Mayz

We did our first photo shoot with Mayz this evening, so I just wanted to post a few of our favorites:

Here’s one of mama and Mayz snuggling together

Here are a few photos of him just minutes after birth:

It’s baby time!!

Well, this morning Cheridy’s water broke, so we’re currently in the hospital and waiting for this show to get on the road!!
This morning her contractions were very even at about 5-6 minutes apart, but now (9 hours later), they’re very uneven and coming from 30 seconds apart to 10 minutes apart and some are lasting 30 seconds and others are lasting 5 minutes. It’s very weird. Either way, the doc makes it sound like we’re going to be here for a long time. Right now, we’re just passing the time. We spent the first few hours coming up with baby names, then visiting with my parents, then sleeping a bit, then watching tv.
We have a really nice room with a nice view over a golf course. Cheridy has a great adjustable bed which she can move around to get into different positions to help her stay comfortable. There is also a couch and few comfy chairs, so we really have a nice room which is great. There is even wireless internet in the room which is fantastic!
So far, her contractions haven’t been painful which is good, but at this point, I think it might be better just to get it over with.

Here’s Cheridy feeling pretty good:

High School Senior Photography – Jake

Today, we did some photos of Jake. He has a bit of a melancholy personality which was best shown off with serious expressions which he did really well.
We really enjoyed our shoot with him because he was very different than most of the kids we work with. Jake’s been through some tough things and he’s working through some difficult issues.
He told me it was ok to share this with everyone which I’m really glad because it’s rare to meet someone who’s going through a conscious battle that he knows isn’t over yet. Jake carries two bandannas, a black one to represent the darkness and struggles, and a red bandanna (shown in the last photo) to be his personal symbol for hope and the future and it was a real blessing for us to be able to get a photo of him holding that.

Engagement Session in Sterling Heights – Dave and Karlynn

This afternoon we did an engagement photo shoot for Dave and Karlynn. Some of my favorites were when Karlynn laughed and we were able to catch a really fun moment.
