Carrie + Charlie have been wonderful clients and friends for years now. It all started with their wedding and now we get to do super cool sessions like this one for their anniversaries.

This concept was their idea. It was something very important to them. For the past 91 years, The Vinsetta Garage has been a functioning auto garage. It closed it’s doors and waas listed for sale at the end of 2010. Most who were familiar with the icon, were terrified that it would be torn down and replaced with a new generic building. However, the same people that brought us the amazing Clarkston Union are turning the garage into a restaurant (yes! it will have mac + cheese!). They say that the exterior will remain mainly the same, keeping the old garage vibe. Very cool. Let’s face it though, just that mac + cheese is enough to be labeled very cool ~ side note: if you have not bee to the Clarkston Union and tried that mac + cheese, do it asap.

So anyways,  Carrie + Charlie are super awesome and hot and happy and friendly and photogenic, so I know going into a shoot with them that it won’t be like work, it will just be fun and easy. This was no different. As soon as I point a camera at these two something magical happens. They make me love my job and photography more than I did before I pointed my camera at them.  That’s powerful.

A very special thanks to my friend Andy for helping me out on this special session.

I got lazy/busy, whatever you want to call it ;) and have not been a good blogger. So here is a mish mash of some of my favorite images from the past few months(ok fine maybe longer!).

From their wedding, to their pooches and now family portraits. This is what makes my job awesome. The Pavlik family is so laid back and easy going, it made for such a fun session (see last image of everyone wearing matching jammies – that’s a first for me!

Everyone is an adult, they can listen and stay put! Amazing. The Aiken fam is a hilarious, down to earth bunch who I had a wonderful experience spending time with!

It’s a nice change of pace to photograph a family that gets along and is actually semi-excited to be here :)

Almost every baby I have photographed in the last week has been super rad.

Kellan rocked these images so hard! He is a super handsome little man.

They did a killer job on wardrobe! Pinks and blues and greys? LOVE IT?

I love these images too. Obviously, posed, because they are studio portraits, but still so relaxed and casual.

But, as always, we are the victors and have some amazingly adorable images to prove it.

Take that girls!

I have photographed her twice before this. When she walked in last week I was so shocked that was a KID! Not a baby, not really even a toddler, but a KID! I can’t imagine how fast they seem to grow when they are actually yours!

The last shot, I think is hilarious. Poor Bagley (the pooch) seems so defeated laying there on the floor and Bree, as if victorious over him again, sits there playing with toys. Love it~!
