Sunday afternoon I had the privilege of photographing the Meredith family. You may recognize them from Lindsey and Andy's wedding photos a few months ago. I was so excited when they called and asked me to take some family photos. We met at Johnson Park and although it was a tad chilly outside, their warm hearts and obvious love for each other made the photos spectacular!

Enjoy your preview!

One Year Blogiversary!!!

Guess what? This week is my one year Blogiversary!! I can't believe it's only been one year since I started this blog because in some ways it seems like I have had it for years! Owning a photography business has been so amazing and I sincerely think I have the BEST clients ever! I can't wait to see where another year brings me!

In celebration of my One Year Blogiversary, I am giving away stuff! If you sign up to be a "fan" on my Facebook page, between today (March 17, 2009) and Friday (March 20, 2009) I will mail you a $10 Spark Creative Photography gift card good for one year on any photo shoot scheduled or any prints you wish to purchase.

Email me your address and I will get the gift card in the mail to you. My email address is: rose@sparkcreativephotography.com

Saturday will be another give away so come on back!

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? :)


Lyndsay's attendants


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!

New Logo!

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!
