{family} Rufener

Every time I come in town to West Michigan, my sister always says that shes wants family photos done, but for some reason or another we never got around to it-until this year.  It was her youngest's first birthday as well, so we could kill two birds with one stone, family photos and one year photos.  To get the older girls photos it took some bribery, suggestions, and a fast shutter speed! Those girls can move!

How dreamy was the light!?

Journey's 'sassy girl' pose. We would say "Journey, can you be a sassy girl?" She would say "yeah!" and strike this pose.

 Rylee would not hold still, unless we let her pic the location and everything involved with the shot. Not that I mind, because this image is gorgeous!

Jaden was also pretty pumped to pick his place where he could get his photo taken.  He was definitely the easiest, 3 frames and he was done.

Miss Kinley... the birthday girl.  

I love this shy girl pose she did. Sooo cute. Probably one of my favorites of the summer!

And, if you're wondering where I got the super cute headband from, it's by Chaseing Rain.

I have been itching to do a session at the Muskegon Fairgrounds...the shade, the barns, the fences...it would make the perfect setting!  When I set it up to do a family session there, I had no idea that they were going to be setting up the 4H fair that night, so unfortunately we were limited to 2-3 areas where there wouldn't be a giant striped tent in the background. Never the less, we got some pretty amazing shots, pretty quickly.

You might recognize those blue eyes...yes, this is the little man in my banner at the top of this webpage

This is what happens when you tell Jason to hold the baby 'naturally'...gotta give him props, make for a cute photo!

And, last but not least...I can't believe it's been a year....Bryson is so big now!

Get in before I'm gone!

Attention Western Michigan! My summer 'work-cation' will be coming to an end in a few weeks.  If you're interested in booking a session before I leave, don't fret-I still have a few openings!  If you're interested in the details, or want to set up a session, contact me at info@threesixfivephotography.com

{little people} Jaxon

Let me start this by saying, my nephew, Jaxon, has to be one of the most photogenic babies-um..ever!  My sister in law came into town tonight, and I shot her a text to bring along some clothes so we could do a little mini session for Mr. Jaxon's 7m pics.  There's a great field accross the street from my inlaws that I have been itching to photograph.  I kind of invisioned him in a fedora type hat, and because he's a very docile happy baby, I figured he'd totally leave it on (unlike my toddler).  These are some of the amazing shots I got in under 10 minutes-yes, that's right, under 10 minutes!! Why can't all children (including my own!) be this easy to photograph!??

Casting Call?

I haven't photographed a newborn in way too long!  So, that being said, I am ITCHING to photograph a brand new little person!  The infant will have to be under the age of 2 weeks at the time of the session, I try for 7-10 days new.  If this applies to you or someone you know please contact me at info@threesixfivephotography.com for more information-including special pricing and what's included in the pricing.

{little people} Kloey

Today was, in all honesty, one of the hottest days of the year-at least in Michigan anyway.  Today was also the day I had the pleasure of photographing little Miss Kloey and her family.  How cute is it that both Kloey and her Mommy have matching patterns!?  Kloey wasn't too fond of me and my camera, but we made it work.  Half way through the session I was a little worried I wouldn't get enough images of her, but I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged my card in to start processing some sneak peeks of the shoot.  Thankfully I got quite a few good ones before we all were red in the face, and covered in sweat!

It's coming together. . . slowly. . .

So, I am in the process of turning the 'blog' into the website. It's taking a little while, but I chose to stay with blogger because I know it best.  The thought of having to relearn a hosting site, and deal with coding... *shudders* No thank you!  So, here I will stay until I can afford to pay an IT person to build a site for me :)
