I am so blessed to have such wnderful family, friends, and supporters. <br /><br />This year I wanted things to be different, life changes all the time right! That is one of the reasons why we rely on photography so heavily, to help us remember days gone by. But I digress, the real reason for this post is to let you know I have moved! Yes moved! No, I didn't move out of Bronson, and yes I still live in Michigan. No I moved blogs! The new site is here <a href="http://believephoto.blogspot.com">CLICK ME TO GO TO THE NEW BLOG</a><br /><br />Go ahead, click it-I dare ya!<br /><br />♥JenniferBelievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-52935838920622429282009-12-20T20:10:00.000-08:002009-12-20T20:31:15.944-08:00First Winter Snowfall<center>I know I haven't been doing a good job blogging lately and I will apologize for that. I will start making up for that soon! I have had a lot going on and things are beginning to calm down a little so I will have more time, I hope!<br /><br />With that being said, next on the agenda is SNOW!!!! It finally snowed in south central Michigan, and I couldn't be happier! Not only do I have a ton of fun sessions lined up, but I also have my family session set for a good snow fall! While the sessions didn't happen this weekend with the first snow, I did get to take the kids out and hang with them while they played in the snow. Any seriousness you see is fake and completely staged by THEM! Alot of it is pure silliness, and believe me it was alot of fun! Here are a ton of the shots I got today! I couldn't pick a few fave's and i may even add more later!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog21.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog16-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog13-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog14-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog6-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog7-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog8-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog10-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog9-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog12-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog11-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog1-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog5-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog2-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog4-4.jpg"><br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-46098729515512194562009-12-12T22:00:00.000-08:002009-12-15T19:41:59.084-08:00Good Directions and a Contest<center>You may recognize the older in girl in these photos as Elizabeth, I did a birthday session for her last spring and she was one of my very first posts! This time I had the pleasure of shooting her and her brother, along with her two cousins and the weather couldn't have been more beautiful for autumn in Michigan. We went to a little park a couple of miles from Bronson and played for a couple hours, the girls even went for a little wade in the cold water! They were so much fun and I loved meeting Valerie and photographing her children! <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog1-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog2-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog3-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog7-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog4-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog5-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog6-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog8-2.jpg"><br /><br />Now leave me a comment on this blog and you could win a free session.

Brendan, Jayden, Katie, and Cody-what a fun bunch! I actually did Brendan and Jayden's session on a different day than Katei and Cody's because of illness, but both sessions were so much fun! I love photographing children in a natural enviroment they feel at home in, and that is exactly what I did with these four!

She approached me and asked if I could take some shots of her daughter, who is on the team, so she could have a few for memories. If you would like some shots done you can contact me by clicking the contact link above, I would love the chance to photograph your child playing the sports they love!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post2-13.jpg"><br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-11534044387411858242009-11-24T22:22:00.000-08:002009-11-24T22:38:49.564-08:00Southern Moon<center>A couple weeks ago, yes I am that far behind on blogging, I had such a good time photographing a photographer friend'sof mine family from Kalamazoo. Her name is Mia Geer and her site can be found <a href="www.photoimpact.shutterfly.com">here</a>.<br />Her family is the cutest and the location was so amazing! We held our session at <a href="http://southernmoon.com">Southern Exposure Herb Gardens</a> and I loved it so much I decided to have my family portraits taken there also. Can't wait for those, but I am trying to hold out for the snow (please come soon.)<br /><br />So here are my favorites from day spent with Mia and her family, also watch soon for the photos we will be posting from our photo walk we are planning in downtown Kalamazoo, MI in December-I can't wait! Thanks again Geer family and my thoughts and prayers are with you while Lance is away! Mia's husband, Lance, is being deployed to Afghanistan so let's keep our brave soldiers and their amazing families in our prayers and let them know they are never forgotten!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia9.jpg"><br /><br />And here are some shots from around Southern Exposure<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mia11.jpg"><br /><br />See more on the website by clicking <a href="http://believephoto.com">here</a><br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-81142085641244867542009-11-19T20:58:00.000-08:002009-11-19T21:36:11.379-08:00A day by the river<center>I had the chance recently to spend the day in Three Rivers, Michigan with an awesome family. Karen and James Tennant are such good people and their kids were great to photograph and very creative, I love how children see pictures everywhere! We walked almost the whole River Walk in downtown Three Rivers and it is such a beautiful spot to be in the fall! There was a little of everything to offer! The river, bridges, leaves and the woods, animals to pet, ducks and geese everywhere, and we passed a fellow who found a new friends in the wood and let us pet him.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog10.jpg"><br /><br />Here are the rest of my favorites with this great family for more you can find their gallery at Believe Photography's main page or by <a href="http://www.believephoto.com/Family/A-day-by-the-river/10190165_ZaBkr#701717748_9roVU">clicking here</a>!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog2-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog3-1.jpg"><br /><br />Loved that spray painted heart!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog4-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog5-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog8-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog6-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog7-1.jpg"><br /><br />How much fun is this?

