cleaning up

Somewhere between my brother’s wedding in California and a busy work season here in Michigan last summer, I photographed Shannon Dodge and her family.  Somewhere between the end of that busy season and me cleaning up my hard drives last week, I realized Shannon Dodge and her family had escaped my blog.  So, I pulled them from an archival death and am bringing back the warmth and Dodge family beauty from last summer.  I loved photographing this family.  They are just…so…magazine-y.

These images make me super happy…not only because they scream warmth and happiness, but because I was finally able to connect with an internet friend who I was so excited to meet in person.

So here’s to beautiful families and those gorgeous Michigan summer days that we are all waiting very patiently for…

  1. Photography is always fun but not always easy. One of the things that makes digital photography particularly difficult is trying to shoot in low light. Isn’t it irritating when the potential picture is amazing but the lighting situation is the pits? I’ve been there.

  2. I can’t wait to feel that sunshine again! It’s been snowing here for the last 4 days! Gorgeous family, and perfect images. I’m so glad you dug them out and shared!
