I had a wonderful time you two! Sorry for the late blog post!!

Hey avid blog readers! This is a web only special. No emails, newsletters or phone calls. Blog, Twitter and Facebook followers get this.

Free sessions in December! Call now to book early dates. The studio is undergoing some renovations so all sessions are on location. Parks, cities and homes. If your withing an hour drive, I’m free!

The great Russo Family from last winter.

Time to get those last miniute christmas gifts. Or just in time to update that out of date 4 year old family photo on the wall. Its snowing! So these should be all fun! Snowball fights, snowmen, face plants! Give a shout and lets get together.

Some of you are bugging about my lack of postings lately. The truth is I have been doing a ton of behind the scenes business building things that take me away from things like blogging, twitter and facebook.

But no worries I will have a tremedus post soon filled with families, weddings and a few last minute seniors. Plus with it being winter and not much going on photographically, there will be more posts on random issues and thoughts and just plain cool things!

Thanks for checking in, keep checking next week we start the blogging again!

Here is one of my all time favorite shots! Leah and Matt engagement session. Fall 2006

Last week I shared a great lunch with Aletha from Pearls Events. We started out at the Red Ball Jet cafe. Great lunch spot on the North West side of GR. Then headed downtown for some shots of Aletha for promo material.

Aletha, for those that do not know, is a wedding planner or should we say coordinator. The best! She knows what to look for in regards to your tastes. And has a great blog to show you the way. Without a doubt if you are getting married check her out.

On to the photos!

I don’t have to tell you do I? I don’t care who you vote for……..just vote. I am going to wait in line right now.

Just do it!

Tricia & Jeremy were married at St. Anthony of Padua with the big party {reception} at The Cultural Center {St. Nicholas Church} Our first time at both place. Its always exciting to be at a new place and fall in love with them.The Cultural Center is a place to look at if you are a new Bride and not sure where the party might be.

After the wedding we hit Downtown Grand Rapids for a few and then off to the party.

It was a wonderful time and these images show it. Thanks Tricia and Jeremy. See you soon!
