Do you remember this little guy? It's my nephew, Josiah. I recently went to visit him and snapped a few shots during the Fall Festival. There was a costume parade that all the kids walked in.


Josiah did no walking. He was very energetic and ran and ran past all the rest of the kids.


Then we saw what he was running toward - the playground!












Riding in a plastic airplane


Look at that hair! It was super windy out!


And getting chased by a little girl made him giggle.

Tonight I got to photograph some of the cutest kids in GR. Seriously, these two are completely adorable!!

Here's Olivia


Smelling a flower, everyone say Awwww


And here's her brother, Jaden.


Could his eyes be any bigger?

And in piles of leaves (fun with blur on this image)




We were throwing leaves at each other and this was Olivia's face when she got some thrown at her.


Jaden with perfect early evening light on his little face.


The siblings together


Thanks for letting me come over guys! You did a great job!

Thank you for inviting me to your home. What a beautiful fall day! Hope you like your preview!

See more pictures here.

Yesterday I went out to Grant, MI to meet with Jackson and his family. I took Jackson's pictures a few months ago.
Here's a reminder of what he used to look like.

Here he is now, all grown up and already hard at work.












And the sneezing series (which I think is hilarious!)






Jackson, you did great! Emily, my wonderful assistant who kept Jackson smiling, you did a great job too!

P.S. I will post the family portrait preview a little later.

This afternoon I went to Sarah and Eric's home to photograph their son, Luke.


Eric showed Luke this fuzzy little caterpillar. Luke was so gentle.


Silly face


Luke really wanted to lift the pumpkins. I think he thought they were balls to play with.




Sitting for a minute




Playing soccer




Thanks for a fun afternoon!
