Sarah & Ravi ~ Engagement Session

Last weekend I met up with an old high school friend Sarah and her fiance Ravi. The location was at Sarah's parents farm, and the plan was to use the old barn. As I was packing up my gear the rain was pouring down and it wasn't looking good for a photo session. Since Sarah and Ravi live in Chicago we decided to go ahead and hope for the best....and I am SO glad we did. By the time I got there the rain had stopped but it was perfectly overcast. And, the log pile out back never looked so good. :)

Every engagement shoot I do is wonderful for different reasons, and this one was no exception. Sarah & Ravi have been together awhile and it shows. It's in the way they are comfortable with each other, love each other, and can just be goofy with each other.



I am so happy for you both and wish you much love and happiness for many, many years to come. Thank you so much for letting me capture your love at this moment in time.







This picture is a little different...but fun!!




Take care and keep in touch! xoxo Amber

Happy Easter!!

Mira & Melea ~ newborn session

A few weeks ago I got to spend the afternoon with these precious little twins. I was amazed that I got a few of them together, because most of the time they were not too happy to be in such close proximity. After nine months of togetherness, they wanted their own space. Seija thank you for patiently waiting for this sneak peek!!

Samantha ~ 6 month session

The adorable Miss Samantha came back for her 6 month session last week. I think this stage is the best. At six months they can sit up, do the arm push-ups, and grab their toes. But, they can't crawl or run away!

Melody & Eric ~ Engagement Session

I met with Melody and Eric in Rockford, MI for their engagement session last Friday. The sun was shinning and it was a perfect day to be outside walking around in Michigan during the winter season. It was great to hang out with you guys and I am really looking forward to your wedding this summer at the Post Family Farm. I know it will be fantastic, especially with all the little extras you are planning Melody! : )

Family

It had been too many years since these sisters had all been together with their families in one location. So, as a gift to their parents they had me come over and document the occasion. Two Grandparents, Four Sisters, Four Husbands, and Six kids. I was worried...but this family was fantastic. I had so much fun photographing everyone and the events that I soon forgot how many people were actually there. Here are just a few of my favorites from the day. Thank you Shannon for thinking of me and it was wonderful to meet everyone else in the family!! I hope you made tons of great memories with your time together.

This is picture reminds me of the incredible tolerance mothers have. : )

Baby Lucy

Last week I planned to take sleepy baby pictures of baby Lucy...but she had other plans. There was no way I was going to get her to sleep without her pacifier. So, the paci stayed and it works. The pictures are unique to Lucy and they show her personality, as new as it is. I always know that I should expect the unexpected with this wonderful family. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did. Thanks for letting me capture these moments!





Then we finally got her to sleep with out the paci....all I can say is that this mama is great. : )
