At the end of October, we were able to take some fall family pictures for the Tsamaidis family, and we ended up having just as much fun as they did! They won one of our gift certificates at a silent auction event, but it turns out that it’s a small world – and their son plays football with the Mukherjee boys! So not only were we able to take some amazing family pictures, but we were able to take some fun football pictures of their son as well. This family was so sweet, and their kids were just perfect to photograph, it’s like we were in another world. Their outfits were perfect for autumn, and don’t get us started on the sisters in the matching red boots – we loved it! We seriously had such a great experience all around with this family, and I think when you take a look at their pictures, you’ll be able to see why!

First of all, how much do you love this picture of their son in his football gear?! For a 9 year old, that’s pretty intimidating.

Here’s one of all the siblings together, and it’s easy to see why they love it so much. See what we mean about the red shoes? PERFECT.

Ugh, this family is just too perfect. Thank you, Tsamaidis Family, for allowing us to photograph your family. We hope to work with you again in the future!

This fall we had the pleasure of taking amazing fall family portraits with the Gedert family.  The Gedert family are long time friends and clients.  We were so excited to be able to work with this beautiful family again.  They are just so wonderful to be around.  The fall colors on our farm studio really set the stage for some amazing fall family portraits.  Not only are they as sweet as can be, but the camera really loves this family.  They all chose nice fall outfits, and it really gave this session a warm and cozy feel.  Great choices Gedert family!

Who wouldn’t love to photograph these cuties!

We also had the pleasure of meeting the newest addition to this wonderful family.  He just melts your heart!  So adorable!

It was such a pleasure to work with you again, Gedert family!  Thank you so much for choosing us to capture these amazing family portraits.  We hope we will be able to work with you again soon!

This summer we had the pleasure of taking beautiful Orion family photography for the Swanson family.  This family was funny and charming, and a blast to work with!  This family was the amazing winner of one of our gift certificates, which were donated for auction at the 9th Annual Charlotte’s Wings Benefit.  It’s so amazing to be able to help a great cause, and take amazing family portraits at the same time.  We couldn’t have been happier to meet and photograph the Swanson’s!

The Swanson girl’s were so much fun.  They are bright, funny, and absolutely lovely young ladies!  Family photography is always better when you add gorgeous kids in the mix, and we were lucky enough to get to photograph 3 of them!

We were even fortunate enough to be able to capture a group shot of the girl’s with their long time nanny!  You can tell she’s a huge part of the Swanson family.

We couldn’t get enough of this family, and hope to be able to work with them again!  Thank you so much to the Swanson family for letting us capture some amazing family portraits, and for supporting a great cause!

Yesterday we had the privilege of photographing Izzy and her family. We’ve known this family since 2004 when we photographed their wedding and we’ve also done portraits of their family multiple times. Yesterday, Cheridy and I photographed their family again but the circumstances are not as joyful as the past few times we’ve worked with them. Izzy was born with a congenital heart defect and she has now reached the end of where science and medicine can help her so she is home on hospice care. This is every parents worst nightmare. When we went to photograph at the house yesterday, it looked like we might have to do the whole photo shoot in Izzy’s bedroom because she wasn’t up for getting out of bed yesterday. However, with some coaxing from her dad, she made it out and was feeling up to a photo shoot. She then turned on the charm! One of her favorite things is writing so we got a photo of her doing what she loves. When we looked to see what she was writing she wrote “Getting my pictures taken. I’m a star!” That’s so awesome!! Their family is doing a fundraiser for the Children’s Heart Foundation of Michigan called ice cream for Izzy. When you have ice cream with your family, please consider putting in some extra money into a jar and then donate your collection on Saturday August 6th. Here is the info: Take the pledge today to think of Izzy and all of the kids (and adults) who were born with CHD each time you eat ice cream this summer. Then donate a quarter, a nickel, a dollar, ten dollars for each frozen treat. Keep a jar in your kitchen or keep a tally (ice cream stickers are a fun way to track). Izzy’s Ice Cream Challenge officially runs this year from Saturday, June 4 through Saturday, August 6, 2016. The event culminates at Izzy’s Ice Cream Social on Saturday, August 6, 2016 (details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1047741958650078/). You can bring your money to the social or mail it the Children’s Heart Foundation-Michigan Chapter, PO Box 1808, Troy, MI 48099 by that day, or donate at the provided link http://weblink.donorperfect.com/2016Izzysicecream. For every $40 raised, Izzy’s Ice Cream Challenge will send you an Izzy-designed car magnet and button that says: I ate ice cream for Izzy! Funding CHD research. All proceeds go to the Children’s Heart Foundation-Michigan Chapter.’

A special thank you to this wonderful and loving family.  Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
