I love anytime I get to do a session w/ the C family.  I’ve been photographing the boys since C was 8mos old!  Now he’s a big 3 year old.  It was time for us to do W’s 1 year photos.  Brady was actually due on W’s first birthday, so we had to hold out a bit for his session.

W was much like his older brother C, on the move for his 1 year session.  But I did manage to capture some great photos of him.  I also got to sneak a few of older brother’s C and A.  Mom, I hope these were worth the wait

It’s time to vote for all things Detroit that we know and love.  This year, Lil Sweet Pea Photography is nominated for the best portrait photographer in Detroit

I shot J’s newborn photos back in March, when I was a lovely 30 some weeks pregnant.  Atleast mom knew my pain as I slowly moved around during the session.  I was happy to get back and shoot J again, this time for the 4 month old session.  He has gotten big, well…. LONG!  He was also such a happy smiley baby.  But apparently J has already been informed that I am a Wolverine and he is a Spartan, and that means war.  I laughed so hard when I found one particular image on my cards after the session.  See if you can guess which it is? 

Due to a scheduling conflict, I need to move the date of the mini sessions to August 8th.

Same place, same details, new day

If you remember this fall, my childhood dreams came true when I met New Kids on the Block and then scored front row seats for the concert Well tomorrow I’m going to meet them again. WOOOO! (Yes, I’m aware, I’m a dork).

My favorite New Kid is doing a book drive this summer in an effort to provide children’s books to under privileged kids. They are collecting books at the concert, but also donations online. Last summer I did a charity promotion donating portions of my summer sales to the 3 Day Walk (donating over $150). This summer I’m going to donate to First Book via Joe’s Charity “Let’s Get This”.

I’ve teased about a summer studio promotion with a discounted session fee.  Well let’s do this!  In July and August, I will offer mini sessions at the studio in Detroit (Russell Industrial Center), not only at a discounted rate ($60), I will also donate $10 from every session booked to the Let’s Get this Foundation (an equivilent of 5 books per session booked).

Look for dates to be released VERY VERY VERY soon!  Tell your friends and family about this amazing deal!  $60 sessions AND 10 books being donated to the underprivileged children PER SESSION!  It’s INSANE!

And I can’t leave without some eye candy

The baby acne set in, and he wasn’t too keen on folding over for me much. But Brady cooperated and gave me this! He’s already a photographer’s kid

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
