Introduciing Miss Mollie Erdman...Whitehall High School, Class of 2010. What a great session! Mollie has the most beautiful blue eyes and the cutest smile. It was hard to pick just 3 images for my blog. Can't wait to get her finished to see what she picks!

Family Vacation!

This was a nice family session I did in Pentwater. The family was coming together for the 50th wedding anniversary of the parents and wanted to document the celebration! It was great day with lot's of bright sunshine.

This is just FUNNY!

Sometimes I have days like this...but this is the REAL reason dinosours are extinct.

Halloween Studio Promotion

I did my first ever holiday promotion at the studio. I was very pleased with the turnout and flow of traffic in the studio. I even had a cute high school couple down for a quick shot because it was their one year anniversary:) These are just few I had permission to share. Looking forward to a Christmas promotion as well. Thank you everyone who came down for hot cider, a treat, and a picture!

Haleigh - Senior Portraits

This is the first of my videos for the Class of 2010. I hope you enjoy it. Haleigh came with her mom who is just as sweet as Haleigh! We went to Pentwater Beach and it was pretty busy. It was difficult getting images without any people in the background. Thank you Haleigh and Sheri for trusting me!

Jodi - Senior Portraits

Another sweetheart from Shelby. You can find Jodi on the basketball court pretty much year round. She plays for the varsity team but her talents do not end there. Jodi can also dance, sing and act. She played Sandra Dee in our school theater presentation of "Grease" last year. She was AWESOME! For her session she brought along her mom and her cute and always funny little sister. We had a pretty good time and laughed alot. I am honored you chose me to do your senior pictures. Thank you Jodi and Kim!

Jessica - Senior Portraits

Meet Jessica...a wonderful young lady that I have known a few years. She plays varsity volleyball and softball at Shelby High School. She is also a very talented singer and actress. She had a lead role in "Grease" last fall and WOWED everyone. Her mom came along and we had a blast doing her session and lots of laughs. Jessica is pretty tough...she layed right down in Lake Michigan and it was very COLD! Thank you Kris and Jessica for trusting me for your senior portraits!

Grace - Senior Portraits

Grace found me from the website. She lives in Kalamazoo area but comes to Silverlake every summer for vacation. We had a blast at the lake and the dunes. I even got to ride in a boat! It was a pretty warm and very bright day but she was a trooper!

Aubrey - Senior Portraits

Here are a few of my favorites from Aubrey's session. We went to the lake and we were blessed with the most beautiful sunset! However, it was an interesting session...Audrey's mom had to dicipline some kids who were trying to hit us with water balloons while we were on the bridge!

Rebecca - Senior Portraits

Rebecca invited me out to the family farm for her portrait session. What a cool place it was. She is very pretty and we got some AWESOME captures. I love the bibs and tractor! Thanks Rebecca for trusting me to do your session.

Heber Springs, Arkansas

Having a great time in Heber Springs! Went to a cool spot and captured this image. This dam is a historical site. It was the location of the last public appearance of John F. Kennedy before his death.

I love this! Mirror images can be quite interesting. I took about 30 pictures of this spot trying to get the exact capture of water and land. It was quite difficult waiting for the breeze to die down so the water would be smooth.

Michael - Senior Portraits

This is Michael my first guy of the Class of 2010. He had some connections at Mac Woods Dune Rides and we were able to go to some private spots on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was beautiful and quiet! I put his dad to work holding a reflector and he did a pretty good job! It was a pretty fun and unique session. Thank you Micheal and Chuck!

Alex - Senior Portraits

This ia Alex my neighbor. She is a real sweetie and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow into a pretty young lady. We went out to her grandma's house for her outdoor session. It was nice and quiet at Lake Michigan at 8:00 the morning. We had a great time! Thank you Alex and Katie for trusting me to do these portraits!

