SOOOOOOO darling! I love 4 things in life: 1) my family 2) my DH 3) photography and 4) things that are matchy matchy (did I just make up a word?)  Okay so those are not the only 4 things, there many more… BUT I really love it when families match to a “T” It could be because of my minor OCD. ?

Here is an example of one of my loves…

How awesome is Carters??? He cracks me up!!! I could listen to him talk for a whole day.
Thank you for standing the cold & breezy weather! Good idea on the blankets. haha I hope you enjoy the photos. I always enjoy time with your whole family!

Shoots with Elizabeth are ALWAYS a blast! She is always up for anything and understands my creativity and brings a boat load of her own too! Thank you for always inviting me to take pictures of the milestones in your families life. I truly enjoy your company and our talks and of course the fact that you let me hang out with your munchkin (and I do mean munchkin haha) while we are taking breaks! I adore her as well!!

I hope enjoy these pictures as much I as enjoyed taking them.

I had to make these pictures just stand alone because they are SOOOOOOO cute! Well of course they wouldn’t be SOOOOOOOOO cute if it wasn’t for the children in them! I had so much fun with your giggly daughter and busy body son.

Such a beautiful family! Thank you so much for the fun time!!!

Also, thank you for being okay with me using the kiddies as lil models sometime. I will be sure to take you up on that and I think you might regret saying yes haha

Let’s talk about clothes that I love!!! But not for adults..atleast not today.
Here are just a few ideas on clothes that are GREAT to during this blustery time and even more importantly, to wear for pictures.

These are just some ideas. The clothes are made by Nikki Kule at Kule. So awesome!!!

And I mean TINY! She wasn’t even 5lb’s yet when I took these photos just last Friday. WOW! She came a bit earlier than mommy and daddy had expected - 6 weeks early to be exact - but of course mommy and daddy were thrilled to see her sweet little face!

Thank you so much for including me in this very special time in your life. Baby *A* is SO beautiful and what a blessed child to have parents like you two.

Enjoy - Melinda Ann

What a doll Aiden is!!! Even though it was freezing out he was happy as could be!

Thank you so much for letting me and Don enjoy such a beautiful, but very cold, time with your family. Thank you for putting up with the weather and I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day.  We haven’t really visited Petoskey much but plan to more now that we know all it has to offer.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
