Just one for now. I am working on the others. My girls and their cousins Aria and Ayden.

Mini-sessions #6 {Kalamazoo Child Photographer}

Becky — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:54:54 +0000

My last minisession in Kalamazoo! Being the lucky girl that I am I also had time to catch up with another best friend – Nikki, my roommate from college. She made the drive from Chicago to see me and of course, I wanted to take some photos of Tommy. Unfortunately, Tommy misunderstood his mom when she said they were going to KalamaZOO – he was quite upset (as only 3 year olds can be) to realize that it was just a city and not actually a zoo. Furthermore, we told him we were going to a park to take photos – he was not happy that that park (K College’s beautiful campus) did not have a playground. Regardless of the misunderstandings, we still managed some cute photos! He is certainly going to be a heartbreaker one day!

Mini-sessions #5 {Kalamazoo Family Photographer}

Becky — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:14:36 +0000

Another minisession in Kalamazoo! This time I met up with another of my best friends (since we were 5 years old) and her family at the Celery Flats in Portage, Michigan. For a brief time before moving to CT, we lived in Ann Arbor and were able to see Sarah and Emily often. Then we moved and it is hard to get together. I haven’t had a chance to spend much time with Jenson at all! But what a load of personality he has! I think Sarah has a mini-me in Emily and Ryan has a mini-me in Jenson. Occasionally when I look at the kids, they remind me so much of their parents. Hope you enjoy!

The beautiful family!

Mini-Sessions #4 {Kalamazoo Child Photographer}

Becky — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:10:06 +0000

Another almost rained out session in Bronson Park! I am so happy the weather cooperated that day. This is Nathan. I have photographed him before so you might remember his beautiful blue eyes. He is the adorable son of one of my best friends. It makes me sad to see him so infrequently since we live so far away but I am always in awe at the new person he has become. Jess, on the other hand, is exactly the same and it always feels like it hasn’t been almost a year since I have seen her…more like days. Todd and Jess – it was great to spend time with you and play with Nathan (and boy, did he keep me on my toes!)

Mini-Sessions – #3 {Kalamazoo Family Photographer}

Becky — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:38:32 +0000

Another Kalamazoo minisession! The weather forecast did not look promising for this family. Rain all morning long. So I brainstormed some inside places in downtown Kalamazoo. But the photography gods smiled on us that day…the rain went away and the sun started shining. So we were able to continue with our session as planned. We laughed and giggled (well mostly, the kids laughed and giggled) all around Bronson Park. Thank you Robert, Patti, Teah and Carter for a fun session

I dare you not to giggle.

Mini-sessions – #2 {Kalamazoo family photographer}

These beautiful children are from my second minisession while in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Seriously, how adorable are they? I know Andrea really wants a family shot of all five of them but when I saw this photo of her older daughter, I was struck by how much she looks like her mom did at that age…I just had to get it on the blog. (Yes, Andrea and I went to school together back in the day and if not for the wonders of facebook, I wouldn’t have been able to meet her wonderful family.) Then of course, if I put Gabriella on the blog…I couldn’t leave out Jackson and cute little Delaney! I promise to share a family shot at a later date but I couldn’t resist these cute faces for today!

Miss Gabriella

Jackson (we also got a few fun golf ones of this guy!)

Delaney girl – check out her curls!

Minisessions – #1 {Kalamazoo Family Photographer}

Becky — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:42:10 +0000

While visiting family in the midwest, I had the opportunity to do some park minisessions while in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This is the first family that I met up with in Crane Park. It was hot and sunny and mosquitoes were in full force but they were troopers. And lucky for them, since I came home with about 20 bites, I doubt the mosquitoes had time to do too much damage with anyone else! I adore the matching dimples on these three.

This is Isabella…she is the baby of the family. Isn’t she gorgeous?!?

This is Lucas. I am sure those eyes and curls are going to have a lot of girls headed his way in a few years!

And this is Felippe. The last time I saw Felippe I think he was maybe 6 or 7. Imagine my surprise when I realized he is now a teenager! He told me he didn’t want to smile but his mom said that he had too.

And I have to say I love the smile in this photo. While it is certainly not a huge smile, you can see this subtle smile all the way up to his eyes.

Mine on Monday {CT child photographer}

We just got home today from our vacation to visit family in the midwest. Just one to share today of Hannah on the farm.

Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo!

Becky — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:01:05 +0000

I grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan (Yes, that is really the name). I went to school in Portage and Kalamazoo and graduated from Kalamazoo College. I started my first career as a chemist with Pharmacia and Upjohn/Pharmacia/Pfizer. In 2006, I decided to stay home with my daughter Hannah and our family moved to Ann Arbor for a brief stay before moving again to Connecticut. Last year I started a new career – one that I love – photographing babies, kids and families.

Next month, I will be home visiting friends and family. I will also be holding two days of minisessions in Kalamazoo, Michigan while I am there. Check out the info below.

Coke vs Pepsi

Becky — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:50:21 +0000

We have a debate in our family…Coke vs. Pepsi. I am a Coke girl all of the way. You know, the person who asked the server for a coke and when they ask “Is pepsi ok?” I reply “I’ll just have water.” Yep, that kind of Coke girl. And I married a diet Coke kind of guy (though he will drink pepsi if they don’t have coke). My college exclusively sold Pepsi (cafeteria, vending machines, etc.) and I drank Mountain Dew exclusively for 4 years.

Now our Illinois relatives love Pepsi. So when I saw the Pepsi building across from the Coke building (in Vegas) I had to take a couple of photos!

Perhaps the funniest thing was when I opened these photos on my computer…Hannah was looking at the Coke photo and wanted to know “What is that beer thing?” Not sure what is more amusing to me…that she has no idea that soda (soda in CT = pop in MI) used to come in glass bottles or that when she sees a glass bottle she thinks it is beer.

Feel free to sound off in the comment section as to whether you are Team Coke or Team Pepsi!
