Andrea ::Intern

I have been truly blessed this year to have a few fabulous interns that rock my socks! One of them is Andrea....she is such a sweety and its so exciting to have her on board!
One of the perks of interning is getting to have a photo shoot....I mean a girl has to have nice pics of herself! We headed out, drove through the country, I talked her ear off and made her walk aimlessly with me through the woods, but we still ended up with some really fun stuff.
On the way home from picking up my kids, she even witnessed what had to be the worst 2 year old melt-down in the history of kids and she didn't run far far away....How did I ever get so lucky??!!

Check out some of my fave pics below:

Rachel & Greg

Being married for a few years, must give couples the itch for some new pictures. I am glad that when they got the itch --they called ME! Rachel & Greg are such an wonderful couple and I loved hanging out with them! Since they are new to Michigan, I thought it would be fun to meet in East Lansing at the MSU campus for their very special shoot. There are so many beautiful ivy covered buildings that I thought I was in heaven! We walked around for what seemed like eternity (hehe) and I even got us a little lost, but Greg quickly brought us back to safety :) like a super hero! It was all worth it though because we got some awesome shots!
I also discovered that MSU has way too many abandoned bikes with flat tires chained up all over the place...maybe they should clean them up and donate them! They were fun to use in our shoot though...Enjoy the sneak peak:

Amber :: Sweet Sixteen

Amber is yet another beautiful niece of mine. She is also Brenna & Bregan's big sis and basically the leader of the pack when their mom is not looking!

In a little less than a weak she will be turning 16 and I can hardly believe what happened to that little girl that I used to bribe with twinkies making her repeat "Kerri is the best Aunt" over and over....(only later to find out that she hated twinkies and she was only trying to make me happy by playing my little game year after miserable year....how cute and sad at the same time!)

We went out a few weeks ago and walked the streets of Grand Rapids and captured some extra fun shots so I thought I would share a few....

I hope you have a spectacular birthday Ambo Wose! Your twinkies are in the mail!

(warning: Do NOT drool over my SIXTEEN year old niece! )

Brenna :: What a doll!

Brenna is my neice (she also happens to be Bregan's sis) and she came to stay with me for about 5 days recently while her mom and her other sibs were at Senior Camp with their youth group. She'll be off to Junior Camp in August so she won't have to miss out on all the fun!

Brenna was amazing to have around, she helped occupy my kids and she helped clean up my house and basically she was my little life saver. I love my family because they will help me out and all I have to do is pay them in pictures.....sounds like a win win to me! lol
She is 10 and in desperate need for some fun shots from Aunt Kerri so we headed to Spring Grove Park in Jamestown and snapped a few. Here are my faves:





Stay tuned because I have 4 weddings, an Urban Couture shoot, and a family session to blog....its been a crazy busy month!

Mrs. Paula

My sister Paula is one amazing woman! I have been chatting with her about doing a photo shoot for over a year now and we finally were able to get a few shots in while I was in town recently. It was so nice to have her model for me. I have a secret goal of making sure everyone in my family has some awesome pictures of themselves instead of the normal department store special.

I could not be any more blessed than I am to have her in my family. She is one of the most helpful and caring people I know and I love her to pieces!

Isn't she so gorgeous, look at those eyes!!
