2 1/2 years ago I was doing some research for my boss on local businesses for some reason or another (I can't remember now) and came across a photographer's website and blog whose work I absolutely loved. For whatever reason, I bookmarked her page that day, and I've been following her work ever since! I actually follow several photographers' blogs, both local and national, and became good friends with the photographer who shot my bridal session, wedding, and the professional shots of our first "child" Brody-man. I'm actually hoping she'll shoot some maternity shots for me :o) There's something about the way they see the world, or perhaps how they help us to see it better, differently, or from a new perspective - I love it. It's kind of like people watching... only you can take your time.
I find her work with newborns, kids, and families fresh and fun, and most importantly I think, real... she definitely has "the eye." You know the one I'm talking about. She catches a kid smiling when they think no one is looking, or while they're giving their sibling the most disgusted look thinking the adults in the room are not paying attention. Her newborn pics are literally, a captured moment in time. I knew then I had to hire her when Jason and I decided to have a newborn of our own. So of course, that's exactly what I did! Baby K. is on her schedule tentatively for the 30th of May (or whenever the little peanut decides to let us meet him or her). I'm so excited. I'll leave you with a couple of examples of her work... and if you'd like to see more - simply visit her blog here:
What types of blogs do you frequent? What are YOUR guilty pleasures...?

Love this post, Erin! Having great pictures of your baby is SO wonderful...we did newborn pictures with Dominic, then every three months for the first year. They are more important than any piece of art in our home!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikki! If the first year goes by as fast everyone says I can only imagine how special it is to have those precious moments caught on film! Did you use a photographer in Kalamazoo?
ReplyDeleteOoo, it would be great to see a picture of "the bump!" I wish we were closer, especially when it comes to things like this!
ReplyDeleteMy go to blog is a diabetes blog I found with I was first diagnosed. www.sixuntilme.com. I don't get there everyday, but it's never hard to catch up! :) And now... yours, too!
