Lyndsay & Travis

Lyndsay and Travis were married in Jamaica in December. They decided to have a reception back here in GR last Saturday for all of their friends and relatives who didn't get to see them get married. It was held at the lovely Crowne Plaza.

Lyndsay got to be a beautiful bride twice! Lucky girl!










Travis was pretty relaxed, can you tell? :)

We did sneak in some time just for Lyndsay and Travis. (Check out the reflection in the table - sweet!)

Thanks for a great evening!

New Email Address

A horrible discovery - hotmail is unreliable! I have learned that over the last few months many messages never made it to my inbox! They are out there floating in cyber space I guess. This is unacceptable! Be gone hotmail!

My new email address is rose@sparkcreativephotography.com

If you have emailed me within the last month and never received a response, please re-send as I probably never got your message.

Thank you!

As a graphic designer in my former life, I had fun creating it.

Caitlyn and Molly

I drove out to Plainwell last Saturday for a Birthday photo shoot. Molly just turned two. Here she is with her big sister, Caitlyn.


Aw! Sister secrets.




Sisterly Love




Molly LOVES to dance. Check out this girl's moves!


Molly is also a little shopper. She chose this dress out all by herself at the Gap! Ta-da!


Then, like any girl, she has to check herself out in the mirror. Hee hee!


More dancing in THE dress.


Hey Girl!


Happy 2nd Birthday Molly!

Alayna and Ryer

Alayna was two weeks old when I photographed her. She was tiny but such a little doll! Ryer was excited, super cute, and loved having attention while his new little sister was taking a nap.







Time for Alayna to wake up.


It's a tough process and involves a lot of stretching and grunting.


She even gets her feet into it.


After a little lunch, Alayna is ready for some more sleep.


We had other plans for her - naked baby pictures!!




This all very tiring for the poor little thing.


Then time for a little brother - sister bonding.


Their communication does not require words.


Nice baby!


Thanks for having me over! I had a great time!