These two little sisters were a blast to photograph and so much fun to play with! We started off in the park and they were such good sports, because it was cold, and they were sweet enough to play with no coats on!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb1-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb4.jpg"><br /><br />There was the best bike trail in the park we were playing at so we decided to take a little walk down it to see what we could find. We found LEAVES! I love autumn and the fall colors and the girls were having fun playing with the leaves!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/fb6.jpg"><br /><br />Then we went over to the lake where they have some really nice hiking trails and took another walk, it was so much fun!

It was so much fun and by the end of the party the girls were really in to it and I think they could have kept me going all day! Madi and her friends were fabulously fun to be around and were magnificent models to photograph! While I was at it I did a few of the family! <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog2.jpg"><br /><br />The party started inside with nails, makeup, hair, and wardrobe pampering the darlings while they ate cake and sipped on some delicious punch. After all the luxuries were bestowed upon them we got to business.<br /><br />Madi is such a beautiful girl and was a real pleasure to shoot.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog8.jpg"><br /><br />Her friends are equally as beautiful and flaunted it for the camera<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/blog5.jpg"><br /><br />Thank you Nicole for inviting me to such a special party for an amazing little girl!

We carve pumpkins, scour the town for candy and share this fantastic holiday together-the main reason I love this time of the year! <br /><br />We get our pumpkins and gourds from Swift Pumpkins here in Bronson every year.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post2-12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-13.jpg"><br /><br />Then we take them home and have our way with them! We usually free hand draw and then carve our pumpkins and this year they never saw fire because it was pretty nasty out after we carved them! <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post5-11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post7-8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post6-11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post8-7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post14-2.jpg"><br /><br />My daughter was so proud of her cute little pumpkin<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post12-2.jpg"><br /><br />then while her brother was concentrating on getting his finished<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/mav3-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post13-2.jpg"><br /><br />She finished her homework on the dining room floor. Our Lab Savannah supervised to make sure she was doing it right...or was just wondering why, if Caycia is on the floor, she isn't playing with her.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post11-2.jpg"><br /><br />For Halloween my kids decided to be vampires and we all know that real vamps have black or white faces and never show their teeth to a human unless they are going to bite. It was fun and Caycia got to pretend she and Edward Cullen had a chance for one night.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/spooky.jpg"><br /><br />I hope you enjoyed these memories as much as we enjoyed making them and a little advice: Never carve a gourd!<br /><br />♥Jennifer </center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-18928707360628904392009-10-30T22:26:00.000-07:002009-10-30T22:38:37.585-07:00Friday Fix-it For the end of October<center><a href="http://www.iheartfaces.com/"><img src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/125x125.jpg"/></a></center><br /><br /><center>As you all can see I haven't done a Friday Fix It From the i ♥ faces blog in a long time, but this week I just could not resist!

This day mostly consists of them riding all the really BIG rides and giving me mini heart attacks and me spending a bunch of money on that game where you put in your token and the little pusher fills in the spaces and if you are lucky you may get a rubber skeleton or more tokens. But we have a good time and always leave with smiles on our face and our teeth aching from all the sugar. Here are some photos I wanted to share from this years trip.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/1-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/2-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/4-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/5-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/6-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/3-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/7-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/8-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/9-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/10-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/11-2.jpg"><br /><br />I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!<br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-86054971859415316512009-10-25T21:38:00.001-07:002009-10-25T21:44:06.080-07:00Take a little ride on my big, green tractor.<center>Meet the Sikorski's, Kelly and Keith and there super awesome family invited me out to their farm to take pictures with their HUGE pride and joy-a John Deere Combine-and man was that thing sweet!

I met Erica on facebook and we have grown to be friends through critiquing and just general chit-chat on late editing nights. When she asked me to do a session for her I was honored and couldn't wait! Who doesn't love apple orchards? I didn't know it was goign to be so much fun to shoot this session and I am so glad I agreed to do it!

Also...I have a website now! WOOHOOOO-celebrate good times, come on! So, I had to take a little time and do some design. But I am back and ready to post a few sessions! <br /><br />This is Kinslea, she is so stinking cute and was up for anything I asked! It was so cool to be able to put her places most kids wouldn't go! I have known her mother for years and was super excited when she booked a session, I knew it would turn out great! Here are my picks from my time spent with them.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post6-9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post7-7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post5-9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post2-10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post8-6.jpg"><br /><br />Thanks Deb, it was so much fun and I am looking forward to our next session!<br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-25895371297769310772009-09-23T10:13:00.000-07:002009-09-23T10:19:31.494-07:00School pictures and headshots<center>Thank you all for your interest in my back to school special! I think I had a great turn out! The special ends on September 30th so hurry up and book your session! <br /><br />While I was editing my photos, I came to the realization that I REALLY love head shots! There is something about capturing a person and showing the world who they really are! It is fun and an amazing process! Here are some of my favorites from this past weekend!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posta-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postd-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post6-8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post7-6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posta-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postc-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postb-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postc-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postb-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postd-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post5-8.jpg"><br /><br />These are also examples of my special!

