Austen { Birmingham Michigan Baby Photographer }I couldn’t believe how much Austen changed in just 6 months! He was so full of smiles and the sweetest expressions! I fell in love with those huggable thighs of his too 
Here is Austen as a 7 day old newborn, and again at 6 months! Still has those sweet cheeks!
Sophia Jane|6 days { Birmingham Michigan Newborn Photographer }I had such a blast meeting this sweet family! I couldn’t believe how gentle Max was with his sister, and being so young! (He just turned 2) He had lots of cute things to say, and little Sophia slept like a champion for me
Max said “We are a family!” It was so cute!!!
Life Stories|February { Michigan Newborn Photographer }This month’s “Life Stories” theme for me was I decided to do a Photo-a-Day February. I took one photo of myself everyday. I started running out of ideas at the end, though. It was hard! But I had so much fun and would recommend this to anyone!

Alicia, Brooke, Camryn|47 days { Birmingham Michigan Triplet Newborn Photographer }I certainly had my hands full this day! What an amazing experience! These3 are identical triplet little girls-and so sweet in every way! Not only are they rare as identical triplets, but they were a spontaneous pregnancy, so they are little miracles! Brooke and Camryn weigh in at 8 pounds, and Alicia is catching up at 5 pounds. I enjoyed every moment, and these pictures were so worth it all! 
Here is Alicia-probably wondering why I kept moving her around
Here is Brooke
Here is Camryn

Olivia Grace|9 days { birmingham Michigan newborn photographer }Olivia came to me in a milk coma and only woke once to eat! I had so much fun! One of my shortest sessions to date-in and out in 2.5 hours, and that’s including feeding her! I just loved her little angelic face

Here is from my interview with her!
How did you start out?
I always loved creating and somewhere deep in my heart wanted to be a clothing designer. This was a childhood dream and growing up in small town in Russia I believed that it will remain a childhood dream. Until I met my husband and he brought me to Canada. All of my degrees were not in demand here so I decided to follow my passion. And… my childhood dream became a wonderful and joyful reality. Sometimes I think that dream is not just a dream, but something God has for us in mind:)
How long have you been knitting? crocheting?
Crafting and housekeeping was a compulsory credit at the school. Also my mom was a creative person and taught me the basics. And, I can sew too:) Cooking though is a whole different story…
Do you prefer knitting or crocheting?
I like both. Each of this technique has benefits. For example, crocheting will let you create many different shapes, but knitting will showcase the stitch so beautifully.
Do you have a favorite hat that you make?
My all time favorite was Calypsohttp://www.etsy.com/transaction/68914885 Unfortunately almost sold out. I also really like this cutenesshttp://www.etsy.com/listing/90957266/baby-raccoon-hat-knit-newborn-hat-baby
Do you make things other than hats?
Yes, I do. I have a large variety of newborn items, blankets, cocoons, diaper covers etc. I love making scarves and there are few of them available at FashionTouch
What is your favorite color to work with?
I am a fan of all green and blue:)
Are your items available only for photogs?
No. In fact many of my customers are parents or ordering for themselves (adult sizes). I even equipped one of the Russian snowboarding teams with my Mohawks:)

Life Stories|January { Michigan Newborn Photographer }Life happens so fast. I can’t believe I am already approaching my 5 year wedding anniversary this May. It literally seems like we got married last month. My New Year’s Resolution this year is to take more photos of our life. I started doing a book last year, documenting our lives in pictures to show our children some day how life was before they came. This year, I will continue to do my book, but also want to do a blog post once a month with some kind of thing I do, whether just plain old life or somewhere we go It’s not the most exciting life in the world, but it’s mine. And I love it!
This month I chose to do the little birthday gathering at my parent’s house-my step mom turned the big 5-0! (errrr… 21 is what I actually meant!) She came into my life 10 years ago and I wouldn’t trade her for anything! I grew up without a mom, so she has become that and so much more to our family. It was a little gathering, just my parents, husband, and I as my other siblings were out of state or working. Enjoy!
This is the present I got her. I forgot to take the picture before she opened it so it looks a little messy. lol!
And this was what was inside of the bag. We got one just like it for our wedding, and I knew she’d love it since she has others. I love these statues!!
One thing you don’t know about the birthday girl is that she is an AMAZING cook! She grew up in the Dominican Republic, and her cooking is just out of this world! She is one of those people who never needs a recipe.
While we were waiting for the food we were relaxing. Is it sad to say these pillows bring back memories? I can remember them from high school. So soft and comfy, and a perfect fit for a nap on the couch
Here is the star. Literally, of every single gathering we have. It’s always about this dog! His name is Isaiah, and we’ve had him since I was in high school. Thankfully I live close by so I can see him whenever I want. I tried to get a shot of his nose here. He only posed once. Then….
I got this. I like to say he has “Photographer Dog Syndrome.” I always try to take pictures of him and I think he just got annoyed. He stuck his tongue out at me here. He is part lab, part chow, so that explains any questions you may have on his tongue! lol
This is Izzy’s (we pronounce it Eye-Zee) favorite toy. I think we got it from the dollar store back when I was in 11th grade. He still loves it! Even though the squeaker stopped working a long time ago.
Izzy actually knows lots of tricks. He can spin around, shake, play dead, lay down, jump, sit, and can even catch the treat if you put it on his nozzle-it’s so cute! I will always remember Izzy for his “shake”. He does it SO much. He thinks he will get a treat if he does it. If you sit down, he will come up to you and shake. He is so spoiled, lol. He is the best dog ever too
Dinner was done! My dad rocks at using his grill. This is pork shoulder. But we have a little joke about it. For some reason, I always call everything either chicken, or pork butt. So now I always ask if he will be serving pork butt-lol! I am on a detox and couldn’t eat this amazing food. Only another 9 days-I can’t wait!
I was told it was very tender and yummy. I will be making sure I get over there soon when I can have it-it looked SO good!
Here is a shot my hubby took of me and Izzy. I LOVE this dog. I don’t have any pictures with him but hope to get some this year. He is already 8 years old!
Izzy loves laying on his back and being scratched. He’s so cute…and he knows it too!
Here’s a shot I got of him last year. I gave him this frame for Christmas (cheesy I know) and now there’s a cute dog in the cute frame hanging up in my parents house
To anyone who made it this far, thanks for reading! I look forward to making another post for February!
