bobbie is the only daughter in her family, and when she was four, her mom, kim, had a photo shoot of the two of them together. this fall bobbie headed off to her first year of college – what better time for another mother-daughter photo shoot:) enjoy!

chad & jenny {married september 4}

on a blustery september day, chad and jenny tied the knot at the st. mary’s church in charlevoix! you may remember this couple from early this year in their winter engagement photos (click here to view) at the charlevoix lighthouse pier. the reception took place at the emmet county fair grounds, and the wedding party was transported from place to place in a cute little trolly:) god bless you in your marriage, chad and jenny! it was certainly a pleasure working with you!

the above photo was taken before the ceremony; i just wanted to show how big the waves were that day!! they were still this wild when we came back to the pier for wedding party photos later that day!!

the second location was the exact spot where chad proposed to jenny! in decent weather you can actually see all of lake charlevoix!

stop #3 was at knot just a bar in bay harbor. washington apples around!

last stop – emmet county fair grounds for the reception:)

this is, i think, the third time this pretty young lady has been seen on the blog this year! emily, aka miss charlevoix venetian queen 2010, is a charlevoix high school senior! this little lady has a wonderful personality – outgoing, fun, and very laid back – and i had a great time photographing her! enjoy senior year, emily, it goes by so fast! and god bless you in your future! (i’m sure i’ll be seeing you around town:))

oohhh, it never gets old:)

when mallory’s mom called to schedule her senior portraits, i almost couldn’t believe her! i used to babysit mallory back in the day, but this little hunny has grown up!! i had a lot of fun spending time with mallory again. special thanks to drost landscape for allowing us to use one of their beautiful locations for these photos! view pictures of the amazing landscape by clicking here :) enjoy senior year, mallory!!

a few days after this shoot, mallory and i got back together to take a few pictures by the charlevoix lighthouse

fidler family

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:05:43 +0000

last year over fourth of july weekend, i photographed the fidler family, and when rhona emailed me about photographing more fidler’s, i couldn’t resist! this ‘reunion’ had such a beautiful story behind it! (i’ll do my best to remember it exactly…:)) when the fidler kids were little, mr. and mrs. fidler would bring them to charlevoix during the summer, so for their 60th wedding anniversary, the kids surprised the parents with a family weekend in charlevoix! and for a family that lives all across the united states, this get together was especially special! i had so much fun working with the extended fidler family! we shared a lot of laughs and a beautiful walk down the charlevoix pier! mr. fidler actually reminded me a lot of my own grandfather :) enjoy these photos! they hold many precious memories!!

me: “look at each other!” mr. fidler: “oh hello there! boy you’re cute!”

josh and hannah were married may 22nd at the castle farms in charlevoix. they didn’t get a chance to do engagement photos before hand, so they decided to do a newlywed shoot last week to make up for it – what a great idea! i had a great time working with josh and hannah again :) enjoy the married life, you two!