Brittany - Senior Portraits

Brittany is the first of my 2010 Seniors. She was also the winner of the Shelby High School Post Prom Senior Picture Package! Congratulations! We went to Muskegon for an Urban Session. It was 99 degrees out but she was a trooper. When I said "work it baby..." she did! We had a lot of fun. I even tried some of my new lighting I learned in Nashville last fall! Believe it or not these images were shot in full sun! Cool huh? We still need to do her studio session and I have some awesome things planned.

Samantha - Senior Portraits

This is another sweetie that had a session last fall. We went to Lake Michigan for her portrait session. It was a very windy day but still managed to get it done. Samantha wants to go to collage to study art. I wish her the best! Thank you to Barb and Samantha for choosing Kristy Roberts Photography.

In Memory of Daniel Earl Hasty, D.D.S.

Today I celebrate the life of a man who touched my life greatly. Dr. Hasty...He died last Saturday at the young age of 62. Today is his funeral. He was loved by so many people and lived his life right. By right I mean...he walked the talk...he lived for Jesus. Everything he did, he did to glorify God. For me this was big...I worked for him for 5 years and he was joyful, caring, consistant, wise, a leader, a teacher, respectful, loving, prayerful, enthusiastic, and generous. He was a mentor and role model...I will miss Dr. Hasty and our special talks about life...I start a new chapter in my life with wonder of what God has planned and will continue to pray for his wife and children. When I was a little girl my grandma used to sing this song..."I'd Rather Have Jesus". I dedicate this song to Dr. Hasty as it truly describes him and what his life was like.

Hart High School Prom

Prom season is here and I LOVE PROM! Here are the images from Hart Prom which was held on April 25th at the Best Western Pentwater Trace Inn & Suites. They also had a pretty cool DJ named David Walley from Good Music DJ. From what I could tell it looked like the kids had a great time and everyone looked FABOULOUS! A big thank you to Hart High School, Mrs. Hackett and Haley from the prom committee for having me back!

Brittany - Senior Portraits

Well I have to say Brittany is quite a character and fun! We have a history, as I have done her sisters senior portraits as well as a great family session. Brittany is the second of five girls! She is sweet, giggly and full of life. I enjoyed hanging out with Brittany and her mom! Thanks you guys for choosing me again!

Kelsey - Senior Portraits

This senior session was by far my most unique session of the senior class. I had never done horses before so this was a new challenge. I learned that Kelsey is quite talented with guitar and is an airplane pilot. I was so impressed to hear this coming from such a young girl. Kelsey will definitly make all her dreams come true! Thank you for choosing me for your portraits!

Sheila - Senior Portraits

Sheila's session was extra special as it was attended by her dad instead of the usual mom or girlfriend. We had a great time out at the lake and it was a beautiful evening. I wish her all the best with her future. Thank you Sheila!

David & Lynnea - Wedding

David & Lynnea are a great couple with a sweet love story. Their wedding day started out rainy but later the sun came out perfectly and we got some great shots at Ludington Harbour where the Badger comes in. The water front was special because of David's connection with the Marines. It was a wonderful day and I wish them a long life of happiness. Thank you for choosing Kristy Roberts Photography!

Double JJ Ranch

Near our house is a wonderful place called Double JJ Ranch. Year round this ranch has been a big part of our lives with 8 years of memories for our family. Our kids have been growing up on the ranch with many friends including staff. Double JJ has many activities including a weekly rodeo, live stunt shows, horse shows, the Gold Rush Indoor Water Park, outdoor swimming pool, outdoor waterslide, arts & crafts, snow dog farm, snow dog winter races, petting farm, horsback riding, The Thoroughbred Golf Course, winter tube hill, camping and several places to eat. Last summer we were told the ranch was bankrupt and our membership would come to an end. I actually cried at the loss of future memories for our family. With the economy in Michigan it was looking pretty grim as far as finding a buyer for Double JJ well, it was announced this week there is an offer to buy our beloved place. This is great news! I look forward to a hopeful re-opening Memorial Day Weekend!