So when they decided the schedule a session with me I was really excited! <br /><br />The girls were ready to get their pictures taken, especially Hilary (the youngest) who is now my new best friend!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/poste-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posti-2.jpg"><br /><br />Then, there was Harley. Sweet, little, I will not smile for my pictures Harley. She was so cute and very steadfast on her issue with smiling!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postf-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postg-2.jpg"><br /><br />OH-WHAT'S THAT? A teeny, tiny smile just for me! Gotcha Harley =)<br /><br />I think she must get the no-smile syndrome from her big sis, Haley! Who didn't want to smile either! <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postj-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postb-2.jpg"><br /><br />These girls were quite a challenge, but so much fun!

Meet Mason, Addison, and Ashlynn-aren't they super cute? And what fun! We started off by playing in the park and watching out for all the wild animals that were hiding in the sand.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post2-8.jpg"><br /><br />Then we just walked all over the place! There were so many great backgrounds, and these kids were so great about helping me get pictures! Of course, we had to swing! How can you go to the park and not swing?<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-8.jpg"><br /><br />I had such a fun time getting to know this family and I feel blessed every day for being able to meet and capture all the wonderful people I photograph!

You know I love this because it gives me a chance to test my mad skillz (hee hee) and hopefully learn something new! This week I am learning CS3 (whew) and that is what I used to fix my pic. First I used curves, then the healing preset, the I enhanced the eyes and I used several actions from <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com">Pioneer Woman </a> to make her seem angelic and tada! All I have to say is CS3 is my new bff! Here is the before:<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/3907952533_bc2c276962_b.jpg"><br /><br />and the after:<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/3faces907952533_bc2c276962_b.jpg"><br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-13368510783712859342009-09-10T20:26:00.000-07:002009-09-10T20:33:45.128-07:00On my International Harvester<center>Here are my new friends Jolene and Tom Sikorski and their beautiful daughters again. At their first shoot, we were hoping to include their pretty puppy in the pictures...but who knew that dogs weren't allowed in some parks in Michigan? Come on, my dog is literally part of my family! She doesn't even know she is a dog! <br /><br />So I promised Tom and Jo that I would come visit at their lovely house and get some pictures of the family-including dog. Well, while I was at it I had the honor of photographing Tom's cherry red Farm-All.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post3-7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-7.jpg"><br /><br />Before that though, I did get some shots of the family with their K9 companion that turned out really cute! Thanks again Tom and Jo-you guys are great!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post10-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post2-7.jpg"><br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-81727372359948294592009-09-10T05:59:00.000-07:002009-09-10T06:22:32.586-07:00Carter♥<center><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter6.jpg"><br /><br />You might recognize this cutie from the spring pictures I took of his family. Well, now he is one! He is the cutest little stinker and so happy! I love his little smile and his fascination with my camera! His party was quite a success...except for the fact that the birthday boy was wiped out and decided he needed a nap.<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter4.jpg"><br /><br />Before he took his nap though, his friends played pop the balloon to get the candy inside; the only problem with that is they didn't want to pop the balloons!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter3.jpg"><br /><br />So while Carter slept his party away, I decided to get some pictures of what was going on around me. <br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter5.jpg"><br /><br />Then the little prince decided to wake up but he was not very happy! He just wanted his mom even though there was yummy cake just for him!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter1.jpg"><br /><br />But mom said lets go ahead and open presents and that cheered him right up!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/carter7.jpg"><br /><br />After the party I shot some photos of him as keepsakes for his mom and he was in such a good mood then!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/AT-1-22.jpg"><br /><br />♥Jennifer</center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638491453495775113.post-74032376017086636202009-09-02T12:47:00.000-07:002009-09-02T13:38:51.814-07:00Polish Festival Parade<center>Yep, you read that right, a Polish Festival! The town that I abide in is Bronson, MI and the people who settled here were predominately polish. So, once a year, the good people of this little town celebrate their heritage by eating, drinking, dancing, doing more eating and more drinking. They throw in other stuff like games, rides, tractor and truck pulls, and of course a parade! I love me a good parade with a lot of dynamic feature! This year was really exciting for me because I finally had a great camera to photograph it with! Here are the highlights from the 2009 Bronson Polish Days Festival!<br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post1-5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post6-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post7-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post5-4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post4-5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post0.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post9-2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posta-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postj.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postb-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postc-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postd-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/post8-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/poste-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postf-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posth-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/posti-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postk.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postm.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postt.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu243/believephoto/postp.jpg"><br /><br />♥Jennifer </center>Believehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00198858398009799822noreply@blogger.com0
