Cody - Senior Portraits

Cody was one of my more challenging sessions. He is about 6'5" and I am 5'4". I had to use my ladder for all of his shots. Cody attends Shelby High School and is one of our star athletes. He plays football, basketball and baseball. I am really excited for him as he has signed on at Ferris State University to play football. This is a big deal for our small town. "Congratulations and I wish you the best at Ferris!" Thank you Cody and Monica for trusting me.

2010 Mrs. Asparagus Queen Candidate #3

Introducing Asparagus Queen Candidate, Jessica Bates. After talking with Jessica, this is why she wants to Mrs. Asparagus 2010...
"I would be honored to carry the title of Mrs. Asparagus because it would give me the opportunity to express to the community how unique and special Oceana County is. Michigan is the third state in the nation for the Asparagus production with our county, Oceana, being number one in the state. I would be honored to promote the healthy benefits of eating asparagus, supporting local Michigan Farmers who grow this amazing vegetable, and encourage others to visit this wonderful county which I am proud to call my home. Buy Michigan Asparagus!"

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!

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!
