the world… America. Everyone has the right to
own their own business and everyone is in control of their own destiny. However,
do not call yourself a photographer, or open a photography business, if you do
not understand light control, posing, retouching, image enhancement, customer
service, business laws, or your equipment. Using the “P” setting on the camera
does not mean “professional”. Photographing your subject outdoors on vintage
furniture does not make it cool. Lens flare, out of focus images, and blown out
highlights does not make it art.

Our studio receives calls daily of regret…. regret that they went to a “photographer” to save a few dollars. I am
saddened by the people who say, “I wish I would have went to a real professional studio and now its too late.

I can manipulate light, I am a photographer.
I can create sets and backgrounds, I am a photographer.
I understand color harmony, I am a photographer.
I can pose someone in flattering ways, I am a photographer.
I am able to use my manual settings on my camera, I am a photographer.
I can see lighting outside, I am a photographer.
I can use Photoshop to enhance my images, I am a photographer.
I own a camera and I really am a Professional Photographer.

Colleen Gonsar”

Kicking off my senior sessions…Here’s Brianna – Edgy, cool and different, at least for this small town rural photographer. With Brianna we started at the beach then we drove into Grand Rapids. We were blessed with the best weather and it was an awesome day. Cool stuff eveywhere! Wow, I wish I could go there every day. We basically just parked the car and walked…lots of laughs and lots of fun!  Overall it was great day! Thank you Becky and Brianna for trusting me with these treasured images!

It’s funny, I go to the beaches all the time and walk by many houses.  I often think about who might live in these beautiful lakefront places.  Well this day, I got to meet one of these families.  It’s pretty fun, now I know who owns one of my favorite houses at Pentwater Beach!  What great beach day and perfect for a family session.  Here’s a peak of this wonderful family.  Even the little ones smiled…

 This is the second year in a row I have photographed these three little beauties…They grew a little and got a lot silly! We had blast at Charles Mears State Park in Pentwater Michigan. The weather was hot so we got in the water and had a wet sand fight. They had a blast and I captured it all.
