A few shots from the new studio


Today I finally got to shoot in the new studio for the first time, and had the pleasure of working with these 3 beautiful little girls, Megan, Morgan and Madison, who were not only beautiful, but who coincidently wore outfits that matched all of my furniture and props!! Their mom Jennifer was awesome as well! We chased these little one's all around the big room in hopes of a few good shots! I went a little overboard on the pictures as this was my first shoot in the new place, but here's a few of my favorites from a huge folder of images....

Madison was not about to leave that headband on... no siree...that didn't stop us from trying though!!

I think she's pulling it off in every shot!




Little Morgan holding still for a half a precious second here...

From these shots you can't tell that she was on one side of the room to the other in about 2 seconds flat... amazing I actually captured a couple here...


My new chair is working out well here!


And big sister Megan of course did a great job, and her eyes, shirt and my pillow all matched so well!


Morgan sits like a queen on my new pink chair!!

Thank you girls and mom, for being my very first subjects in the new studio!!

**Pryca & Jeremiah Procunier** 5.16.09


Pryca and Jeremiah's wedding FINALLY took place on May 16th, 2009! I say finally because they hired me to photograph their wedding in 2007! I've been anticipating this wedding for a long time! They decided to have their ceremony at the nicest little bed and breakfast at Willow Pond in Fenwick, just a little ways past Greenville. It was a sunny, but very windy outdoor ceremony, with the horses watching too.... We did most of the pictures right there on the property, then off to the Ionia fairgrounds for the reception. That was held in the coolest old building, the Floral building. Had I known how cool it was, I would have done a few more there earlier! Once I got going there with more pictures, I didn't want to stop... eventually the sun going down stopped my roll.... I'd love to do a trash the dress session here sometime... (hint, Pryca!)

Everything here was trimmed in purple, which just happened to go with Pryca's flowers very well...


Lots of gorgeous windows and natural light in here...

and lots of space for dancing...

Some pictures with grandma....


Cutting the cake.........check out the cake topper later on, love it!

Pryca and Jeremiah stayed at the bed and breakfast for a few days, this was the 4 post bed in her room, lots of rustic charm...



Loving Pryca's ring...

Barn doors make great backdrops, no matter how big...







The wedding party was perfectly small... !

Kissin' after cuttin' the cake!

Jeremiah and his bro....


Used the little barn quite a bit!


Okay, he was just pretending, but we thought it would be funny...!

Mom and Dad give Pryca some love...

Family portraits on the front porch... (very sunny...)



All the guests.......me on the balcony...


She was holding back the Lilac bushes for me to get the family pics, thanks for your help!

Newly married...

The bride is escorted by her brother to her ceremony...

Receiving the guests...

Dad sees Pryca for the first time all dressed up... there were a few tears!



Just hitched!








Loving the sleeves of Pryca's dress...


Details, details, details....










This is the bed and breakfast at Willow Pond...lovely place!





One of my favorite shots of the groom...

Awesome fireplace....








I had the hardest time focusing on this little guy, I think this is the only decent shot I got....




We almost lost the train in the water........

Dancing with mom....

Okay, this was a must have shot, with the barn and all.... the only problem was Pryca had a very difficult time keeping a straight face, we tried a few times!! I think this is more of a smirk!!


Father/Daughter dance...



Here's the cake topper!!






Here's my favorite one... ):

Loving horses... wish we could have used them a little more for the pics...

The windy ceremony....

Dad escorts Pryca the rest of the way to her groom...






A few tears...







Congratulations after a very long engagement, I'm so glad that everything went so well for your wedding day! Looking forward to working on the rest of your pictures for you, hope you enjoy these for the time-being!

Best Wishes Pryca and Jeremiah!!
