Introducing Brady Allan, born May 21st at 8:04am. Tipping the scales at 9lbs 1oz (just 7 oz lighter then his sister, though 2 weeks earlier) and 20.75″ long.

Recovery has been a challenge as I’ve been in and out of the hospital. I think we’ve finally figured it out (high blood pressure). So please anyone contacting me or needing items, bare with me as we work through all of this.

You’d think I’d have a slew of images. But truth be told, I’ve felt so sick I have few But those I do have I cherish.

So the countdown is on. In 6 days, brother boy, as he has been named by Mads, will be here. So what does one do while waiting? Well of course a photo session with their most favorite subject

Mads and I waddled out today (well I waddled, she ran) to do a belated 4 year old session. Since I wasn’t up to traveling very far, the old stand by of Mill Race was used. And of course I had to dress her in some Matilda Jane   Who by the way is having an online art fair this weekend!

For those clients waiting and wanting to book summer sessions,  I am unavailable ALL of June!  June will be my official maternity leave, but it’ll also be jammed packed w/ other events (NKOTB BABY!).  Starting in late June, I will begin contacting those baby plan clients that are waiting on sessions.  After that, the calendar will slowly open to the general public.  I will say, I plan on hosting a studio blowout event with EXTREME discount sessions (talking $50 people) to celebrate my studio’s opening (yes, it’s been open, but I haven’t been shooting).   So look for information on that to follow!

Now without anymore waiting….My Princess

Yes, I’ve now known for nearly a month what Baby Porter version 2.0. It’s amazing how fast time can get away from you. Those of my clients on facebook were able to get the announcement already (which reminds me, I need to add that info here). Baby Porter 2.0 was not shy in showing us what HE has. Yes, that’s right, we’re expecting a boy.

Those of you that know my Matilda Jane obsession can understand my intial disappointment that I only get one little princess.  But the shock is wearing off and I’m accepting that instead of another princess, I’ve got the next great U of M hockey player from Northville.  (For those rusty on their UM Hockey players, Kevin Porter of Northville, no relation, won the Hobey Baker last year – Hockey’s version of the Heisman).  But enough of that tangent.

I’m happy to report my client forms are now online.  You will be able to fill out all that session paperwork online now.  It’s my attempt to go green

For those clients on facebook, I invited you to friend me, Amy Porter.  You can also join the Lil Sweet Pea Photography Group, or “fan” my business page.  Just another way to spread the word   I’ll possibly start posting sneak peeks on facebook as well that you will be able to tag

One last announcement that will get it’s own post as well.  I will (I mean of course I will, LOL) be hosting a Spring Matilda Jane trunk show with the LOVELY Rachel on March 6th, a Friday.  So start saving those pennies.  More information to follow, but drop me an email if you are interested!

There’s something about us photographers.  We get managed to get bored VERY quickly!  So while it feels like I just started my new blog not all that long ago, here I am changing it.  Watch the top!  I’ve got a bunch of different images rotating through, pretty cool   Another super cool perk of this blog, I’ll be able to post SUPER HUGE SNEAK PEEK IMAGES

Stay tuned for even more announcements to come!
