Well, almost baby Jesse. Baby Jesse to be, is more like it. Kate & Jon are expecting, any time now, their first child, and I got to have the privilege of documenting how fantastic Kate looks at 37 weeks.
Take a peek for yourself!

Beckie & Nate (8.16.08) let me troll around Thornapple Pointe Golf Club with them for their engagement shots. Let me just say this, I am a much better shot with my camera than with a set of clubs. Nate’s a golf pro, and Beckie is a golf pro’s fiancee, and well, Thornapple is just gorgeous!
Your complete set is here:

Gibson Isaiah Sokolove and potential future classmate (live in the same town) Skylah Rae Woodwyk were introduced to my lens this weekend. It’s how most kids these days get to know me.
I’ve been blessed to have both the Sokolove family and Skylah’s mommy (I’ve met daddy, but don’t know him that well!) in my life, and I’m lucky they are letting me in to this new phase of each of their lives.
Stay tuned for more Gibby & Skylah as they grow older!

This past weekend I went to visit a friend in Ann Arbor, and two dear friends (Ikea and Trader Joe) in Livonia/Canton….and stayed with my cousin, Stacy, and her husband Gary, and two children, Dylan and Madison.
We spent the afternoon on Sunday doing family pictures – what a TREAT!
Hmmm…if just my cousins hired me this year…I could probably quit my day job (dutch family – 40 cousins or so).

Yesterday was Fair Trade Awareness Day, and I joined the F.A.I.R. group on their “shop hop” where they visited local merchants featuring fair trade products. I had to leave early because my bank account couldn’t handle any more shops! It’s great to purchase something knowing that it was fairly made, the merchants are being supported, and because these shops are locally owned, the profits help support our community.
Thanks, ladies of FAIR for letting lizzie photo be a part of your day.

if not the perfect niece…well, one of two I have. Clara Grace is the lucky recipient of a lot of my tries and attempts and efforts at child photography. Unfortunately, she rarely cooperates. But that makes it fun too.
I’m blessed to have two wonderful nieces and to have them live around the corner from me. Life doesn’t get much sweeter.
Here are a few shots of both of them:

But my fave of the day is Clara….putting baby in timeout.
Lindsey…Rich…..July 26 is going to be a blast!
