the MIGHTY MIGHTY densmores

None other than my wonderful sister, brother-in-law and 2 newphews. All I can say is: LOVE

the MORRIS family

I have known Chris and Trevor Morris for years. We all grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same high school. I photographed their beautiful wedding and together they had two beautiful boys; Hayden and Harrison.  It is always fun hanging out with the Morris family.

This is Christina Escalante and her husband Jhonny, son Maximo and the newest addition...little Santino.  Love them!!!!

mr. webber COMES HOME

By far one of the most emotional experiences. This is Sam Webber's husband and crew coming home from Afghanistan after one whole year. All the wives, mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, friends, and children were awaiting their arrival at the airport.  Sam asked me to document it and I was honored. Thank you.

Lindsay and I have been friends since she came to our high school in 9th grade and now she has a beautiful family. This photo shoot was done in downtown Mount Clemens.

joan AND genesis

This Joan (JO-ANNE) Nehme and her daughter Genesis. I work with Joan and at work we call her Jo-Jo, she also has a twin brother Joel (JOE-EL). She and her brother are from Monrovia, Liberia. And let me tell you, she had not had it easy but she manages to keep a postive attitude and is grateful for everything she has. Joan absolutely adores her daughter as Genesis adores her.

This is the Escalante family. Jhonny and Christina are expecting their second son Santino "Sonny". Maximo is their oldest son who can not wait to teach his little brother the ways of the world

jasmineWEBBER

This is a friend from the block Samantha Webber, formally known as Samantha Spindler. These are her and her husband, Jeremy's two daughters; Julia ( the oldest) and Jasmine ( the baby). I met Jasmine when she was just months old and see her and the family every few months.  Both girls are so adorable and very good at modeling. Although Jasmine has the "I do what I want when I want " attitude. Julia is about 5, very well-spoken and a great help who hates throwing things away. She is an early recycler (:

The Harrison Family

I met the Harrison's this year in the winter time.  This is their first Son Eli, I met him when he was 6 months old. He is such a doll. His parents Phil and Sarah are such kind-hearted people and it is always a pleasure working with them.
